Chargers GM Hortiz Eyes $87M Cap Space in Free Agency

Chargers GM Joe Hortiz, in his third season, has $87 million in cap space to address last year’s first‑round playoff exits.

Hortiz, who joined the Chargers in 2024, has guided the team to a 3‑0 start in 2025 but the franchise still lacks a playoff win. With the second‑most effective cap space in the league, the GM has the budget to make bold moves.

Analysts note that Hortiz’s 26‑year Ravens experience may influence his approach, but he could also adapt to the Chargers’ needs. Whether he will spend aggressively to build a deep postseason roster remains to be seen.
