Dec 15, 2024; Inglewood, California, USA; Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (4) runs the ball against Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Anthony Nelson (98) during the first half at SoFi Stadium.

Tottenville High School football product Gus Edwards' time with the Los Angeles Chargers was shortlived. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Chargers will cut ties with the powerful running back after just one season.

After a Comeback Player of the Year-worthy season, J.K. Dobbins heads to free agency and might not be that easy to retain if he hits the open market. Veteran Gus Edwards has the feel of a cut candidate with one year left on his current contract.

The Chargers have informed running back Gus Edwards they will release him ahead of NFL free agency, which starts next week.
