Joey Bosa, a former standout defensive end for the Los Angeles Chargers, has officially entered free agency after being released, allowing the Chargers to save over $25 million against their salary cap. The five-time Pro Bowler, who has faced injuries in recent seasons, played 14 games in 2024, recording five sacks. Now, Bosa looks to find a new team, and his future options include several intriguing suitors, particularly the San Francisco 49ers where he could reunite with his brother, Nick Bosa.

Joining the 49ers would not only fulfill a personal dream for the Bosa brothers but may also present a lower injury risk for Joey due to San Francisco's strong defensive depth. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions, who struggled in pass rushing after Aidan Hutchinson's injury, and the Chicago Bears, looking to bolster their defense further, are also considering Bosa. Additionally, the Bengals could be interested if they trade Trey Hendrickson, as adding Bosa would allow for a strategic and cost-effective replacement.
