In 2023, the Chargers finished 5-12 and are hitting a rebuild this offseason. The team parted ways with their head coach and general manager. Now, Jim Harbaugh is their head coach, and Joe Hortiz is the GM. With the fifth pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the team is set up to get a potential game-changer.
Unfortunately, Los Angeles was left in a terrible situation cap-wise. They’ve done what they can to get out of the negative but still find themselves $21 million over the cap in 2024.

To get out of negative cap space, cutting one of those players is a route the team could take. However, they’ll likely try and trade one of them before a straight-up release.
Sources say that veteran WR Keenan Allen is a “long shot” to be traded this offseason. Chances are he is still with the team next season. That leaves Williams, Mack, and Bosa as potential trade or cut candidates. In 2023, Mike Williams played…
