How I’d Build the Chargers in 2026


Listen Later

With the Super Bowl behind us, it’s officially offseason mode — and in this episode, Taylor steps into the role of Los Angeles Chargers General Manager using the roster-building simulator Stick to the Model to map out a vision for the 2026 season.

We break down how cap space drives every offseason decision, from potential cuts and contract restructures to evaluating free agents and preparing for the draft. With real financial flexibility available, this episode explores how the Chargers can balance star talent with roster depth while staying disciplined in player valuation.

The conversation also dives into the thinking behind simulated trades and signings, why not every big-name free agent is worth the price tag, and how the draft can be leveraged to fill key roster needs. At its core, this episode is about long-term planning — building a sustainable contender instead of chasing short-term fixes.

Episode topics include:

  • Managing cap space and offseason flexibility

  • Simulating GM decisions with Stick to the Model

  • Cuts, restructures, and roster optimization

  • Free agency strategy and player valuation

  • Drafting for team needs and long-term success

If you were running the Chargers, what moves would you make this offseason? Join the conversation and follow along as we look ahead to the future of Chargers football ⚡️
