“For My Dad”: $262,500,000 Justin Herbert Plans a Heartwarming Present to His Dear Father With His First Massive Paycheck

Herbert has more in mind for his father than simply splurging with his massive $262.5 million contract extension. As the third quarterback this year to secure a blockbuster extension, he surpassed many rich contracts bagged this year.

Joining the likes of Eagles Jalen Hurts ($255 million) and Ravens Lamar Jackson ($260 million), Justin Herbert has claimed the title of the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history based on average annual value. However, instead of basking in the limelight, Herbert plans to put his fame and fortune to good use. A day ago, he revealed on Pat McAfee‘s show a touching and thoughtful present he has in store for his beloved father.

Herbert’s priceless present for his dad

Yesterday, Justin Herbert made an appearance on the ‘Pat McAfee Show,’ where he was asked about his plans after signing the massive contract extension. The hosts of the show asked him, if would he opt to “build a massive house” or do something else. In a heartwarming response, Herbert shared, “I’m thinking maybe put a field goal post in my backyard for my dad, so he doesn’t have to tape it up anymore.”

He also added, “I feel I owe him a couple of dinners at least.” Herbert’s father, Mark Herbert, has a strong sports background, having played football and excelled in track at the University of Montana. His mother, Holly Herbert, also has a sports legacy, having been a talented college basketball player at the University of Oregon.

Herbert bags a massive five-year contract

The Los Angeles Chargers and star quarterback Justin Herbert agree on a groundbreaking five-year, $262.5 million contract extension. This contract set a new record for the highest-paid NFL quarterback with an annual average value of $52.5 million. The deal includes a no-trade clause and provides $133.7 million in full guarantees, ensuring Herbert’s presence in Los Angeles until the 2029 season.
