Joey Bosa, a veteran NFL edge rusher, is currently a free agent after playing for the Buffalo Bills and Chargers. The Tennessee Titans are a possible fit for him, as they need help in their defense and have coaches familiar with Bosa’s style.
Key Facts
Joey Bosa played last season with the Buffalo Bills and eight seasons before that with the Chargers.
In 2025, Bosa had a quieter year with just five total sacks and lower pressure rates in the latter half of the season.
Bosa is considered a valuable “rotational edge rusher,” meaning he would come in and out of the game to help on defense.
Tennessee Titans have plenty of salary cap space ($63.1 million) to sign new players like Bosa.
Coaches Gus Bradley and Robert Saleh, who worked with Bosa and his brother Nick, are now both part of the Titans’ coaching staff.
The Titans made recent moves to improve their defense but still could benefit from adding an experienced player like Bosa.
Adding Bosa could strengthen Tennessee’s chances in their division, the AFC South.
