Prior to the 2024 season, the Chargers managed to retain both Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa who each chose to take a pay cut to stat together under first-year defensive coordinator Jesse Minter. The decision has firmly paid off as both have played roles in helping the Chargers to the number one scoring defense in the NFL.
Obviously Bosa hasn’t played nearly as much as Mack due to lingering injuries, but he’s nonetheless been an impact player when healthy enough to see the field. Still, Bosa’s availability is likely expediting his remaining time with the franchise.
