While contract extension talks for Philip Rivers and Eric Weddle have fallen by the wayside, it’s Liuget who may end up with a contract extension.
Liuget, 25, was the Bolts’ 2011 first-round selection and has played in 61 0f 64 games over his first four seasons.
Last season he accumulated 4.5 sacks and has 18 on his four-year career. Over that time he has forced four fumbles, recovered four fumbles, racked up 127 tackles and scored a touchdown.
