Tuipulotu Extension Looms | Los Angeles Chargers News

The Chargers are on the verge of locking down Tuli Tuipulotu, their breakout pass rush star, as the season opener looms — and for good reason. Despite playing through camp while talks dragged on, Tuipulotu’s 70 pressures and 13 sacks last year made him indispensable next to Khalil Mack. With Mack possibly in his final season and Akheem Mesidor unproven, stability at this position is critical. GM Joe Hortiz says no deadline pressure exists — both sides are aligned — but waiting risks letting Tuipulotu hit free agency with no deal. Signing now isn’t just smart; it’s essential for the defense’s future. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
