LOS ANGELES — The Charger signed soccer player Cameron Dicker multi-year extension, the team announced Friday.
The deal is for four years and $22.04 million, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The extension includes $12.5 million guaranteed, sources told Schefter.
The Chargers rewarded Dicker after one of the best seasons of his career in 2023, when he was one of the Chargers’ most consistent players. Dicker set the franchise record for 50-yard receptions in a season last year with seven.
Dicker has had a bit of a winding road to this point. He went undrafted out of the University of Texas in 2022, then spent time with three different teams during his rookie season before joining the Chargers in Week 7 after a kicker injury. Dustin Hopkins.
Last season, he and Hopkins competed for the position throughout training camp, with Dicker eventually winning the starting job. The Chargers traded Hopkins to the Browns.
Dicker quickly became a fan favorite last season, gaining significant notoriety for his performance in a video released by the Chargers to lobby Dicker for a Pro Bowl berth.
“I think one of the greatest qualities on our team is Cameron Dicker,” coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier this month. “The way he works, the confidence he shows, the real confidence and just being really great at what he does. That’s starting to rub off on me.
“… If I could live my life the way Cameron Dicker lives, what an interesting and fun life it would be.”
