Outside Linebacker · Los Angeles Chargers

Tuli Tuipulotu

No. 45 · 4th season

The Chargers have a decision coming, and Tuli Tuipulotu is the reason why

One contract year has a way of clarifying things. For the Los Angeles Chargers, Tuli Tuipulotu is now that kind of question — one they'll need to answer soon.

Tuipulotu has built enough of a case in Los Angeles that a report now names him as the next Charger who should be extended before he hits the open market. That's the kind of recognition that comes from being too good to assume away.

Final contract years do two things at once: they raise a player's visibility and quietly raise the temperature in the front office. Every game this season carries a little extra weight — for Tuipulotu, for the team, for whoever's doing the math.
