Dupree will add to an already formidable Chargers pass rush that also includes Joey Bosa (foot), Khalil Mack and Tuli Tuipulotu.

Falcons' Bud Dupree: Gets back on track in 2023
Bud Dupree finished 2023 with 39 tackles (17 solo), 6.5 sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles in 16 appearances.After back-to-back down years in Tennessee, Dupree signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Atlanta Falcons last offseason. The 2015 first-round pick did just that, playing in his most games since 2019 while recording his most sacks and forced fumbles since 2020 -- his final year with Pittsburgh. The veteran pass rusher will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's mutual interest in a return given the bounce-back campaign Dupree had in 2023.

Falcons' Bud Dupree: Healthy after injury-plagued 2022
Bud Dupree said Tuesday that he's 100 percent recovered from a torn pectoral muscle he suffered late in the 2022 campaign, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.Dupree also dealt with a pair of hip flexor injuries earlier in the season and appeared in just 11 total games for a third straight campaign. In his last healthy season (2019), the 2015 first-round pick recorded career highs in sacks (11.5) and forced fumbles (four). If Dupree can come anywhere close to that production in 2023, his one-year, $5 million deal will be a steal for the Atlanta Falcons.
