Will this Joey Bosa rumor come true?<\/p>\n

\n
\"Chargers<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

With a contract set to expire at the end of 2025, Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa could be a potential roster cut in the 2025 offseason. If the Chargers move on from Bosa, they’d save roughly $25.36 million, per Spotrac. And in a rumor started on social media, the San Francisco 49ers were named as a possible landing spot, pairing Nick Bosa with his brother Joey.<\/p>\n

\u201cLos Angeles Chargers Joey Bosa could be a salary cap casualty, saving the team $25.3M in cap space. The 49ers are expected to be a strong match in FREE AGENCY with form coach Gus Bradley and brother Nick Bosa.\u201d<\/p>\n

And once this rumor hit social media, fans ran with the idea.<\/p>\n

Now, it would be pretty fun to watch the Bosa brothers playing together, and there’s a stronger likelihood that the Chagers’ defensive end would take a pay cut and sign a short-term deal with the 49ers.<\/p>\n

After inking a two-year, $40.36 million contract with the Chargers in March 2024, Bosa restructured his contract. This move pushed money to the future while giving Los Angeles a potential out of his contract in 2025 \u2014 this offseason.<\/p>\n

And since Bosa hasn’t played an entire season since the NFL expanded to a 17-game regular season in 2022, they could be willing to move on from him before the start of the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n

After going the distance in 2021 \u2014 the NFL’s final 16-game season \u2014 injuries have derailed nearly every year following.<\/p>\n

2022:<\/strong> 5 games, 4 starts
\n2023:<\/strong> 9 games, 5 starts
\n2024:<\/strong> 14 games, 9 starts<\/p>\n

Even in those incomplete seasons, Bosa is still productive, making it quite the dilemma for the Chargers.<\/p>\n

Along with Bosa’s expiring contract, Khalil Mack is set to become a free agent, leaving LA without a key piece of their defense over the last few seasons.<\/p>\n

And if the Chargers want to have a new cast rushing the passer in 2025, Bosa could be another cut for them to make, giving them more money to address other areas of their team in free agency.<\/p>\n

Now, while this is purely skeptical based on a rumor started on social media, fans ran with it.<\/p>\n

As fans do on social media, fans had their fun imagining Joey and Nick Bosa playing together on the 49ers.<\/p>\n
