A torque management system for a drilling operation comprising:

• a rig having a top end and a bottom end;
• a cable having a first cable end connected to the top end and a second cable end connected to the bottom end;
• a power swivel operatively connected with the rig;
• a latch assembly coupled with the power swivel, the latch assembly configured to have the cable engaged and disengaged therefrom, and further comprising:
• a first portion comprising:
• a first roller housing configured with an at least one roller, the first roller housing having a first side with a first latch receptacle and a first wing receptacle, and a second side with a first housing mount;
• a first latch panel pivotably coupled with the first roller housing, the first latch panel configured with a first latch panel latch;
• and
• a first handle pivotably coupled with the first latch panel, the first handle configured with a first handle wing configured to engage and disengage with the first wing receptacle;
• a second portion movably coupled with the first portion,
• wherein when the latch assembly is in a first position, the first portion and the second portion couple together in a manner whereby the cable is maintained therein, and wherein when the latch assembly is in a second position, the first portion and the second portion are decoupled in a manner whereby the cable is able to be removed from the latch assembly.
