Chargers offensive tackle Shane Olivea signed a new six-year deal Wednesday that will run through the 2011 season.
He was due to become a restricted free agent following this season.
Olivea has been the starting right tackle since joining the team as a seventh-round draft choice out of Ohio State in 2004. He's missed only one start, due to a sprained knee.

Backup A.J. Feeley was waived Monday by the San Diego Chargers, whose remaining three quarterbacks have zero NFL starts and one touchdown pass among them.
The Chargers also released two draft picks and learned they'll be without left tackle Roman Oben for the season's first six weeks. As it is, the Chargers are currently down to fourth-string left tackle Cory Lekkerkerker as they try to keep first-year starting quarterback Philip Rivers in one piece. Rivers' backups are both rookies.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers slightly bruised his throwing shoulder when he was sacked late in the second quarter of Saturday night's exhibition game against Seattle.
Rivers had been scheduled to play into the third quarter. But he was the last player to return to the sideline after halftime, escorted by trainer James Collins. His right shoulder was wrapped and it appeared he was holding his arm close to his side.
Rivers was sacked by Craig Terrill and fumbled the ball, which was recovered by Darryl Tapp.

The 12-time Pro Bowl linebacker ended his career as only he could, with a news conference that was part revival meeting and part standup comedy.

Junior Seau, one of the best linebackers of his era, will announce his retirment on Monday at the San Diego Chargers' training facility, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
Seau, who spent most of his career with the Chargers, will end his 16-year career with 12 Pro Bowl selections and 1,585 tackles -- the most ever by a linebacker. He's widely considered a lock for enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in 2011.
