Chargers predicted to feel pain from Bills' marquee offseason gain

The Buffalo Bills needed to upgrade their edge rusher rotation this offseason.

Prior to using a third-round draft pick on Arkansas's Landon Jackson, the Bills turned to the free-agent market and secured a five-time Pro Bowl selection who doesn't turn 30 years old until July.

For as much as Joey Bosa can potentially boost Buffalo's pass rush, the Los Angeles Chargers may wind up equally regret letting their former No. 3 overall pick go. In fact, NFL Media analyst Nick Shook suggests that Bosa's absence will prove rather noticeable for the Chargers in 2025.

Shook listed the "player departures that will have biggest impact on their former teams," and Bosa appears amongst the top names.

"I know Bosa was limited to 28 games over the past three seasons due to injuries. Still, removing one half of the Chargers’ fearsome edge-rushing duo takes some of the bite out of the defense. Khalil Mackremains, but the team also lost veteran Morgan Fox. Replacing that production will fall largely on the shoulders of Tuli Tuipulotu, a third-year player who has yet to start more than 11 games in a season. If the Chargers can extract some legitimate production from rookies Kyle Kennard (edge rusher) and Jamaree Caldwell (defensive lineman), that should lessen the blow."
