Tom Telesco is confident that Eric Weddle will eventually be signed by the San Diego Chargers to a long-term extension.

Weddle is entering his ninth NFL season, all spent with San Diego. He hasn't missed a game the past five years while being named an All-Pro after each of them. 

"He's a major part of our football team, an excellent player," Telesco said. "I'm sure our future would have him involved. There's no doubt. We're a better football team with him."
