When the Chargers traded for Khalil Mack, part of the reason they got him for just a second and a future sixth-round pick is that they were going to take on the entirety of his remaining contract. At first glance, the contract did a number on the Chargers’ remaining cap space for this offseason. However, knowing how just how much the cap can be manipulated in the short term, it was expected that the Chargers would move some numbers around and hopefully gain some extra spending power to truly capitalize on their prime opportunity to win this upcoming season.
