Mike Williams

The Chargers' approach to moving or reducing their big four salaries was all about ensuring flexibility this season and in the future.

It started with a silly tweet and became "surreal" for a lifelong Jets fan as Williams and the team played along with his DoorDash delivery.

The Jets wanted a shot at Williams in 2022 but never got their chance when the Chargers extended him. Now he's headed to New York.

Friday's addition of Tyron Smith answered a big question on the offensive line, but Joe Douglas shouldn't be done making deals.

Trading Allen was the most baffling of the Chargers' cap-saving moves. It's a bold one, but isn't that the point of a new regime?

Retaining Khalil Mack on a restructured deal shows the Chargers want to win and not just clear the books of expensive contracts.

Thoughts on who's made the most positive changes this week and how well the Jets could handle an Aaron Rodgers VP run.

The move saves the Chargers $20 million in cap space, according to Over the Cap, and they are cap compliant ahead of the new league year.

The Chargers need to clear more than $28 million in salary-cap space by Wednesday's 1 p.m. Pacific start of the new league year.

As teams look to free up space for new roster additions, notable veterans could be on their way out.

As Jim Harbaugh and Joe Hortiz take over the Chargers, they have cap space to trim, draft picks to use and needs all over the roster.

The Chargers are more than $45 million over the projected salary. Keeping their four aging stars seems untenable.

Linsley’s heart condition has him “99 percent” leaning toward retirement, while Herbert is making progress after finger surgery.

Herbert's broken finger, Linsley's heart issue, Rashawn Slater's ankle injury and Mike Williams' torn ACL are hurting the Chargers.

Williams' season-ending injury means bigger roles for Joshua Palmer and 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston.

Williams left Sunday's game after making an 11-yard reception near the end of the third quarter.

A failed fourth-down attempt could have doomed the Chargers to an 0-3 start, but the defense made plays when they were needed.

"We have … three key offensive linemen out," coach Brandon Staley said. "That's where your depth has to emerge."
