The Los Angeles Chargers have informed running back Gus Edwards of his release, saving the team $3.125 million against the cap. Signed on a two-year deal after a breakout season with the Ravens, expectations were high for Edwards. However, during the 2024 season, he failed to perform, finishing with a career-low 365 rushing yards. A shift in workload dynamics led to Edwards taking on a backup role, which further worsened the Chargers' rushing offense, particularly when starter J.K. Dobbins was sidelined due to injury.
The Chargers' decision to release Gus Edwards comes as a cost-saving measure, trimming $3.125 million off their cap while reflecting on his disappointing performance since joining.
Despite initial hopes for Gus Edwards to boost their running game, his ineffective play led to a demotion and ultimately, the Chargers have decided to move on.
