2022 Official Chargers Season Discussion

I hope you're right about MW for $14M. Sounds on the light side though. The numbers being thrown around are much higher, with the franchise tag figure being 25% of the $79M total cap space. For me, he's not worth that number. We could get Cedric Wilson and Russell Gage for less than that.

One thing about MW for 14m - thats the cap hit - not the AAV.

$68 million in cap space.
Cut Bulaga = $79 million

M. Williams = $14 million
U. Nwosu = $10 million
K. White = $9 million
J. Jones = $5 million
O. Aboushi = $3 million
J. Guyton = $3 million
D. Hopkins = $3 million
Quessenberry = $2 million
J. Jackson = $2 million
Anderson = $1 million
Overton = $1 million
Parham = $1 million
Long = $1 million

$55 million in re-signing our own FA's. These values are assigned by OverTheCap.com.
$10 million to sign draft class.
$15 million of cap space room to sign FA's during the season.

And you're about out of money.

Long was #32 in the NFL, dead last in net yards last year, and you want to resign him?

I personally do not. There are better options than Long

I think today it will be Araiza or the Georgia punter

Throw in a raise for Ekeler.

[ghost]

is $3.5m/year enough to pry him away from the Browns.... ??

I have very little experience in dealing with RFAs, as must simply don't outplay their 1st contract
as clearly as Johnson had. I think your offer is fair.

Does that include the $10M carry over from this year?

Anyway, those are AAV numbers not cap hits. I agree we don't have as much space as we think, though.

The only guy worth keeping after aboushi on your list is Parham if he wants to keep playing

[Boltnut]

These guys for sure but a kicker for $3 mill? White for $9 mill?

Hey, I don't come up with the market value... blame OverTheCap.

I can't imagine paying MW $20 million. If so, I'd probably spend that money elsewhere (CB?) And then draft a WR in the 1st... rather than a CB.

Free agent is fine, too. I had to fill the spot... and have neither the time nor the interest in researching punters. :Cheers1:

Popper seems convinced that the team will tag MW. I can’t fathom why. We know what kind of a player he is - either let him walk or sign him long term.

The blue line graph is a tracking of his actual production value for last year. Click on the "valuation" tab. Structure it any strange way you'd like (front load/back load)... but they say his average value play was @$12.5 million.
