Los Angeles Chargers Keenan Allen Trade: Tough Decision Opens Door for Aggressive 10-Player Free Agency Rebuild

This list includes 10 new additions to the roster that fill some of the most desperately needed positions, as well as, resigning four in-house much-needed free agents.

Here are the cap hits of all 14 players as provided by Over The Cap, save for that of DJ Chark, whose contract details have not been released. His one-year deal will be worth, up to $5 million, meaning his cap hit will be significantly less than that.

• Alohi Gilman $3,375,000
• Kristian Fulton $2,885,000
• Will Dissly $2,625,000
• Gus Edwards $2,250,000
• Denzel Perryman $2,175,000
• Poona Ford $1,790,000
• Troy Dye $1,790,000
• Easton Stick $1,292,500
• J.K. Dobbins $1,130,000
• Bradley Bozeman $1,125,000
• Hayden Hurst $1,125,000
• Foster Sarell $985,000
• Cameron Dicker $985,000
• Total: $23,532,500

Even with Chark’s impending cap hit, the Chargers cleared Allen’s cap hit by more than $10 million, which leaves them with $30 million to work with for other additions and to sign their rookie class. The Allen move was certainly a bold and unpopular one, but it has allowed the Chargers to field a more complete team in the long run, with room to bring more players on.
