NEEDS: After 9-3 finish to season, Chargers believe they’re few pieces away from contending. Offensive line wasn’t outstanding, and top-notch right tackle
would be welcome bookend for Russell Okung. Re-signing safety Tre Boston or
finding his replacement is important. Clemens could be replaced by more viable
backup to Philip Rivers. Linebacker depth is significant need. GM Tom Telesco
said he wants to find established veteran kicker after last season’s struggles
likely cost Bolts playoff spot. And they must decide whether to give another
season to Gates, who will be 38.
AVAILABLE SALARY CAP SPACE (approximately): $22 million.
