Cap space, though, becomes a boon for the Chargers next offseason, where they are projected to have roughly $76 million —despite Justin Herbert’s cap hit ballooning to $37 million and before making a decision on the out built into Joey Bosa’s contract that is otherwise a $36 million cap hit.

There was speculation from pundits that a cornerback or wide receiver made sense for the Chargers. Well, the Bolts wide receiver group has turned in some of their best games as group in recent weeks. And with DJ Chark getting activated off Injured Reserve over the weekend, it's likely he makes his Bolts debut in Week 10.

Despite injuries at wide receiver and cornerback, the Chargers decline to make any moves before the NFL's trade deadline passes.
