Joey Bosa is now a free agent after being released by the Los Angeles Chargers in a move to clear $25.3 million in salary cap space. The 29-year-old linebacker, a five-time Pro Bowler, has battled injuries recently, missing 23 games since the start of the 2022 season. However, in the last season, he managed to play 14 games and recorded five sacks. As Bosa embarks on this new chapter, speculation about potential landing spots has begun.

The San Francisco 49ers stand out as a prime destination, especially given Bosa's desire to reunite with his brother, Nick. Such a move could lead to Bosa signing at a discount, as family loyalty might outweigh financial incentives. Other teams such as the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears also present viable options, particularly the Lions, who are in need of pass-rushing support after injuries plagued their defense. The Bears, under new coaching leadership, are looking to build a competitive roster quickly.
