Chargers have $23.2 million in salary-cap room

The San Diego Chargers have $23.2 million in salary-cap space for 2015, according to the latest report from the NFL Players Association.

On Monday, the NFL set its league-wide salary cap at $143.28 million. The Chargers carried over $1.5 million in unused 2014 cap space to 2015, so the team’s adjusted 2015 salary cap is $119.74 million for the 58 players it currently has under contract.

As of Tuesday, the Chargers have the NFL’s 14th-most cap space -- $23.2 million.

However, that number is fluid as teams around the league tinker with their roster before the new league year and free agency begins on March 10.

Bringing back cornerback Brandon Flowers before free agency begins will be a priority for the Chargers. San Diego general manager Tom Telesco also will target a running back, receiver, interior offensive line and pass-rushers both in the draft and free agency.

Teams can begin negotiating with free agents on Saturday. Players can officially sign with teams on March 10.
