Chargers TE Hunter Henry not expecting contract extension before deadline

Chargers tight end Hunter Henry is expecting to play the 2020 season on the franchise tag.
Henry and the Chargers have until 1 p.m. Wednesday to agree on a contract extension, but Henry doesn’t see that happening and is preparing to be locked into his $10.6 million franchise tender he signed in April. After the deadline, teams aren’t allowed to negotiate with franchise-tagged players until after the season.
