Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa played their most games together, while Tuli Tuipulotu led the Chargers with 8.5 sacks

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.

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.

Green would inject some youth into the Chargers’ edge room and is the only edge defender in college football over the past two years who earned 90.0-plus PFF grades as a pass-rusher and a run defender.

The National Football League today announced that Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa has been named to the 2025 Pro Bowl Games. The all-star nod marks Bosa’s fifth career Pro Bowl selection,

Keep in mind, of course, restructures and other cap wizardry could free up cap space while allowing the Chargers to retain both players. But upgrading the offensive line and deepening the pass-rushing rotation are big priorities this offseason as it is. Harbaugh and Co. also need big money free for items like a costly Rashawn Slater extension.
