Joseph-Day is changing teams but not locales after spending the first three seasons of his career with the Los Angeles Rams, helping them to Super Bowl LVI.
Due to injuries, the Rutgers alum was limited to just seven games in 2021. Still, Joseph-Day set a career benchmark with 3.0 sacks, adding 38 combined tackles.
The Chargers will have a vaunted pass rush this season. Joey Bosa could single-handedly disrupt the passing game. Now, he’s joined by Joseph-Day and Khalil Mack, the latter of whom was acquired via trade from the Chicago Bears last week.
AFC West matchups will be appointment television this season. The Chargers enter the season with an outside shot at the division crown, currently listed at +280 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
