Chargers GM Joe Hortiz told reporters at the Combine on Tuesday that they’ve opened talks with LT Rashawn Slater regarding a long-term extension.
“We’ve had conversations,” Hortiz said, per Kris Rhim. “I love Rashawn. I love Rashawn. And Rashawn is a great player, and he helps us win football games, so I’d love Rashan to be around for a long time.”

The Chargers picked up his fifth-year option last year worth $19.04 million guaranteed for the 2025 season. He’s in line to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026.
In 2024, Salter appeared in 15 games for the Chargers, making 15 starts for them. He was also a Pro Bowl selection in 2024.
