Chargers safety Derwin James is in the final year of his rookie contract, the fifth-year option the team picked up last May.
Los Angeles wants to sign him to a long-term deal, and James wants to remain in the blue and gold, which is why they are optimistic an extension can be reached ahead of training camp, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Fowler also notes that the expectation is that James will become the league’s highest-paid safety.
