The Chargers, who are strapped for cash going into this offseason, got great news when the official NFL salary cap was released.
The 2024 cap is set at $255.4 million, an increase of $30.6 million from this past season ($224.8 million).
With the official number locked in, Los Angeles is $22.1 million over the salary cap.
The 2024 NFL New League Year begins at 1 p.m. PT on March 13. All NFL teams must be under the salary cap by then.
Los Angeles can get accomplish that by making moves, such as trading/cutting Joey Bosa ($14 million), Khalil Mack ($23 million), Mike Williams ($20 million), Keenan Allen ($23.1 million) and cutting Eric Kendricks ($6.5 million).
Additionally, they will get some relief if Corey Linsley retires after June 1st.
