Joe Hortiz knew he was going to be in for a rough first two months as the Los Angeles Chargers' general manager. Considering the salary cap situation he inherited, Hortiz is hoping that doesn’t repeat itself. The Chargers were nearly $30 million over the cap and had four players taking up nearly 40% of their cap room.
Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz speaks during a press conference at the NFL football scouting combine in Indianapolis, Tuesday, Feb. 27, 2024. COSTA MESA, Calif. — Joe Hortiz knew he was going to be in for a rough first two months as general manager of the Los Angeles Chargers.“I don’t ever want to be in a situation like we were this year where you’re having to make hard decisions ,” Hortiz said on Thursday as he addressed moves made during the first week of free agency.
Hortiz said he approached Allen’s side with many options, including a contract extension, but was not able to reach an agreement. Allen was traded to the Bears for a fourth-round pick, ending his 11-season tenure with the club that drafted him in the third round in 2013.
Hortiz also noted that there will continue to be opportunities to add another veteran wide receiver either before or after the draft. The Chargers also have the fifth overall selection in next month’s draft, which should put them in position to possibly add one of the top receivers.
