Chargers GM Joe Hortiz: "High" priority on Derwin James spending his whole career here

Safety Derwin James has been with the Chargers since entering the NFL in 2018 and the team would like to see him continue to wear their uniform through the end of his playing days.

James is moving into the final year of his current contract and General Manager Joe Hortiz said last month that he anticipated an acceleration of talks about a new deal after the draft. It's almost June now and Hortiz said on Up & Adams that getting something done remains at the top of his list of priorities.

"It's high, it’s high," Hortiz said. "I’ve told the story, in Baltimore we had Derwin up there as the number one player on our board in that draft, you know, the No. 1 player available when we were picking. And we took a trade back and he got picked. I said to him when I first met him, I'm like, 'Gosh, you should've been a Raven. We traded away from you, but I'm glad you're not because I'm here now.' He's such a special, special leader and person. Like Justin [Herbert], the talent is real and it's there, but the leader and motivator and energy he gives to everybody within the organization, throughout the entire building, it's so unique. One of the best I've ever been around in terms of leadership, talent and character."

James has been both productive and durable over recent seasons and he'll get a chance to continue to do both for the Chargers as long as all goes well at the negotiating table.

I’ve not seen Komae play before, but a 17-year-old home wildcard, making his grand slam debut, has my attention. He’s giving Cilic plenty, down 3-4 on serve, and I’m excited to see what he does from here.

Five games in a row for Walton, who takes the first set off Medvedev 6-2 in just half an hour. I wonder if the no 6 seed is following a kind of José Mourinho arc, where he over-indexes on the confrontational stuff that helped make him brilliant to the exclusion of the other stuff that was equally important, losing the run of himself in the process.

Where do you go after Lionel Messi, Major League Soccer? ?

This is not just a question MLS will ponder, but one soccer in general has been thinking about for some time. It has led to a desperate trend of labelling every promising youngster the ‘next Messi’, but such was (and remarkably still is) the Argentinian’s quality, that there may not be another player at his level for decades. There may never be one.
