Molden (shin) signed a three-year, $18.75 million contract extension with the Chargers on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Molden bounced back from a 2022 season that was derailed by a groin injury to post career-high marks in snaps and tackles in 2023. He also tallied a pick-six for the second time in his three-year career, showcasing a notable play-making ability. As the Titans' roster is constructed in late May, Molden should have the inside track to start at strong safety, and he should be in line for another career-best statistical season if he can stay healthy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Key to Bolts' offseason
Re-signing Molden will be central to the Chargers' offseason plans, Kris Rhim of ESPN suggests.
ANALYSIS
Molden was acquired via trade at the end of training camp, and he immediately became a key figure in the Chargers' secondary. He was credited with seven pass breakups and three interceptions while playing 721 snaps across 15 regular-season games. Molden will be recovering from a fractured fibula this offseason, but he's still likely to earn a nice raise, whether with the Chargers or another team in free agency.
