Already holding more than $84MM in cap space, the Chargers are prepared to create more soon. They are planning to release **[Mekhi Becton](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BectMe00.htm?utm_medium=linker&utm_source=www.profootballrumors.com&utm_campaign=2026-03-04_pfr)**, [ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports](https://x.com/JFowlerESPN/status/2029190806611931396).
This release is not yet official, potentially as the team holds out hope for a trade, but Fowler indicates Los Angeles will move on from Becton after one season. The Super Bowl-winning guard signed a two-year, $20MM Bolts deal in 2025. This move will create $9.7MM in cap space for the AFC West club.
_More to come._
