Chargers release edge rusher Joey Bosa after nine seasons
The Los Angeles Chargers released edge rusher Joey Bosa on Wednesday, ending his nine-year career with the team. This decision was influenced by his high salary cap number and ongoing injury issues. Bosa had a cap hit of $36.47 million for the 2025 season. His release will save the Chargers $25.36 million in cap space. Drafted third overall in 2016, Bosa was the last player from the Chargers' San Diego era. He recorded 72 sacks during his career, ranking second in franchise history.
