Chargers sign edge rusher Bud Dupree to contract extension

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.
