Chargers release Joey Bosa, boosting salary cap space

The Los Angeles Chargers have released linebacker Joey Bosa, increasing their salary cap space by $25.3 million. This decision ends Bosa's nine-year career with the team, where he recorded 72 sacks. With this move, the Chargers now have $90.6 million in available cap space, ranking third in the league. This positions them well for the upcoming free-agent signing period starting March 12. The focus will likely shift to retaining Khalil Mack, who briefly considered retirement. There are rumors he may return to the Chicago Bears, but the Chargers now have more flexibility to negotiate.
