Report: Bosa revises deal to remain with Chargers
Star pass-rusher Joey Bosa restructured his contract to remain with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The 28-year-old Bosa joins fellow defensive end Khalil Mack in revising their deals to stay in L.A.
The four-time Pro Bowler had two years remaining on a five-year, $135-million extension he signed in 2020. Bosa was set to account for a $36.6-million cap number in 2024 prior to reworking his deal, per Over The Cap.
He was sidelined by injuries for significant parts of the last two seasons, missing 12 games in 2022 and eight games in 2023.
The former Ohio State standout recorded 20 tackles, 6.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, and eight QB hits in nine games during his 2023 campaign.
Entering his ninth year in the league, Bosa is two years removed from a Pro Bowl campaign in which he racked up 10.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles. When healthy, the 6-foot-5, 280-pound edge rusher has proven to be a disruptive force. He tallied 40 sacks over his first four pro seasons.
The Chargers released wide receiver Mike Williams on Wednesday in a move to get under the salary cap ahead of the new league year. Bosa, Mack, and Keenan Allen, who account for the team's highest cap hits in 2024, were also considered possible candidates to be released or traded ahead of free agency.
