Chargers expect to cut star pass-rusher Joey Bosa

The Los Angeles Chargers face critical decisions heading into the 2025 offseason, particularly regarding star pass rusher Joey Bosa. Following another injury-plagued season, there is significant speculation that the Chargers may cut Bosa to avoid a $12.36 million roster bonus due in March, which would create substantial salary cap space. Despite his notable performance when healthy, Bosa's frequent injuries and a hefty cap hit of $36.4 million have led analysts to suggest his release is likely. The Chargers also need to address their receiving corps, as they seem unlikely to land Tee Higgins, prompting the search for a star wide receiver through trade. The team is projected to have around $63 million in cap space, giving them the flexibility to make necessary moves to enhance their chances for success next season. Overall, the Chargers aim to fine-tune their roster after a disappointing playoff exit despite a talented lineup.
