Chargers release veteran linebacker Joey Bosa after years

yardbarker.com — March 6, 2025 at 04:02 AM UTC

The Los Angeles Chargers have released veteran linebacker Joey Bosa, ending his nearly ten-year tenure with the team. Bosa was the third overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft and won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year that season. Bosa made five Pro Bowl teams but faced injuries in recent years, playing only 28 of 51 games. The release saves the Chargers over $25.3 million against the salary cap ahead of a March 13 deadline. Bosa ranks second in franchise history with 72.0 sacks and first with 87 tackles-for-loss. His future team remains uncertain, but he is expected to have multiple options.
