The Los Angeles Chargers and tight end Hunter Henry were unable to work out a long-term contract by the deadline to do so, despite strong mutual interest in getting a new deal done, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Henry has inked his one-year, $11 million tender, so he will be donning a Chargers uniform for at least another season. However, due to how close the two sides were on working out a long term contract, it’s a good possibility that they could work one out in the future.

“I’m not worried about it,” Henry recently said, according to OC Register’s Gilbert Manzano. “I’m just going to go out there. I get a chance to play this year and do my thing this year. I’m pretty locked in on what I got ahead of me in the 2020 season. That’s what I’m locked in for, you know, I don’t like to look too far ahead.”

“To me, I have so much to prove,” Henry said. “Honestly, everybody knows my history of injuries. Unfortunate injuries that have happened in my career and I feel like that has held me back a little bit sometimes. I’m just eager to kinda get through something that I haven’t been able to do for a full season.

“I think that’s the biggest thing I’m focusing on. Just trying to stay healthy. I’ve just had some unfortunate injuries come my way. I feel the best I’ve felt in probably a couple years, for sure. I’m excited.”
