Overview

  • Tre Harris, the Chargers’ 55th overall pick, has not reported to training camp while he presses for a fully guaranteed deal.
  • He is the first of 30 second-round selections this year to hold out over guarantee demands.
  • Second-round picks Jayden Higgins and Carson Schwesinger secured fully guaranteed contracts, setting a new benchmark that Harris is citing.
  • Harris’s camp absence delays his on-field reps and chemistry building with quarterback Justin Herbert.
  • His standoff could prompt the remaining 29 second-round picks to hold out for similar terms, threatening to reshape the NFL’s rookie wage scale.
