Major updates in the NFL landscape have emerged as teams gear up for the upcoming season. The Los Angeles Chargers made a significant investment in their offensive line, sealing a four-year, $114 million contract extension for left tackle Rashawn Slater, which includes $92 million guaranteed. This move not only signifies the franchise's commitment to protecting quarterback Justin Herbert but also positions Slater among the highest-paid players in his position.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs have seen promising developments with rookie left tackle Josh Simmons, who has impressed in training camp, securing a first-team spot. His performances suggest that the Chiefs' offensive line is in good shape, potentially alleviating concerns from last season where quarterback Patrick Mahomes faced heavy pressure. However, the absence of receiver Mike Williams raises questions about the Chargers' passing game as they look to elevate their offensive strategy this upcoming season.
