    Chargers sign edge rusher Bud Dupree to contract extension
    • June 5, 2025

    The Chargers signed Bud Dupree to a two-year contract worth as much as $6 million in May 2024, with the goal of adding experience, leadership and skill to their stable of standout edge rushers.

    The team announced Wednesday it had signed him to a one-year contract extension for identical reasons.

    Dupree’s new deal is reportedly worth up to $6 million for the 2026 season.

    It became all the more important to retain Dupree after the Chargers released veteran edge rusher Joey Bosa earlier this year. Bosa, who had played each of his nine seasons in the NFL with the Chargers dating to his draft year of 2016, signed a one-season contract worth as much as $12.6 million with the Buffalo Bills.

    Dupree, 32, spent six seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, two with the Tennessee Titans and one with the Atlanta Falcons before signing with the Chargers last year. He had six sacks and one interception in 17 games last season, playing a depth role beyond Bosa, Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu.
