Source: Bills, Joey Bosa agree on 1-year, $12.6 million deal

Five-time Pro-Bowl defensive end Joey Bosa reached agreement Tuesday night on a one-year, $12.6 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter

The Chargers released the 29-year-old Bosa on March 5, cutting ties with their longest-tenured player and one of the best in franchise history.

They selected him with the No. 3 pick in the 2016 draft, and he made an immediate impact. He was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year that season, posting 10.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss. He made four Pro Bowls in his first six seasons and set an NFL record by recording 19 sacks in his first 20 games.
