I don't understand why it's taking so long to get a deal done. Either they have the resources (money & cap space, future and present) to pay him or they don't. It shouldn't be difficult to sort out.

Edit: also given the fact that there’s a hard cap, it’s important to be strategic as well since Herbert can get an extension starting next year.

Chargers probably want to have some protection because of his injury past. I wouldn’t be frustrated about the situation too much given that this is normal negotiations. Derwin obviously isn’t worried or frustrated yet.

I’m amused by irony of folks who demand Derwin not do what he feels is best for himself but instead play as thats best for the fans. I get it.
I’m sure it will get done. Just a matter of when.“Less is more? NO NO NO - MORE is MORE!”

The Team may want to hold off until rosters start to get settled....if a vet is cut in a position of need and we've locked our salary cap down now for DJ we can't execute on getting that player. Reality is we are nowhere near a firm deadline. Clearly DJ wants to be here and is making the practices still and working out onsite and the team wants him and still has every plan for him to be there....plus he's under contract too. I think its likely to be done the week before week 1 starts so DJ can be in the walkthrus and prep against the Vegas Shitstainers. That way he stays healthy and gets practice time when it means something but puts a sense of urgency on both sides.....right now there is no urgency so sides are less likely to want to give yet. I expect he will be the highest paid safety in the league at his signing....but he's probably worth that in his 2nd contract.
