Casey Hayward got the raise he deserved after two standout seasons for the Chargers.

The Pro Bowl cornerback agreed to a three-year [url=http://www.authenticsmiamidolphins.com/cheap-jason-sanders-jersey]Jason Sanders Jersey Elite[/url] , $36 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

The Chargers and Hayward's agent, David Mulugheta, confirmed the deal. NFL first reported the extension.

Hayward gets $20 million guaranteed after two Pro Bowl seasons for the Chargers, who signed him in San Diego as a free agent from Green Bay in 2016. The six-year pro has played in every game since moving to the West Coast, getting 11 total interceptions while drawing the toughest defensive assignments for the Chargers' much-improved defense last year.

"Got to thank the @Chargers and the Spanos family for everything," Hayward tweeted. "Believing in a guy everybody said was a NICKEL guy and giving him a chance to flourish outside. 3 more years and counting. Let's push for that ring."

Hayward had played his way into a starting role for the Packers in 2015 after beginning his career mostly as a slot defender, but Green Bay let him walk 鈥?and Hayward immediately became one of the NFL's best defensive backs with the Bolts. The website Pro Football Focus graded Hayward as the NFL's best coverage defender last season.

Hayward had one year remaining on his initial free-agent contract. He joins several key defensive players with the Chargers who are locked into long-term deals, including Joey Bosa, Melvin Ingram and Jahleel Addae.

After winning nine of their final 12 games and barely missing out on a playoff spot, the Chargers likely aren't looking to overhaul their defense during the free agent period. They hope to re-sign starting safety Tre Boston [url=http://www.giantsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-customized]Authentic Customized Giants Jerseys[/url] , but he could command top dollar on the market after his strong season.

We already know that Antonio Brown has made it to the top of the NFL. Now, he's made it onto the cover of the video game he played as a youngster while dreaming of getting to the NFL.

EA SPORTS unveiled Brown on Wednesday as the cover guy for Madden NFL 19 and Madden NFL Overdrive. The game will be available Aug. 10 worldwide.

"To be on the cover is a real honor I've wanted to always have because I have so much connection with the game," says Brown, an All-Pro receiver the last four seasons and runner-up to Todd Gurley as NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2017. "Growing up as a kid I played Madden all the time, was being inspired by the players in the game. And now to be on the cover, it's a special feeling."

Brown, of course, is a special player, one many of his peers consider the best in the league. The fact he's a self-made success story endears him to the fans, too.

Brown was a sixth-round draft pick (195th overall) in 2010 from Central Michigan [url=http://www.titansfootballauthentics.com/rashaan-evans-jersey-authentic]Youth Rashaan Evans Jersey[/url] , not exactly a college power. He barely got on the field as a rookie, yet by 2011 he was gaining 1,108 yards as Ben Roethlisberger's favorite new target.

From there, Brown has been virtually unstoppable, averaging just under 1,570 yards in receptions, with 52 touchdowns in the last five years. He's also a dynamic punt returner.

The only surprise about Brown being on the Madden cover is it took so long for him to get there.

"There's a lot of milestones athletes dream of," he says, "and after being inducted into the Madden 99 Club earlier this year, and now appearing on the cover of this year's games [url=http://www.coloradorockiesteamshop.com/authentic-kyle-freeland-jersey]Kyle Freeland Colorado Rockies Jersey[/url] , it's clear that business is not just booming, but I'm also among the all-time greatest with these honors."

Brown believes the Steelers can be a great team this season 鈥?why wouldn't he? 鈥?and that Le'Veon Bell's potential holdout won't be a detriment. Just like last year, when Bell didn't reach a long-term contract and also played under the franchise tag, Brown figures even if the star running back reports in September, he'll have his usual impact.

"I think he is going to be excited, he's a great player and understands whatever he needs to do to be a great player," Brown says. "He will be ready to do whatever he has to do.

"We're definitely good enough to win the Super Bowl this year, we got all the goods, all the right people," Brown adds. "We just have to make sure we do it right."

One thing Brown does right [url=http://www.lionscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-sylvester-williams-jersey]Authentic Sylvester Williams Jersey[/url] , according to his peers throughout the league and to NFL fans, is celebrate his big plays. He claims his dances and moves aren't pre-planned and that they come to him "naturally, however you feel."

He's eager for those gyrations to be highlighted in Madden.

"AB has taken the league by storm the past few years and is arguably one of the best wide receivers to ever play in the NFL," said Josh Rabenovets, senior brand director at EA SPORTS. "His game is hot, he's got a ton of personality on and off the field. He was an easy choice for the Madden NFL 19 cover."
