The Los Angeles Chargers are one of the quietest teams in the NFL right now. Not that Chargers fans would complain about the relaxing offseason process – there is zero coaching drama to speak of, plenty of cap space and a great free agency and draft outlook with plenty of assets to spend on rebuilding an ahead-of-schedule roster.
Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa played their most games together, while Tuli Tuipulotu led the Chargers with 8.5 sacks
The Los Angeles Chargers got what could be considered good news this week when it went public that Khalil Mack intends to stave off retirement and keep playing . That could spur a Mack return to the Chargers despite his scheduled trip to free agency soon. It could also mean the end of the Joey Bosa era for the Chargers.
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.
Now, a report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler confirms the Chargers have and will discuss an extension.
Bosa and Mack teamed to help the Chargers become the NFL’s stingiest defense in 2024, giving up an average of only 17.7 points.
The Los Angeles Chargers have a tough call to make with edge rusher Khalil Mack this offseason. On one hand, it seems obvious – give one of the heart and souls of the team a big contract extension and consider cutting Joey Bosa to balance the scales.
