Cheryl Bosa deserves recognition for raising two successful football players. She is now considering the impact of her elder son's high salary on his future with the Joey Bosa49ers, who are dealing with limited finances. ChargersThis situation may affect the younger NFL son, 49ers star Nick Bosa.
Joey Bosa, who could face challenges due to the Chargers' financial restraints.
Cheryl Bosa has suggested an interesting idea: to trade or release Joey Bosa so that he can join the 49ers. She is keen on seeing both Bosa brothers play for the 49ers, as it is uncommon for brothers to be on the same NFL team at the same time.
When the potential for the Bosas to team up emerged on social media, Cheryl expressed her excitement on Instagram: “Oh my God! Make it happen for Mama (bear emoji)”.
The Bosa brothers potentially becoming teammates is a consideration brought up by 49ers writer
Jennifer Lee Chan at NBC Sports Bay Area . During the NFL's free agency period, this idea seemed reasonable. Nick Bosa is the top edge rusher for the 49ers, while Joey Bosa, a four-time Pro Bowler at the same position, is facing a$36.6 million cap hit this year. He has also been dealing with foot injuries over the past two seasons, limiting him to only 14 games, potentially making him a candidate for transfer. Reports indicate that the Chargers are
looking to trade either Bosa or star pass rusher Khalil Mack. Chan stated, “Before the end of the season, I would have said it's impossible for Nick and Joey Bosa to play for the same team. But considering that the Chargers have four players accounting for 57% of their spending, including Joey Bosa, things have changed. He could become a casualty of their cost-cutting measures. They might release him.”
The 49ers may not be able to trade for Joey Bosa, as the Chargers prefer, but if they release him and he becomes a free agent, he would have good reason to join a Super Bowl contender like the 49ers, even without his brother. However, Nick's presence adds to the appeal.
Chan mentioned, “Now, he wants to play for a winning team and enter the playoffs. … The temptation to join the 49ers and accept a reduced salary is significant.”
The 49ers have already made deals with two edge rushers,
potentially affecting plans for the Bosa brothers. The team may still be watching for pass rushers, but they have recently secured agreements with two players who will earn substantial salaries this year.
The 49ers have signed two experienced ends:
Leonard Floyd
from the Bills and Yetur Gross-Matos from the Panthers. Gross-Matos' deal is reportedly worth up to $18 million over two years, while Floyd's contract is said to be for two years and $20 million
, with $12 million guaranteed in the first year, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. With those contracts, the 49ers prepared for , Nick Bosa’s college friend from Ohio State, to leave.That doesn't prevent the 49ers from adding another end—it just means someone won't play as much. Clelin Ferrell and Randy Gregory were also on the team last year. Ferrell left for Washington, and Gregory is now a free agent. Bringing in Joey Bosa is unlikely, but not out of the question. The mother of 49ers star Nick Bosa has an interesting suggestion to enhance the pass rush: Bring in her other NFL son, Joey Bosa., with $12 million guaranteed in the first year, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. With those deals, the 49ers set the stage for Chase Young, Nick Bosa’s college teammate at Ohio State, to exit.
That does not preclude the 49ers from adding another end—only that it would mean someone does not play much. Clelin Ferrell and Randy Gregory both were on the roster last year, too. Ferrell is gone to Washington, and Gregory is a free agent. Adding Joey Bosa is a longshot, but not impossible.
