space for 2019Although not necessarily news in its own right, the official
numbers for cap rollover have been released by the NFLPA. With the 2018 league
year all but over, each team is given the opportunity to elect how much of their
unused cap space they will carry over into the 2019 season.It is customary for
each team to accept 100% of the cap allocation

would be required to spend 89% of the total cap space. However, that 89%
threshold is spread over a 4-year period, currently ending in 2020. With that
sort of long-term sprucing possible
Joe Barksdale Jerseys Stitched , there is effectively no downside to accepting the rollover. Unfortunately, the Chargers will only have an extra $1M to add to
the 2019 cap. The 2018 salary cap was set at $177.2M, and the next cap could
rise to around $191M if rumors are to be believed. Although they can clear
additional space through cuts and trades

rollover is no surprise. In fact, only two teams in the entire league will have
less rollover than the Chargers will enjoy: The LA Rams ($466K) and the Kansas
City Chiefs ($715K). The Indianapolis Colts lead the NFL with an absurd $110.8
million and the New York Jets are second with $93.8 million. The Brown are
projected to be third in the league with over $82.4 million. These will be the
heavy hitters in free agency

found a reliable kicker this season when they signed rookie Michael Badgley to
take over for Caleb Sturgis, but it appears they aren’t satisfied with
everything Badgley brings to the table.Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the
team is signing Nick Rose with the intention of having Rose handle kickoff
duties against the Patriots in New England on Sunday.Badgley had zero touchbacks
on six kickoffs in Baltimore last weekend and has posted nine touchbacks in 54
kicks over his entire run with the Chargers this season. The 45 kickoff returns
were the most in the league and the Chargers had the lowest touchback percentage
of any team in the league this season.Patriots kickoff returner Cordarrelle
Patterson averaged 28.8 yards per return this season and took one kick back for
a touchdown, so it’s not hard to understand why the Chargers might like to avoid
putting the ball into his hands.Rose finished last season with the Chargers and
had eight touchbacks in nine kickoffs. He has not been in the NFL since being
cut by the Texans at the end of the summer.
