Khalil Mack

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

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?

Further moves could come to give the Chargers more salary cap space to operate and the team still needs to add a starting center.

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 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.

Mack became the 43rd player since sacks became an official stat in 1982 to reach 100 career sacks.

Coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco have reached the point of no return. They cannot be back next season.

Mack decided to return for Year 10 and has already matched his career high in sacks and is a half-sack away from 100 for his career.

Our predictions for the second half, including two rookies set to break out and Keenan Allen taking back his single-season receiving record.

Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu combined for 6 1/2 sacks, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in the Chargers' win.

Herbert took only one snap from under center after fracturing his left middle finger Sunday, but has two weeks to let it heal.

Despite Khalil Mack's six sacks and a 3-1 turnover advantage, the Chargers had to grind out their win over the Raiders.

Mack, whose previous career-high was five sacks, had four in the first half of Sunday's game.
