LACQB • #8

Chargers re-signed QB Taylor Heinicke to a one-year, $6.2 million contract.

The 31-year-old Heinicke smartly re-ups with the Chargers as Justin Herbert’s backup. His days of competing for a starting job are well behind him, but teams have done worse than Heinicke to cover for a small injury here or there. The Chargers should be equally happy to retain a moderately capable game manager behind Herbert.
