The Chargers are creating some salary cap space this year and pushing some salary cap hits to the future.

Both Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack restructured their contracts, creating a total of $25.99 million in cap space for the Chargers, according to Field Yates of ESPN.

Mack now has a $16.6 million cap hit and Bosa a $15.8 million cap hit for this season. Those are affordable numbers for high-quality pass rushers.

But as is always the case with contract restructurings that create short-term cap relief, next year things get dicey: Mack’s cap hit for 2024 is $38.5 million and Bosa’s is $36.6 million.

  2. So in the past few days the Bolts have restructured Mack, Bosa, Allen and Williams. That bill is gonna come due….

  3. Just brutal cap management. When Heberet comes due after this season, they’re in a whole boatload of trouble with their overrated edge rushers and more.

  4. Edge rushers will soon be treated like running backs … Draft a couple every year and let them walk when they want big money.

  5. Just going to make things worse in the future, they’re going to have to heavily backload Herbert and it’s going to destroy their cap in his primenyears

  6. Yea, nice, but your defense still stinks especially with Staley calling the plays. But let’s fire the OC instead.

  7. looking more and more loke the cap is really just a myth considering teams can just do this year after year. keep kicking the can. raising prices on everything nfl every year just makes it all possible. we (the fans) have been the fool all along.

  8. Biggest mistake Herbert can make is to resign with this team. Go to a team that wants to win. Save your career!

  9. Bosa, Mack, Williams, and Allen are set to eat 142M in cap space next year, and they have to pay Herbert. Good luck.

    Please get to college. Rams won 5 games last year and a supposedly loaded Bucs team won only 8 with Brady.

    No one is claiming you can’t kick the can. It’s reckless and dumb to do so.

    Go ask Buffalo how they’re looking. Or Philly.

  11. The Chargers window in slamming shut soon and the verdict is still out on the QB. Every writer wants to put him in the HoF. His play is middle of the pack at times and he is gonna break the bank on this upcoming contract. The stats are there, the week to week play isn’t.

  14. Their combined cap figure in 2024 is $75 million?! Wow! The Chargers have the worst run organization in football.

  15. This looks like an all in scenario for next season for the Chargers! If it works it will be considered a brilliant move…..fail and heads are gonna roll !
