I have them under $20m but that was before the Conklin signing -- but did include paying the rookies and saving $10m for inseason costs
thats still pretty good amount of cash

That sounds about right. I wasn't figuring in the rookies and in season costs.

[Fouts2herbert]

I think Conklin is going to be the last free agent signing until after the draft, but it still feels like there is a trade incoming. Chargers are probably somewhere around $30 mil under the cap thus far. They have the room for a trade.

Feelings based on what?

Fantastic! As awesome as last year’s offseason was to watch Hortiz do his thing, this year’s takes the cake already and we haven’t had the draft, UDRFA signings, or post draft free agency…Hortiz is killing it!!!

It is so awesome to watch. Hortiz reminds me of a magician....exhibits great slight of hand! I'm having such a great time and we haven't even drafted yet.

Yeah there is no flash but as I look at the position groups we needed to improve the most I see progress. Specifically the IOL with Becton and James, the WR room with mdub and TE with conklin. While I was sad to see Poona go I'm confident the guys they brought in will do a good job on the DL.

The biggest pure need left IMO is Edge and I hope we get one in the first round. TE, WR, RB and corner can all be improved via the draft through BPA means.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I think Hortiz blew this offseason a little bit.

We're going to have a ton of cap space leftover and I still don't feel confident about any of the weapons on this team. The DL needs to add and we are counting on repeat performances from our 2nd year CBs.

Right now this team needs a player of day 1 or day 2 quality at:

WR, RB, TE, DT, DE

We have 3 picks and we need all of them to hit or be as fortunate with our later round picks as we were last year.

I think the signings we've made have allowed us to not need to use a first round pick on several of those positions, but it doesn't mean the unit is ready to compete.

I'd feel a lot better if this team had signed Adams instead of Williams, Poona instead of Hand, and brought back JK. Chargers would still have money left and would be in a much better place at WR, RB, and DT without being hamstrung too far in the future.

There's also a whole lot that we *don't* know. We can't have a meaningful conversation about the issues you raise until AFTER the draft. Presumably, at least TWO (if not 3) major needs will be addressed convincingly by the time Day 2 of the draft is complete, Then there's Day 3 for the developmental selections that can contribute on special teams while they learn.

Once we know how all that looks? Let the hand wringing begin! lol

He's not worth both a 3rd and 11m salary

Just use the 3rd and the Comp pick 6th to move up to get Loveland

Agree, he was on my FF team last season and was awful. Luckily I picked up Tucker Kraft and benched Pitts.
No thanks to Pitts.

Your take isnt totally unfounded.

Losing Poona with our cap and what he signed for isnt ideal.

I like Mike Williams as much as the next guy, but those celebrating like our X is totally solved are projecting and hoping a fair bit to what Mike will be in 2025.

Hortiz is not wasting money or term which is great, he has filled some holes with some solid guys...but to take the next step and compete with the big boys of the AFC the Chargers need some difference makers not just ok solid guys.

Hopefully we get 2 or 3 impact players in the draft.

LOL anyone who has ever had Kyle Pitts on their fantasy team is over it and wants no part of him on the Chargers or anywhere! I have been down that road a few times. Never again!
