Brothers Joey and Nick Bosa last played together in 2012 at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, when Joey was a senior and Nick was a freshman. However, they could soon reunite in the NFL.
After being released by the Chargers, Joey is now a free agent, and joining Nick in San Francisco is a possibility, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Their mother, Cheryl Bosa, also expressed on social media that she’d love to see them team up on the 49ers.
Both brothers were standout players at Ohio State, though Joey left for the NFL after three seasons, before Nick’s freshman year with the Buckeyes.
The 49ers have around $35 million in salary cap space, and while Joey won’t earn the $25 million he was set to make under his previous contract, multiple teams will likely pursue him. San Francisco has the financial flexibility to make a competitive offer—along with the unique opportunity to play alongside his brother.
