The Los Angeles Chargers looked no match for the Houston Texans in the wildcard round. After making it to the postseason in the recently concluded season, the franchise would like to let some players go to make more space in the salary cap.
In the 2024 season, Gus Edwards played in 16 games, accumulating 711 rushing yards and 6 touchdowns. While he remained a reliable component of the Ravens' backfield, his production saw a slight decline compared to previous seasons. With a 2025 cap figure of $4.3 million, the Ravens could save $3.1 million by releasing him.
Trey Pipkins III participated in 15 games during the 2024 season, starting all of them. He played 838 offensive snaps, ranking 51st among guards, committed 5 penalties, and allowed 6 sacks. With a 2025 cap hit of $9.3 million, the Chargers could save $6.8 million by releasing him.
In the 2024 season, Joey Bosa appeared in 14 games, starting 9, and recorded 17 solo tackles, 5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. Despite his impactful presence on the defense, his production was below his career averages. With a substantial 2025 cap number of $36.5 million, the Chargers could save $25.4 million by releasing him.
