Chargers Consider Releasing Joey Bosa for Cap Space

The Los Angeles Chargers are contemplating releasing star pass rusher Joey Bosa to save $25 million in cap space, despite having $65 million available already. This move is driven by Bosa's recent injury history and reduced performance, making his $36 million cap hit for 2025 challenging. There is speculation that if released, Bosa could join his brother Nick Bosa at the San Francisco 49ers, a scenario that excites their mother Cheryl Bosa. While a trade to the 49ers is possible, the team might hesitate due to Bosa's high salary and existing financial constraints. The Las Vegas Raiders are another potential landing spot, offering Bosa a chance for revenge against the Chargers. Ultimately, releasing Bosa could benefit both parties, allowing the Chargers to reallocate resources and Bosa to join a contender.
