TB still has a couple of weeks and enough players they can cut to clear the cap space. I don't see him getting anywhere near FA. We can't afford him anyway, not if we want to resign any of our own FA (and draft picks).

I understand where you are coming from about draft capital. JUst at the stage, where we are at, trying to take a good team over the top, I am not sure we can afford to just hoard draft picks. First, we are going to cut a bunch of good players come draft cut downs. It's going to happen because we just can't afford to keep them. If it is a matter of having a little less competition at RB or secondary with a late-round pick, to trade up a bit to improve a quality pick, then I think we should do it for the right guys. Like Blue keeps pointing out, we are looking for productive players NOW.
The chargers really do get "extra" player capital from college and street FA.
The Ourlads depth chart shows a lot of SF and CF in the list of names. Those are street FA and college FA, and even the top of the chart (left side) is full of CF (college Free agents).
