The Buffalo Bills made a splash signing earlier this offseason, signing Pro Bowl edge rusher Joey Bosa. The Ohio State product has spent his entire career with the Los Angeles Chargers, but now makes the jump to Buffalo as he chases a Super Bowl.

And while the signing of Bosa is low risk, high reward for Buffalo, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report labels Bosa as the Bills' biggest bust candidate of 2025.

"Even if the Buffalo Bills get respectable production out of pass-rusher Joey Bosa, the five-time Pro Bowler could be viewed as a bust," Knox writes. "This is because name recognition largely outweighs production at this point in the 30-year-old's career. Bosa had solid numbers with the Los Angeles Chargers last season (5 sacks, 19 QB pressures), but he's still an aging defender who has appeared in only 28 games over the past three years. Bosa may struggle to live up to his $12.6 million price point in 2025, and those expecting him to be the regular game-wrecker he was early in his career will likely be disappointed."

If Bosa comes up with clutch plays in the postseason that helps the Bills win the Super Bowl, his signing would be more than worth it, even if he doesn't put up huge numbers in the regular season.
