Chargers' QB Justin Herbert Hints at Holdout If No New Deal Reached Before Training Camp

Justin Herbert suggested missing practices is possible if a contract extension isn't agreed to before Chargers training camp begins in July.
Herbert and Bengals QB Joe Burrow are expected to sign lucrative long-term contracts that could surpass those of Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson.
A "hold-in," where players report to camp but don't participate, has become more common as players try to force teams' hands in contract talks without incurring fines.
The Chargers and Herbert's representatives are engaged in ongoing discussions about a new deal for the star quarterback.
Chargers RB Austin Ekeler agreed to $1.75 million in added incentives for 2022 after failing to reach an extension.
