Chargers lock in Rashawn Slater with a multi-year extension
Associated Press EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — The Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday agreed to a multi-year contract extension with left tackle Rashawn Slater, keeping him as Justin Herbert's protector. Slater has started all 52 games at left tackle since being chosen 13th overall in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Northwestern. Last season, he started 16 games including the postseason, as the Chargers' offense committed eight turnovers — the fewest in franchise history and tied for the second-fewest offensive turnovers in a single season in NFL history. As a rookie in 2021, Slater was a second-team All-Pro after leading a front that protected for the No. 4-ranked total offense in the NFL (390.2 yards per game) as Herbert threw for an AFC-best 32 touchdowns. Slater was also named the starting left tackle for the AFC in the Pro Bowl, becoming the first rookie tackle to do so since 2012. ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3

Ravens OC Todd Monken finishes 8th in voting for AP NFL Assistant Coach of the Year
Todd Monken has gotten the best out of Lamar Jackson. After getting passed over for several high-profile head coaching jobs, the veteran offensive play-caller finalized a deal to remain with the Ravens. Monken was a finalist for the AP NFL Assistant Coach of the Year award and finished 8th in voting. Voting for AP NFL Assistant Coach of the Year: Ben Johnson 29-12-4-1-0: 364 Brian Flores 3-13-12-4-4: 143 Aaron Glenn 6-3-7-4-6: 110 Vic Fangio 3-9-4-8-6: 109 Joe Brady… — Rob Maaddi (@RobMaaddi) February 7, 2025 Monken spent three years in Athens as offensive coordinator, leading the Georgia Bulldogs to back-to-back national championships in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons. In his first season with the Ravens, Jackson had one of his best seasons, leading the team to an AFC-best 13-4 record. Every offense Monken has commanded since 2021 has finished in the top 10 in total offense, with his title-winning team in 2022 and his first-year Lamar Jackson ranking in the top five. Lamar Jackson could win another MVP this season after accounting for 45 touchdowns and the NFL's No. 1 ranked offense.
