The Chargers are focused on transforming into a free-agent destination with a strong front office led by Joe Hortiz and a new practice facility. They are well-positioned with the sixth-most salary cap space, which enhances their ability to attract notable players, especially with key players like Khalil Mack nearing free agency. Coach Jim Harbaugh's success in his first year adds credibility to their recruitment efforts. Hortiz emphasizes maintaining their current competitive roster and continuing their appealing narrative of opportunity for potential signings, building on last year's strategy of attracting prove-it players.
"We'll become a destination, I really believe that," the Chargers general manager said Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine. "It's a great place to live, it's a great place to be and great people working there."
"Last year the pitch was really, hey, we signed a lot of prove-it type guys. Come here, you're going to get an opportunity to compete," Hortiz said. "That's the same pitch this year. But we backed it up. We lived out our words."
