Joey Bosa's 49ers Rumors Send NFL Furious, Ignite Controversy

Could Nick and Joey Bosa finally suit up on the same sideline? This might be the year it actually happens. The San Francisco 49ers have already made a splash in NFL free agency, locking up future Hall of Fame wideout Mike Evans on a three-year deal .

They’ve added some depth pieces as well, but there’s still work to be done—especially on defense. One spot that suddenly looks thin is edge rusher. With Bryce Huff calling it a career this week, the position opposite Nick Bosa took a hit.

So why not keep it in the family ? Joey Bosa is still sitting on the free-agent market. There’s a reason teams have been hesitant, though—availability.

Injuries have been a constant hurdle, and Bosa has never made it through a full 17-game NFL season in his career.
