Imagine playing a fantastic season for your team in 2024, but your future remains uncertain. That is exactly what Joey Bosa is going through with the Chargers. The linebacker had an impeccable 2024 season with 17 solo tackles, 5 assists, and 5 sacks. However, the team is hesitant to continue with the Star owing to a lack of production caused by injuries in prior years. Well, that can be a valid cause. But is it possible that the Chargers’ decision to release Joey will benefit him?

Rumors have circulated that if Joey Bosa is released or traded, the 49ers may attempt to sign him. This might be a significant move because it will be the LB’s reunion with his brother Nick Bosa. The Bosa brothers can turn the 49ers defense into a wild wall to pass through. And while we are on this Cheryl Bosa, their mother, was utterly taken aback when she learned of her boys’ getting together in a team. She responded to a post speculating about the reunion with an Instagram story with shocked emoticons.

Cheryl’s story shows how incredible this pairing can be together. The brothers knew each other’s games from top to bottom. And will most likely recognize where to compliment each other and where to provide more support. Basically knowing each other’s strong and weak points. On top of that, they could be one of those famous siblings who played on the same team. Just like Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, Shaquill Griffin and Shaquem Griffin, and many other well-known names. But are the 49ers even  interested in this trade?

Well, there was and still is a lot of doubt, but some rumors point to the team’s desire. Even more than a rumor, a critic Cory Woodroof has claimed, “Two Bosas on the same field? The 49ers need more juice off the edge, and they could look to Nick Bosa’s elder brother as the solution. At this point in his career, Joey Bosa would be a much better complementary rusher opposite a superstar. Putting the Bosa brothers together in Santa Clara could spell problems for the rest of the NFL. This feels like a no-brainer for San Francisco, and Los Angeles could add draft capital and free up some additional cap space.”

Wow, there you go! It appears that the 49ers are serious about capitalizing on this opportunity. But can the Chargers change their minds about this release? Hmm! That is also a possible scenario. So, how will the team benefit from releasing the LB?

Joey Bosa’s release will provide the Chargers with significant capital to move forward with

Joey Bosa had already become a significant star by the time his rookie contract expired in 2020. The Chargers certainly needed to give him some good old money to keep him on their side. At the time, the franchise offered him a five-year extension valued at $135 million. Jeez! Out of this massive amount, Joey Bosa is guaranteed $102 million, and he has nearly earned that amount thus far. The LB makes $7 million in basic salary, but the major issue for the team is his cap hit.

According to certain rumors and reports, Joey Bosa’s cap hit is $26 million. Ouch! This is the money that the Chargers really struggle with. Furthermore, it is also rumored that in addition to Bosa’s inconsistent performance, the organization is looking to trade him to free up cap space. This would allow the team to use the money to sign fresh players in the forthcoming 2025 NFL draft. However, because of the large salary and cap hit, it will be difficult for the Chargers to trade Bosa. Rather than that there is a chance of a release.

On the other side, if the LB is released, the 49ers are ready to sign him. It will be fascinating to see whether Joey Bosa wears red this year or not. Drop your predictions and stay tuned for further updates.
