Chargers release linebacker Joey Bosa after nine seasons

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

The Los Angeles Chargers released linebacker Joey Bosa on Wednesday, ending his nine-season career with the team. This decision was influenced by Bosa's high salary cap number of $36.47 million and his injury history. Bosa, the third overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft, had a five-year extension worth $135 million in 2020. He played 14 games last season but struggled with injuries, recording only five sacks. With Bosa gone, the Chargers will focus on re-signing linebacker Khalil Mack, who is now a free agent. Tuli Tuipulotu, who led the team in sacks last season, is expected to take Bosa's starting position.
