The one-year extension through the 2026 season became all the more important after the Chargers released veteran edge rusher Joey Bosa earlier this year.

In order to make a deep playoff run in 2025, the Chargers will need contributions up and down their lineup. Dupree should provide that, along with being a valued veteran leader on the defensive side of the ball.

Running back J.K. Dobbins is set to take a visit with one of the Chargers ' division rivals, as he will travel to Denver to meet with the Broncos to have dinner with the coaches and visit the facility, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero.

He missed four games midseason with a knee sprain, but finished with 905 yards and nine touchdowns on 195 carries in 2024.

The Denver Broncos were one of the biggest surprises in 2024. The team managed a playoff berth under rookie quarterback Bo Nix. Denver is a young and dynamic squad that boasts multiple stars like Quinn Meinerz, Nix, Courtland Sutton, Pat Surtain II, and more. However, one of the team's biggest areas of improvement is the run game.
