NFL: Justin Herbert, quarterback of the Los Angeles Chargers, signs the biggest contract in the history of US football

For the third time in less than four months, an American football player has signed the biggest contract in history. Inflation is also affecting the NFL, since Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert signed the biggest contract extension in the history of the big US football league on Wednesday.

The N. 10 of the Californian franchise has extended his contract for 5 seasons for 262M dollars, or 52.5M dollars annually. In this contract, 218.7M dollars are guaranteed to the 6th choice of the 2020 draft.

Last April, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (last runner-up) signed the biggest contract in history before Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson stole the show ten days later.
