Derwin James cashed in on a lucrative new contract extension with the Chargers on Tuesday.
The new deal is for three years and is worth $75.6 million, including $57.5 million in guaranteed money. James becomes the highest-paid safety in the NFL in terms of the average annual value of his contract. James’s extension won’t kick in until next season, so he’ll be under contract with the Chargers through the 2029 campaign.
