2025 Fantasy Outlook
Despite missing two games due to an early-season pectoral injury, Slater graded out as one of the best tackles in the league, which ultimately led to his second Pro Bowl appearance. The 2021 first-round pick is eligible for a mammoth extension in the coming months and should get rewarded handsomely as one of the game's premiere young left tackles. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $114 million contract with the Chargers in July of 2025.
Gets historic contract extension
Slater agreed to a four-year, $114 million contract extension with the Chargers on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Slater's extension makes him the highest-paid offensive lineman on a per-year basis in NFL history. The deal also includes a record $92 million in guarantees. The 2021 first-round pick is a two-time Pro Bowler who, after missing the majority of the 2022 season with a ruptured biceps, has played all but two regular-season games over the last two seasons. Not only does this deal secure Slater as the Chargers' long-term left tackle, but it's also a clear investment in a revamped offensive line to protect franchise quarterback Justin Herbert.

2021
Slater immediately picked up where he left off in 2022 before his season was ended prematurely due to a ruptured biceps, immediately solidifying an offensive line that struggled mightily due to injuries the previous season. While Slater did allow three sacks in the 2023 campaign and the offense as a whole finished with the eighth fewest rushing yards among NFL teams, little of that should be attributed to 2021 first-round pick, who figures to be one of the team's offensive leaders in an expected run-heavy scheme.
