2019 record: 5-11

2020 salary cap space: $49.0 million

Key free agents: Melvin Gordon, Hunter Henry, Michael Schofield, Adrian Phillips

First-round pick: No. 6

The Chargers will be one of the most interesting teams in the league this offseason, mainly because they have already decided to move on from longtime quarterback Philip Rivers.

The Chargers have been heavily linked to Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert but there have been many analysts that have predicted that they could be a landing spot for free agent quarterback Tom Brady.

The Chargers will likely use their franchise tag on Henry but there is a good chance that Gordon won’t be back. His holdout last year did him no favors and the offense didn’t miss a beat any time Austin Ekeler was on the field in his place.
