Five sacks, a 79 PFF grade, and a brother already on the roster — Joey Bosa remains unsigned as of May 10, 2025.

'Everybody continues to talk about Joey Bosa simply because he is still available in free agency...Beyond that, there are still questions about who can consistently pressure the quarterback.' — Matt Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area
San Francisco holds available salary cap space heading into the summer, yet Maiocco reports the 49ers show no willingness to raise their price for Bosa — or any free agent — on that basis alone.
Bosa spent 2024 with the Buffalo Bills, appearing in 15 games and recording five sacks after earning more than $13 million.
His 2023 season came with the Los Angeles Chargers, the franchise that defined most of his NFL career before the Bills stint.
Nick Bosa anchors San Francisco's defensive front, making a Joey Bosa pairing the offseason's most discussed what-if at the position.
'At this stage of his career, and now on the wrong side of 30, the biggest question for the 49ers is what he is still capable of producing.' — Matt Maiocco
Maiocco adds that the door probably stays open until Bosa signs elsewhere — but San Francisco's posture on price has not shifted.

CBS Sports analyst Tyler Sullivan notes Buffalo remains a realistic landing spot, given Bosa's familiarity with a Super Bowl-contending roster.
'He had five sacks for the Buffalo Bills last season and could return there if he wants to follow a similar path and join a team with Super Bowl potential.' — Tyler Sullivan, CBS Sports
Sullivan also flags the Tennessee Titans — now led by defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and head coach Robert Saleh — as a fit for Bosa in a rotational edge role after their own edge-rusher additions this offseason.
San Francisco's pass rush depth behind Nick Bosa remains the open roster question that keeps Joey Bosa's name circulating in 49ers coverage through the spring.
Until Bosa signs, San Francisco's negotiating window stays technically alive — and every day he remains a free agent extends it.
