Chargers release Joey Bosa, saving $25.36 million

theathletic.com — March 6, 2025 at 05:01 AM UTC

The Los Angeles Chargers released edge rusher Joey Bosa, saving $25.36 million in cap space. Bosa, the team's longest-tenured player, finishes with the second-most sacks in franchise history and five Pro Bowl selections. Bosa, drafted third overall in 2016, faced a cap hit of over $36 million for 2025. After a pay cut last season, the Chargers opted to release him instead of restructuring his contract again. Bosa's performance declined due to injuries, limiting him to 14 sacks over the past three seasons. The Chargers now need to address their edge rusher position, with Khalil Mack also set to become a free agent.
