A couple of quotes:
"The Los Angeles Chargers have solved their salary cap woes without having to release any formidable playmakers ahead of the new league year that starts on Wednesday."
" the Bolts restructured the contracts of edge rushers Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack and receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, a league source told ESPN's Field Yates, which created a combined $40.37 million in salary cap space."
"Despite the team's cap compliance, roster moves remain a possibility as the Chargers prepare to fill needs in free agency."

Yeah, it is indeed frustrating every year to see teams with "salary cap woes," solve the problems by reworking contracts and then signing free agents to become stronger. I appreciate the explanations above, but every year I look at teams with salary cap issues and think, "well, they'll suffer now," only to see them magically end up with a lot of cap space and plan to sign free agents.
Oh, and the Bolts still have to sign a long-term deal with Herbert, like the Bengals need to do with Burrow.
And right now they are projected to be 52 million over the cap next year.
