Free-agent linebacker Troy Dye is signing back with the Los Angeles Chargers on a two-year deal worth up to $8.5 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 28-year-old was originally a fourth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings out of Oregon and spent the first four seasons of his career there before one season with the Chargers. Last year, he racked up 57 tackles (34 solo), 1.5 sacks, and two run stuffs in 17 games (five starts). Dye will continue to provide depth for the Los Angeles defensive led by up-and-coming defensive coordinator Jesse Minter in 2025.

The Los Angeles Chargers are re-signing free-agent center Bradley Bozeman to a two-year deal worth up to $12 million, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The former Ravens first-round pick out of Alabama in 2018 has played in 113 games with 94 career starts between his time with the Ravens, Panthers, and Chargers. He logged 17 starts at center last year for L.A. and is back with the team for the 2025 campaign. The 30-year-old will be tasked with protecting franchise quarterback
Justin Herbert and paving running lanes for new Chargers ball carrier
Najee Harris.

The Buffalo Bills have agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver
Joshua Palmer, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The former Los Angeles Chargers wideout is expected to sign a three-year, $36 million contract with the Bills when the new league year begins on March 12. Palmer was a third-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Tennessee and has collected 182 receptions for 2,287 yards and 10 touchdowns in 59 career games. Palmer's counting stats aren't all that impressive, but he's been a solid receiving option for
Justin Herbert during his four-year NFL career. Palmer could be a significant fantasy football riser playing alongside
Josh Allen with limited target competition in Buffalo.

Former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, fully guaranteed $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. After the Chargers released pass-rusher Joey Bosa last week, it was imperative that the Chargers retain linebacker Mack after he decided in the offseason that he would be returning for another season. The 34-year-old veteran, three-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler wasn't quite as good as he was in 2024 as he was in 2023 when he had a career-best 17 sacks, but he was still productive. Mack finished with 39 tackles (20 solo), six sacks, six tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. Mack will still be relevant in IDP fantasy leagues in what will likely be his final season, but the absence of Bosa will probably mean more double-teams.

The Los Angeles Chargers have informed veteran running back
Gus Edwards that he will be released in the coming days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Edwards appeared in just 11 games in 2024, his only season with the Chargers, rushing for 365 yards and four touchdowns on 101 carries. With Edwards now a free-agent, the Chargers could have an entirely revamped backfield in 2025 with
J.K. Dobbins also an unrestricted free-agent. There is a good chance the Chargers target a running back in the 2025 NFL draft in what is shaping up as a loaded class at the position. Edwards will now look to latch on with another team as an early-down and short-yardage grinder.

The Los Angeles Chargers announced on Wednesday that they have released five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Joey Bosa. The Chargers decided Bosa's $36.47 million salary cap hit in 2025 wasn't justified for a declining pass-rusher that played in only 28 games over the last three seasons due to various injuries. By releasing him, the Bolts will only take on $11.11 in dead money. The 29-year-old former third overall selection in 2016 out of Ohio State played in 14 games (nine starts) in 2024 and finished with just 22 tackles (17 solo), five sacks, five tackles for loss, 13 QB hits and two forced fumbles. He hasn't had a double-digit-sack season since 2021. Bosa will have a market in free agency, but fantasy managers in IDP formats should be passing in 2025 given his inability to stay on the field regularly in recent seasons.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
DK Metcalf officially requested a trade on Wednesday, and the Los Angeles Chargers could be a team to watch, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The Chargers were the one team that quietly but aggressively pursued Metcalf in trade talks, only to be rebuffed by Seattle. But that was before Metcalf actually requested a trade, and the Bolts remain in the receiver market this offseason. The Green Bay Packers are another team to watch closely as teams angle to trade for the 27-year-old wideout, especially since
Christian Watson (knee) is expected to miss at least half of the 2025 season. By Metcalf's standards, his 66-992-5 line last year was a disappointment as he took a back seat to
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Metcalf would be more attractive from a fantasy perspective in Green Bay, but either way, he'd be the unquestioned No. 1 wideout, which wasn't the case in Seattle in 2024.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper suggests that Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa could be a salary cap casualty this offseason for several reasons. The Chargers do have the sixth-most salary cap space in the league, but even with all that space, keeping Bosa at his $36.47 million cap hit (highest in the league for an edge rusher) in 2025 doesn't make much sense. If they were to cut Bosa, they'd save $25.36 million. Due to injuries, the 29-year-old has played in only 28 of a possible 51 regular-season games in the last three years. He has 14 combined sacks in that span. Bosa's production and availability just have not matched that price tag. He doesn't appear to be the dominant pass-rusher he once was and recorded only 22 tackles (17 solo) and five sacks in 14 games (nine starts) for the Bolts in 2024. Injuries have definitely taken their toll.

The Los Angeles Chargers agreed to a three-year contract extension with safety Elijah Molden (leg) on Thursday, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. In his first year with the Chargers in 2024, Molden played in 15 games (12 starts) before suffering a fractured fibula on Dec. 28 in the win over the New England Patriots. In his 15 starts, the 26-year-old defensive back had a career-high 75 tackles (43 solo), a career-high three interceptions, seven pass breakups and two fumble recoveries for the Bolts. The former third-round selection (100th overall) by the Tennessee Titans in 2021 out of the University of Washington will now continue his career in L.A. and be a staple of their secondary under head coach Jim Harbaugh. In his three years in Tennessee, Molden had 140 tackles (94 solo), two picks returned for TDs, eight pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries (one returned for a TD).

The NFL announced on Wednesday that the Los Angeles Chargers have been selected as the NFL's designated team for the second-ever regular-season game in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as part of the international game slate for the 2025 season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Chargers' opponent on Friday, Sept. 5, will be announced at a later date. It's L.A.'s first international contest since they hosted the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Mexico City in 2019, losing 24-19. The Chargers have also played two games at London's Wembley Stadium against the Tennessee Titans in 2018 and New Orleans Saints in 2008. The NFL's first game in Brazil featured the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Green Bay Packers by a score of 34-29 at Brazil's Arena Corinthians in Week 1 of last season.

Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Khalil Mack has announced he will play at least one more season after retirement rumors following the 2024 campaign, but the former fifth overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. However, Daniel Popper of The Athletic believes the Chargers are "in the driver's seat" to keep Mack in the organization as he tests free agency. The 33-year-old collected 17 sacks in 2023 before a six-sack season in 2024, but he is still a disruptive player, and the organization might not be far away from Super Bowl contention after making the playoff in the first year with head coach Jim Harbaugh at the helm. Contending teams will likely be interested in Mack's services, but it sounds like L.A. will be among the potential suitors.
