Herbert had another year left on his rookie contract, but the Chargers were eager to lock him up long-term after he emerged as one of the best quarterbacks in the league in his first three seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>Herbert has thrown for 14,089 yards and 94 touchdowns in his three seasons with the Chargers<\/strong>, and he helped lead them to their first playoff appearance since 2018 last season.
