Ex-wife of Los Angeles Chargers star Rashawn Slater blasts reporter over 'deplorable' divorce comment
The ex-wife of Los Angeles Chargers star Rashawn Slater, Stassney Brown, has blasted NFL reporter Dov Kleiman over his 'deplorable' comment about the couple's recent divorce. Brown and Slater have gone their separate ways, with the split being publicized at the same time the offensive lineman's new contract was signed. The 26-year-old is reportedly set to sign a four-year, $114 million contract extension that includes a record $92 million guaranteed. The deal is set to make Slater the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. Kleiman mostly reported the facts, with the divorce caveat before finishing his social media message - 'talk about good timing.' Brown has retorted to Kleiman, defending her ex-husband despite no longer being together. 'This is deplorable. I hold nothing but support for Rashawn,' Brown said on X. 'His contract is not about me. I think we should focus on what's most important here, and that is his career and his success. Please stop including me in this narrative. He deserves his moment.' Kleiman responded quickly to Brown's claim, with details of the timeline for the divorce not being publicized alongside his comments. 'It wasn't about you. It was about Rashawn keeping the money that he worked hard for. I didn't mention your name. So you decide to draw more attention to yourself? But also claiming he deserves his moment,' Kleiman said. NFL fans have blasted Kleiman for his comments, saying he is 'gaslighting' Brown and others by stating his intentions, yet including her photo in multiple messages about Slater. The Chargers and Slater's representatives, CAA Football, have reportedly been hammering out the deal for weeks. Slater was set to enter the final year on his current contract but is now tied to Los Angeles until 2029. Selected by the Chargers with the 13th overall pick in 2021, Slater has already earned two Pro-Bowl nods over his four-year NFL career. He was limited to three games in 2022 because of a ruptured biceps, but has otherwise been a permanent fixture on the Bolts' offensive line.

Chargers lock in Rashawn Slater with a multi-year extension
The Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday agreed to a multi-year contract extension with left tackle Rashawn Slater, keeping him as Justin Herbert's protector. Slater has started all 52 games at left tackle since being chosen 13th overall in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft out of Northwestern. Last season, he started 16 games including the postseason, as the Chargers' offense committed eight turnovers — the fewest in franchise history and tied for the second-fewest offensive turnovers in a single season in NFL history. As a rookie in 2021, Slater was a second-team All-Pro after leading a front that protected for the No. 4-ranked total offense in the NFL (390.2 yards per game) as Herbert threw for an AFC-best 32 touchdowns. Slater was also named the starting left tackle for the AFC in the Pro Bowl, becoming the first rookie tackle to do so since 2012.

Los Angeles Chargers secure Rashawn Slater with record-breaking $114 m extension
The Los Angeles Chargers have bolstered their offensive line by signing left tackle Rashawn Slater to a historic four-year, $114 million contract extension. This agreement ensures the two-time Pro Bowler remains with the team through the 2029 season, providing long-term stability for quarterback Justin Herbert's protection. The four-year deal worth $114 million signed by Rashawn Slater includes $92 million in guaranteed money. This makes Slater the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history with an average annual salary of $28.5 million. The extension comes as Slater was entering the final year of his rookie contract, set to earn $19 million on his fifth-year option in 2025. With no long-term security beyond this season, negotiations between the Chargers' front office and CAA Football had been ongoing for weeks. The new deal not only rewards Slater's contributions but also ensures continuity for a team aiming to build a championship-caliber roster around Herbert. Drafted 13th overall in 2021, Rashawn Slater has been a significant performer for the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite a biceps injury limiting him to just three games in 2022, Slater has been a reliable player at left tackle. His exceptional play earned him Pro Bowl honours in two of his four NFL seasons. 'Rashawn Slater is a cornerstone of our offensive line,' Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz told local reporters during training camp. Slater's absence from training camp practices had been a point of speculation, as he held out while awaiting a contract extension. However, he reported to camp on July 16, signaling his commitment to the team despite the ongoing negotiations. The resolution of these discussions has paved the way for Slater to return to the field, likely rejoining his teammates for the Los Angeles Chargers' next practice session. The Los Angeles Chargers' investment in Rashawn Slater highlights their strategy to build a strong offensive front. With $92 million guaranteed, the team has shown confidence in Slater's ability to remain a top-tier performer through 2029. As the NFL continues to prioritize quarterback protection, Slater's record-breaking deal could set a precedent for future contracts at the position. This extension is a win for both Rashawn Slater and the Los Angeles Chargers, ensuring that one of the league's best young linemen remains a part of the franchise for the foreseeable future.
