LOS ANGELES -- For two seasons, outside linebacker Joey Bosa often spoke as if he knew his time with the Chargers could be coming to an end.
It appeared that way at the end of the 2023 season when Bosa played in nine games -- after dealing with foot, hamstring and toe injuries -- and had a cap hit of upwards of $30 million. He even told then-rookie teammate Tuli Tuipulotu at the end of that season they might have played their final game together.
But in a surprise to some, Bosa was back in 2024.
