Twenty-four year old Luis Castillo has signed a five-year extension of his contract with the National Football League's San Diego Chargers, making him a NFL Superstar. Castillo will receive more than $19 million over the first two years of the contract and possibly more than $43 million over the lifetime of the deal.
Castillo was born in Brooklyn, New York to a Dominican mother, herself a New York success story for her Dominican hair product import business. Castillo has kept close touch with his Dominican family and hosts a youth football clinic on his trips to the DR.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that this makes Castillo the first of the Chargers' high-profile players to sign a long-term extension since the team began its recent push to lock up a number of star players whose contracts are due to expire in the next few years. Castillo's contract was due to expire after the 2009 season but now runs through 2014.
