Overview

  • The Chargers finalized a one-year extension with edge rusher Bud Dupree worth up to $6 million for the 2026 season on June 4, 2025.
  • Dupree delivered six sacks and one interception across 17 games for Los Angeles during the 2024 campaign.
  • Retaining Dupree follows the Chargers’ decision to release Joey Bosa earlier this year, who signed a one-year, $12.6 million deal with the Buffalo Bills.
  • The 32-year-old brings extensive experience from previous stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons.
  • His depth role behind Khalil Mack and rising rookie Tuli Tuipulotu remains a key part of the Chargers’ defensive strategy.
