What the Russell Okung-Trai Turner trade means for the Chargers salary cap

It’s official: Tom Telesco is willing to try something different this year.

It would be the first trade by the LA Chargers since October 26, 2017, when Telesco dealt Dontrelle Inman to the Chicago Bears for a conditional draft pick that did not convey.
