The Chargers were far more aggressive compared to previous offseasons, inking four players from the free agency pool and trading for one.
Starting the new league year with nearly $55 million in salary cap space, Los Angeles is now down to just slightly north of $21 million, marking the ninth-largest figure in the NFL, according to Over The Cap.
Considering L.A. still ranks among the top-10 in salary cap space after the slew of acquisitions that they made just goes to show how much of a bargain the deals were for the players that they acquired.
Telesco made the necessary moves to free up even more some cap space by releasing a few former in-house players.
With $21 million remaining, the Chargers could choose to retain some of their own that remained unsigned or look to sign someone like offensive tackle Jason Peters to a short-term deal.
When factoring the money needed for their upcoming draft picks and the money that will be rolled over into the 2020 season and 2021 offseason, it’s unlikely that they will make a big move.
