The Chargers and DB Elijah Molden have agreed to a three-year, $18.75 million contract extension, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $13.5 million in guarantees.
Molden in January: "This is a place where I kind of revitalized my career."
HC Jim Harbaugh: "Give a hat off to [GM] Joe Hortiz and [assistant GM] Chad Alexander, the whole pro personnel department for finding Elijah for us. He's come in and been a great addition."
The Chargers traded a mere seventh-round pick to get Molden from the Titans just ahead of last season.
Molden had split time between CB and safety through his first three seasons but became a safety in full with L.A. He joined Alohi Gilman at the back of the defense, while Derwin James played the most slot snaps of his career (along with safety duties).
All three DBs now remain under contract through at least 2025.
Molden fractured his left fibula in Week 17 but said he wouldn't need surgery and that he'd be back from both that and a Week 15 meniscus tear for the start of the offseason program.
Molden's career-best fantasy scoring average still landed him well outside the top 50 DBs in points per game.
A quick look at the most important matchup data to consider when making Week 10 start/sit decisions, including implied points, projected plays, WR/CB matchups, and adjusted fantasy points allowed.
