Even if the charges were among the best on the salary ceiling available this last off -season, they were not as aggressive as many thought they would be with their acquisitions.
Los Angeles has re-signed a handful of players, including the Rusher Edge Khalil Mack, and added new faces that will contribute immediately, including the Ballon Najee Harris and goalkeeper Mekhi Becton.

Although they have adopted a more conservative approach, which could change the next offseason, because the bolts should have the most ceiling space in the NFL, with $ 110 million available.
This is why, during the selection of five teams which take place for a great off -season in 2026, Tyler Sullivan de CBS Sports has included the loads.
No team in the NFL has more money to burn the next off -season than the Los Angeles Chargers. According to the CAP projections, they are the only team that must currently have more than $ 100 million in the available space next spring, preparing to make fairly large movements in free will. Before doing so, however, they will have to use part of this capital to address some of their own players, especially the left side of their offensive line. The left tackle Rashawn Slater plays 2025 on his fifth year option and should be a free agent, while the left goalkeeper Zion Johnson is also in the last year of his agreement. Even if they had to keep these two players, Jim Harbaugh will have enough to continue to build around Justin Herbert and shape his list further in his image.
Sullivan highlights the extension of the Rashawn Slater contract, while the Star offensive tackle enters the fifth and last year of his recruit contract. His scheduled annual salary of his next contract could reach $ 30 million, placing it among the highest paid left of the NFL. Nevertheless, it is important that they enclose the blind blocker of Justin Herbert.
Even with the signing of Slater to a long -term agreement, the charges will have a substantial sum of money to spend on external free agents and to build more around Justin Herbert, continuing to put the necessary documents in place to bring the defense to another level.

As for the draft of the NFL 2026, Los Angeles currently has six selections and should not receive compensatory choices, unless transactions are made to acquire others. However, they have both choices on days 1 and 2.
Things are only looking for Jim Harbaugh and Company.
