Overview
- Joey Bosa is still a free agent as Organized Team Activities start, and media reports this week say no deal has been reached.
- San Francisco is repeatedly described as a natural fit because his presence would pair him with brother Nick and address the team's sack shortfall, but sources say the 49ers are unwilling to meet Bosa’s asking price.
- Several analysts now point to the Chicago Bears as a likely landing spot because the team lacks a proven second edge rusher opposite Montez Sweat and has not added an elite pass rusher in free agency or the draft.
- Bosa’s 2025 output with Buffalo — about 563 snaps, a roughly 79.3 PFF grade, 47 pressures, five sacks and a league-high five forced fumbles — underpins projections that any new deal will be short term with incentives tied to performance.
- Buffalo has moved on after Bosa’s departure by signing Bradley Chubb and Mike Danna and drafting T.J. Parker, a shift that leaves his next signing as the clearest immediate factor that could reshuffle pass-rush plans for contenders.
