Chargers GM Joe Hortiz is entering his third season with the organization, and the free‑agency period is critical. With over $87 million in cap space, the team has the resources to assemble a serious contender after a 3‑0 start in 2025 and two first‑round playoff exits.
Hortiz, who honed his approach over 26 years in the Ravens front office, may stick to his philosophy or adapt to shake up the roster. Whether he will spend aggressively to secure a deep postseason run remains to be seen.
