The Los Angeles Chargers are heading into the offseason with a substantial $66.8 million in cap space, positioning them for potential free agency moves, including a possible pursuit of wide receiver Tee Higgins. However, this financial flexibility comes with challenges, as the Chargers face a significant number of their own free agents. Key players such as running back J.K. Dobbins and receiver Joshua Palmer are set to hit the market, alongside notable defensive figures like Khalil Mack and Asante Samuel Jr.

While the Chargers have the funds to make significant acquisitions, their priorities may shift towards retaining their own talent. The looming possibility of a mass departure in the secondary raises concerns, as does Mack's contemplation of retirement. This scenario complicates general manager Joe Hortiz's task of enhancing the roster, as he must balance re-signing existing players with the need for improvements, particularly on offense and defense.
