Late Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Chargers made waves by releasing pass-rusher Joey Bosa after a nine-year tenure with the team. While the Chargers were able to save $25.3 million in cap space, now that the five-time Pro Bowler is available, he’s expected to draw a ton of interest in NFL free agency. Yet, unlike players whose contracts have expired like Josh Sweat, since Bosa has already been released, teams can sign him right now.
So, who should go sign Bosa right now? Here are six potential landing spots for the former Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Detroit Lions
The Lions are looking to pair another pass-rusher with Aidan Hutchinson and now that Bosa is available, they have the chance to build one of the most potent edge-rushing tandems in the NFL. Plus, Bosa would be joining a top Super Bowl contender.

Washington Commanders
The Commanders are hunting for impactful upgrades and Bosa, who has four seasons with double-digit sacks, certainly qualifies. He’d immediately become their top pass-rusher and make them less predictable on draft day.

Green Bay Packers
The Packers have invested several Day 1 and Day 2 picks into their front seven, but no one on the team tallied more than 7.5 sacks in 2024. The Packers have plenty of cap space and Bosa would be the type of high-profile addition this team is seeking.
Dallas Cowboys
Would it be weird if Bosa joined one of his brothers’ biggest rivals? Definitely, but would it be fun to see him paired with Micah Parsons? Absolutely. The Cowboys are poised to bounce back from last season’s disaster and Bosa would be widely celebrated in Dallas.

Philadelphia Eagles
If Bosa’s priority is to join a contender, then who better than the reigning Super Bowl champs? Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham are poised for free agency and the Eagles could potentially emerge as winners of the offseason for two years in a row by adding a star talent like Bosa.

San Francisco 49ers
Of all the potential landing spots for Bosa, it’s hard not to consider the 49ers, where his brother, Nick Bosa plays. Players rarely get the chance to play with their siblings, but this may be the only opportunity this star duo ever gets.
