The LA Chargers are going to have more money to spend this offseason as the NFL informed teams on Thursday that the salary-cap floor will be raised from $175 million to $180 million for the 2021 season.

The exact cap number has not yet been pinned down, but this $5 million raise in the cap’s floor is significant, especially for a team like the Chargers who are already in the green.
