With the contract of Philip Rivers officially off the books, the Los Angeles Chargers are estimated to have around $50-60 million in cap space. The trade for Trai Turner was a savvy move that saved the Chargers some money. In addition, Austin Ekeler was signed to a relatively team-friendly extension at about six million dollars per season.
Even with key extensions for players like Joey Bosa and Keenan Allen coming up soon, the Chargers still figure to be players in free agency. Tom Brady has been rumored for months, and the legal tampering period officially opens next Monday before free agency begins Wednesday.
