The Los Angeles Chargers are open to trade offers for edge rushers Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, and other veterans, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic.

Mack ($38.5 million) and Bosa ($36.6 million) are scheduled to have the highest cap hits on the team next season, according to Spotrac. Los Angeles is $20.5 million over the cap. Teams must be cap compliant when the new league year opens Wednesday.

Bosa has dealt with multiple injuries in recent years. He played only 14 games over the last two seasons, totaling nine sacks. The Chargers acquired Mack and a sixth-round pick from the Chicago Bears in 2022 for a second-round selection that turned into safety Jaquan Brisker.

The 33-year-old Mack has played all 34 games for the Chargers over the last two seasons, totaling 124 tackles and 25 sacks.

In December, Los Angeles fired general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Brandon Staley. The club hired Joe Hortiz and Jim Harbaugh to replace the duo. The Chargers last won a playoff game in 2018.
