Joey Bosa is a free agent this offseason, after playing the 2025 season with the Buffalo Bills. However, his mother, Cheryl, has hinted that the defensive lineman could join the San Francisco 49ers to play alongside his younger brother, Nick.

Amid such a need, ESPN's Bill Barnwell linked the 49ers to Buffalo Bills free agent Pro Bowl edge rusher, Joey Bosa, as an "obvious" fit. Bosa could link up with Nick Bosa and form a fun brother pass-rushing duo next season if this deal happens.

The Baltimore Ravens are considered a name to watch as one of the bigger remaining free agents sifts through offers.

While the Bills have taken swings at both Bosa last year and Von Miller in 2022 in the hopes of shoring up their pass rush, one analyst believes they will turn to the NFL Draft this year. Trevor Sikkema from Pro Football Focus published a mock draft earlier this year that predicted the Bills would land Texas Tech pass rusher Romello Height.

ESPN ranks Bosa as its sixth-best remaining free agent -- and the best defensive player on that list. Bosa's injury history may have knocked down his value last offseason, and it could do so again here, although he's been pretty solidly available the last two seasons.

We're about a week into free agency, and while boatloads of players have already signed boatloads of deals worth boatloads of money (including over $2 billion on Monday alone), there are still quite a few notable players who have yet to land work in 2026.

The San Francisco 49ers are strongly linked to signing veteran defensive end Joey Bosa. He may play alongside his younger brother, Nick Bosa, who is also a defensive end. While Joey’s experience and talent are undeniable,
