The Chargers’ 2022 season is over. After finishing 10-7 in the regular season and losing in the Wild Card round to the Jaguars, their attention shifts to the offseason, where they will look to reconstruct the roster.
Los Angeles will have roughly $10 million over the cap for the 2023 season, the fifth-worst situation in the NFL. This number is before a potential contract extension for quarterback Justin Herbert.
Therefore, L.A. will likely need to cut or restructure the contracts of players on the team to make space for that and any additional free agents.
With that, let’s look at their top 10 cap hits for 2023 (numbers via Spotrac):
