Separating from the more general “what would you do?”, here is a non-exhaustive list of thoughts on the current roster.
My operating assumptions: The Chargers are not SB contenders in 2020, likely more than 1 season away from playoff contention, 2-3 seasons from having a stable core of talent (including QB), are not in a total teardown/rebuild, are in a transition period.
What would you do with the current roster and unsigned FAs?
FIRST: Approach to current top money on roster
Data source: www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/cap/
Players under contract (above $1M for 2020):
PLAYER | POS | DEAD CAP | CAP HIT
Melvin Ingram DE ($2,625,000) $16,625,000
> Attempt extension; if not, hold
Russell Okung LT ($2,500,000) $15,531,250
> Restructure or cut
Joey Bosa DE ($0) $14,360,000
> Attempt extension; if improbable, attempt trade
Keenan Allen WR ($1,900,000) $12,650,000
> Attempt extension; if not, hold
Casey Hayward CB ($4,000,000) $10,750,000

Denzel Perryman ILB ($2,025,000) $8,512,500

Tyrod Taylor QB ($2,500,000) $7,500,000
> Restructure or cut
Mike Pouncey C ($2,500,000) $7,250,000
> Depends on health - if cleared and health likely, hold; if not, cut.
Thomas Davis OLB ($2,000,000) $7,250,000
