What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers and first-round pick Akheem Mesidor have agreed to terms on a four-year rookie contract. The deal is fully guaranteed and worth $20,456,392, negotiated by agents Robert Bailey and Drew Rosenhaus.

Why it matters: Securing Mesidor's contract ensures the defensive end will be ready for the start of training camp without any holdout distractions. The fully guaranteed structure of the deal aligns with standard first-round rookie wage scale protocols under the current collective bargaining agreement.
