EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Derwin James has accomplished plenty with the Los Angeles Chargers, including agreeing to a new three-year contract extension on Tuesday that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid safety once again.
Success in the playoffs, however, has been elusive during James’ first seven seasons. He hopes to address the one gap in his otherwise stellar resume during the new deal, which now runs through 2029.
