Los Angeles Chargers extend CB Casey Hayward’s contract

The Los Angeles Chargers locked up cornerback Casey Hayward for the next three years with a $36 million contract extension that includes $20 million guaranteed.

Hayward, who had one year remaining on the three-year, $15.3 million contract he signed two years ago, was named second-team All-Pro in 2017 after starting all 16 regular-season games for the Chargers. The new deal will run through the 2021 season.

It’s not immediately known how the new deal will impact the Chargers’ salary cap. Before the extension, Hayward’s contract was to count $5.1 million against the cap in 2018.
