## Resource

The Chargers just locked down Derwin James on a massive three-year, $75.6M deal, making him the highest-paid safety in the league and a cornerstone of their defense. But the real priority? Getting pass rusher Tuli Tuipulotu signed long-term before training camp. With Khalil Mack’s production declining and injury history mounting, the team can’t rely on him as their future edge rusher. They’ve added depth with Odafe Oweh and drafted Akheem Mesidor, but neither offers immediate impact. Tuipulotu is their answer — and they need to move fast to secure him for years to come.
