Chargers' Marcus Maye: UFA after 42-tackle season
Maye (ankle) posted 42 tackles (19 solo) and one interception among his three passes defensed in 15 regular-season appearances split between the Dolphins and Chargers.
Maye played 11 games with Miami before being waived and subsequently claimed by the Chargers. He proceeded to get into four games with LA before suffering a season-ending ankle injury and finishing the season on IR. The veteran safety is an unrestricted free agent, so he'll first need to recover before he can sign with a team in the offseason.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Only 5.0 sacks in 14 games
Bosa finished the 2024 regular season with 5.0 sacks among his 22 tackles (17 solo) in 14 appearances (nine starts).
Bosa's days as a dominant pass rusher appear to be behind him, as he has just 14.0 sacks over the past three regular seasons while being limited to 28 appearances over that span. He tacked on a sack in the playoffs, but that wasn't nearly enough to prevent the Chargers from crashing out with a 32-12 loss to the Texans in the wild-card round. The big-name pass rusher is under contract at a cap hit of $36.47 million for 2025, but the Chargers can get out of the deal with $11.11 million in dead cap space, and LA will likely take that out given Bosa's declining production in recent years after he compiled double-digit sack totals in four of his first six seasons.

Chargers' Morgan Fox: Free agent after 3.5-sack season
Fox had 3.5 sacks among his 27 tackles (19 solo) and added one pass defensed in the 2024 regular season.
Fox dressed for all 17 regular-season games but started only three. He added two tackles (one solo) in the Chargers' wild-card round playoff exit against the Texans. The 30-year-old defensive lineman is set to be an unrestricted free agent after spending the past three seasons with the Chargers.

Chargers' Bud Dupree: Six sacks in 2024
Dupree posted 6.0 sacks among his 28 tackles (18 solo) while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He also had one interception among his pair of passes defensed.
Dupree reached 6.0 sacks for the fifth time and has notched at least 4.0 sacks in nine of 10 NFL regular seasons. He also suited up for the Chargers' 32-12 playoff loss to the Texans in the wild-card round but didn't contribute any meaningful statistics. Dupree remains under contract at a $3.64 million cap hit for his age-32 season in 2025.

Chargers' Teair Tart: UFA after 29-tackle season
Tart finished the 2024 regular season with one sack among his 29 tackles (15 solo). He also had one interception among two passes defensed, forced one fumble and recovered one fumble.
Tart played in all 17 regular-season games and suited up for the Chargers' season-ending 32-12 loss to the Texans in the wild-card round of the playoffs, adding three tackles (two solo). The defensive tackle, who will turn 28 on Feb. 28, is set to be an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Chargers' Junior Colson: Notches 29 tackles in rookie season
Colson finished with 29 tackles (15 solo) and one pass defensed in 11 appearances during the 2024 regular season.
Colson tacked on four tackles (three solo) in the Chargers' wild-card round loss to the Texans in the postseason. The 2024 third-round pick notched only one start in his rookie season, occupying a part-time role at linebacker on defense and contributing on special teams.

Chargers' Cam Hart: Six starts in rookie season
Hart (shoulder) finished the 2024 regular season with 37 tackles (28 solo), including 0.5 sacks, seven pass defenses and one forced fumble across 14 games.
Hart was selected by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 140th overall, three spots after teammate Tarheeb Still. Hart was used mostly on special teams over the first four games of the regular season, but he did start in the six games following the Chargers' Week 5 bye and accumulated 28 tackles (19 solo), including 0.5 sacks, four pass defenses and one forced fumble over that span. Hart and Still could be the Chargers' starting outside cornerbacks for the 2025 campaign if Kristian Fulton opts to take his talents elsewhere in free agency.

Chargers' Otito Ogbonnia: Plays every game in 2024
Ogbonnia played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 37 tackles (14 solo).
Ogbonnia played in just 15 regular-season games between 2022 and 2023 due to injury, but he was able to start in every game in 2024 (including playoffs ) and finished with a career-high 37 combined tackles. The 2022 fifth-round pick will likely be the Chargers' starting nose tackle for the 2025 campaign.

Chargers' Poona Ford: Finishes 2024 with 3.0 sacks
Ford played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 39 tackles (24 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and five pass defenses (including one interception).
Ford signed a one-year, $1.79 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024 after playing for the Bills in 2023. Ford matched a career high in sacks from 2022 as a member of the Seahawks, and he logged his first-career interception in Week 1 against the Raiders. Ford will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent and should garner plenty of interest from teams looking to solidify their defensive fronts for the 2025 campaign.

Chargers' Tuli Tuipulotu: Improved production in second year
Tuipulotu played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 42 tackles (26 solo), including 8.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble.
Tuipulotu's tackling numbers took a slight dip in his sophomore season, but he did log a team-high 8.5 sacks while rotating with fellow edge rushers Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack and Bud Dupree. Tuipulotu would be in line to see an increased role in 2025 if Mack opts to retire or take his talents elsewhere.

Chargers' Alohi Gilman: Registers 50 tackles in 2024
Gilman played 11 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 50 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (including one interception).
Gilman missed five of six regular-season games due to a hamstring injury, which was severe enough for him to be placed on injured reserve in late November. He was activated off IR ahead of the Chargers' regular-season finale against the Raiders, and he played every single defensive snap in the Bolts' wild-card loss against the Texans, finishing with 10 tackles (four solo), one pass defense and one forced fumble. Gilman and Derwin James will likely serve as the Chargers' starting safeties for the 2025 campaign.

Chargers' Kristian Fulton: Records 51 tackles in 2024
Fulton finished the 2024 regular season with 51 tackles (39 solo) and seven pass defenses (including one interception) across 15 games.
Fulton was Tennessee's second-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Titans, but he opted to sign a one-year, $3.13 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024. Fulton started in every game he played, but he could be on his way out of Los Angeles if the Chargers opt to go with rookies Tarheeb Still and Cam Hart (shoulder) as the starting outside corners for the 2025 campaign.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Larger role in second half of 2024
Dye played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 57 tackles (34 solo), including 1.5 sacks.
Dye signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Vikings. He was utilized mainly on special teams over the first half of the year, but he started to see a noticeable increase in defensive snaps in Week 9 against the Browns and was listed as a starter in five of the Chargers' final seven games of the regular season. Dye ended up finishing with career highs in combined tackles, solo tackles and sacks, and as an unrestricted free agent, he should get plenty of interest from linebacker-needy teams during the offseason.

Chargers' Tarheeb Still: Major role in rookie season
Still played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 62 tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, 10 pass defenses (including three interceptions and a pick-six).
Still was selected by the Chargers in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He didn't play in the first three games (one of which was due to a hip injury), but he made his NFL regular-season debut against the Chiefs in Week 4. Not only was he a starter for the Bolts' first-team defense, but he was a designated starter in 12 of the 14 games he played during the regular season. Still's best performance came in Week 13 against the Falcons, when he picked off Kirk Cousins twice, the second of which he returned for a touchdown. With Asante Samuel (shoulder) and Kristian Fulton entering the offseason as unrestricted free agents, Still appears to have the inside track at the starting outside corner role for the 2025 campaign, possibly opposite fellow fifth-round rookie Cam Hart (shoulder).

Chargers' Derwin James: Finishes 2024 with 5.5 sacks
James logged 93 tackles (60 solo), including 5.5 sacks, seven pass defenses (including one interception) and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games in 2024.
James was seven tackles shy from registering his fourth-straight 100-tackle season (and fifth of his NFL career). However, he did manage to register a career-high 5.5 sacks -- two of which came in Week 17 against the Patriots -- which was fourth-most on the Chargers behind Tuli Tuipulotu (8.5), Bud Dupree (6.0) and Khalil Mack (6.0). James will likely start at safety for the 2025 campaign, but it's unclear whether it'll be Elijah Molden (shin), Marcus Maye (ankle) or someone else who will start alongside James.
