The Chargers are now projected to have around $85.6 million in cap space after the NFL set the 2026 salary cap on Friday.

The 2026 figure has been set at $301.2 million, a tad lower number than the projected total of $303.5 million. The 2025 salary cap was $279.2 million, meaning the cap rose by nearly $22 million in the past year.

The Bolts now have ample money to spend, according to Over the Cap, a site that tracks each team's approximate cap space.

The 2026 NFL New League Year begins at 1 p.m. (PT) on March 11, which also marks the start of free agency. The Chargers have 26 players slated to be free agents next month.
