Joey Bosa is a free agent after he was released by the Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday -- a transaction that will save the team $25.36 million against the salary cap. The 29-year-old outside linebacker is coming off the fifth Pro Bowl season of his nine-year career, all spent with the Chargers. He would have been due a $12.36 million bonus if he remained on the team's roster on March 12. Bosa racked up 72 sacks for the Chargers, the second-best total in franchise history. Leslie O'Neal, who played for the club from 1986-95, had 105.5 sacks. The then-San Diego Chargers drafted Bosa out of Ohio State with the third overall pick in the 2016 draft, and he was an immediate star.
