About this episode

The episode discusses Tuli Tuipulotu's contract extension and its implications for the Chargers' salary cap and team management.

Matt "Money" Smith and Lorenzo Neal spend most of the episode on Tuli Tuipulotu's looming extension, breaking down why his agents likely want $40M+ and if the Chargers can manage to swing that. The broader cap picture also gets laid out noting Herbert's cap jump next year and how to manage many other possible extensions. The guys close with OTA takeaways — genuine excitement about Mike McDaniel's offense, concern about edge depth behind Tuli if Khalil Mack fades, and a preview of Lorenzo Neal's Fullback Classic charity golf tournament in Fresno this Friday.
