SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Outside linebacker Shaun Phillips signed a six-year contract with the San Diego Chargers on Tuesday.
The deal keeps Phillips from becoming a restricted free agent. Phillips became a starter after Steve Foley was shot by an off-duty police officer eight days before the season opener.
Phillips had a career-high 11 1/2 sacks, contributing to the Chargers' NFL-high of 61. He was second among NFL linebackers, behind only teammate Shawne Merriman, who led the NFL with 17.

Good job by the Chargers locking this guy up. He's a young guy and having him threw 2012 is very good news for Chargers fans.
