In this story:

The apparent obviousness of the Los Angeles Chargers moving on from Joey Bosa this offseason has led to endless speculation about his possibly joining the San Francisco 49ers and brother Nick Bosa.

So much so that even Cheryl Bosa has weighed in on the topic, hyping an edited image that shows the brothers together on the 49ers.

A Bosa tandem on the 49ers could end up happening either via the Chargers cutting Joey or outright trading him. One trade idea with the 49ers has already surfaced.

The problem with a trade, though, is Bosa’s massive contract, which makes it obvious that the Chargers could move on, letting him slip to free agency without a trade and on a much more affordable new deal.

Either way, the Chargers save roughly $25 million if they move on and that’s money on top of roughly $65 million in free cap space that they could shift to re-signing Khalil Mack.

For Bosa, either via trade or open market, landing on a contender would likely be ideal as he gets ready to turn 30 in July. He’s already admitted that he only has so many seasons left.

And while he took a while to get healthy and going in 2024, he was largely effective once in gear. Sticking on the West Coast and joining his brother? It’s not hard to see why that might have some appeal.
