There are a handful of Chargers players that the team will have to determine whether or not they will be back in Los Angeles next season.
Among the crop is edge defender Joey Bosa. Bosa has a cap hit of more than $36 million in 2025, according to Over The Cap. That’s a good chunk of money for someone who hasn’t quite proven their worth.
When asked about Bosa’s cap hit and future with the team, general manager Joe Hortiz said, “Those are the things we’re discussing right now.” Hortiz added that it is “possible” they keep him on his current cap hit.
There’s no denying the talent, but Bosa has struggled to stay on the field consistently over the past few seasons. And he has also yet to reach double-digit sacks since 2021, the last time he was named a Pro Bowler.
The Chargers can save over $25 million in cap space by cutting Bosa.
Bosa’s partner in the edge defender room, Khalil Mack, is considering retirement and will decide his future after discussing it with his family.
If Bosa and Mack are not members of the Chargers next season, addressing the position group will be a high priority this offseason.
