Corey Linsley Agrees To Restructured Deal

9 months ago

Los Angeles Chargers center Corey Linsley agreed to a restructured contract on Monday that lowers his base salary from $11.5 million to the minimum for the 2024 season. The move creates $10.29 million in salary cap space for now, and if Linsley decides to retire after June 1, the team can spread the dead cap hit over two years. The 32-year-old veteran told reporters after the 2023 season that he was 99 percent likely to retire this offseason. Linsley was placed on Injured Reserve last year due to a heart issue and only played in three games. The Chargers are simply planning ahead in the likely event that Linsley hangs up his cleats before the start of the new league year. Linsley was a former fifth-round pick of the Packers in 2014 and made his one and only Pro Bowl in his first year with LA in 2021.
