Chargers’ salary cap space situation entering free agency

Looking at how much the Chargers have in spendings heading into free agency.

The NFL’s legal tampering period opens up on Monday at 1 pm PT, with the new league year and free agency officially beginning on Wednesday.

Up to this point, the Chargers have been active, re-signing wide receiver Mike Williams and kicker Dustin Hopkins and trading for edge defender Khalil Mack.

After starting with the fourth-most salary cap space, Los Angeles has the 13th-most at $20.56 million, according to Over The Cap.

This accounts for Williams’ and Hopkins’ cap hit ($14 million) and $1.92 million, respectively, taking on Mack’s ($17.75 million).

The Bolts can free up some space if they decide to release some of their own, with tackle Bryan Bulaga being a cut-causality candidate. If they choose to let go of him, they will save $10.8 million.

Best remaining free agents for Chargers heading into NFL draft

A look at the best players available at each position of need for the Los Angeles Chargers ahead of the draft.

With that being said, I laid out the best remaining free agents at the positions that I could see head coach Brandon Staley wanting to address.
