Upcoming Free Agents
WR Vincent Jackson (SD) (Expected/Hopeful Lifer Tag #1)
*If Vincent Jackson is not re-signed by (real life) SD Chargers the "lifer tag" will be inapplicable. In this case, the (No Fun) Chargers will use their second 'franchise tag' on WR Jackson.
WR Dwayne Bowe (KC) (Expected Franchise Tag #1)
DB Thomas DeCoud (ATL) (Expected Franchise Tag #2 - or RESIGN)
K Dan Bailey (DAL) (RESIGN)
LB Travis LaBoy (SD) (WAIVE)
Financial Status & Salary Breakdown
The Chargers have 31/35 players currently rostered under contract for the 2012 season. We will be using our first franchise tag on WR Dwayne Bowe (KC). If WR Vincent Jackson (SD) DOES NOT sign with the (real life) Chargers, then we will be using our second franchise tags on Jackson. However, if Jackson DOES indeed resign with the (real life) Chargers, then the "Lifer Tag" will now be applicable and applied to Jackson. If Jackson returns to the Chargers with the lifer tag, then we will use our second franchise tag on DB Thomas DeCoud (ATL).
Our four off-season re-signings will be WR Bowe, WR Jackson, DB DeCoud, and K Bailey. We do not expect Bowe or Jackson to sign a contract for an AAS of more than $15.0M, and that will serve as the maximum and (temporary) projection for their 2012 salary. We expect DeCoud to make a few million.
Offensive 2012 Salary: $21.45 Million (QB:$6.75, RB:$9.75M, WR:$3.65M, TE:$1.3M, K:$0.0M)
Defensive 2012 Salary: $16.165 Million (DL:$4.84M, LB:$4.27M, DB:$7.055M)
2012 Total Salary: $37.615 Million
2012 Cap Penalty: $0.00
2012 Free Agent Cap Available: $52.385 Million
