The Chargers used the No. 5 general pick on Notre Dame left tackle Joe Alt, however that’s not a mirrored image on the staff’s present left tackle, Rashawn Slater.
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh stated Slater is locked-in because the staff’s beginning left tackle, and now the Chargers have backed up these phrases with actions by choosing up Slater’s fifth-year option, in keeping with Field Yates of ESPN.
That means Slater has a assured wage of $19 million for 2025. After that he might develop into an unrestricted free agent, get the franchise tag in 2026, or work out a long-term extension with the Chargers.
The latter looks like the most probably option, as Harbaugh needs to have two good offensive tackles, and Alt says he’s prepared, prepared and capable of transfer to proper tackle after taking part in on the left aspect in faculty. Slater and Alt each have a shiny future in Los Angeles.
