Overview
- The 49ers GM, who said Sunday at the NFL meetings that he doesn't know if the team can afford Joey Bosa, signaled the reunion is unlikely.
- Joey Bosa remains unsigned after a 2025 season with the Bills that included 15 starts, five sacks, and a league‑high five forced fumbles.
- San Francisco produced only 20 sacks last season, the fewest in the NFL, highlighting the need to add more edge pressure.
- Reported cap space ranges from about $27 million to $31 million, and outcomes on Trent Williams' deal or any Brandon Aiyuk move could change that flexibility.
- Despite social media buzz about pairing Joey with his brother Nick, coverage now frames a deal as doubtful unless Bosa's asking price drops or the 49ers' cap picture shifts.
