The 49ers have a leg up on the compeтιтion in the free-agency rush for Joey Bosa.

San Francisco — where Nick has spent his entire NFL career as a defensive end — is an option for Joey after the veteran pᴀss rusher was cut by the Chargers after a nine-year run on Thursday, according to NFL Network.

Their mom, Cheryl Bosa, was all for a brothers takeover in the Bay after not playing together since high school.

Taking to her Instagram Story on Thursday, Cheryl reposted a fan-made video that said, “Can we get a peтιтion going on bringing [Joey Bosa] to the Bay.”

Cheryl was tagged in the video, which showed pH๏τos of Nick, now 27, and Joey, now 29, through the years.

The brothers never got the chance to play alongside each other at Ohio State, as Joey left for the NFL after three years, before Nick’s freshman season for the Buckeyes in 2016.

Joey was a senior and Nick was a freshman at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale when they played together in 2012.  

Joey’s release saved the Chargers $25.36 million in cap space.

“Could not be prouder than my son, Joey,” Cheryl wrote on her Instagram Story, including a “Thank you” message posted by the Chargers.

Joey — a five-time Pro Bowler and the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2016 — was plagued with injuries after signing a five-year, $135 million contract extension with Los Angeles in 2020.

In 2024, he played 14 games — the most since 2021 — with five sacks and was selected to his fifth Pro Bowl.

Considered one of the best ever Chargers, Joey ranks second in franchise history for his 72 career sacks behind Leslie O’Neal (105.5).

Joey spent the first nine seasons of his career with the Chargers after selecting him with the third overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

The second overall pick by the 49ers in the 2019 NFL Draft, Nick went on to earn five Pro Bowl nods and a first-team All Pro selection in 2022.

Nick was the Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2019 and Defensive Player if the Year in 2022.

As of Thursday, Joey, in his first NFL free agency, hasn’t said where he’d prefer to take his talents.

Earlier this offseason, Nick discussed the potential of teaming up with his older brother.

“It’d be cool at some point,” Nick told ESPN last June. “I always thought of myself being somebody that will play here and retire here, which I think not many people do on one team, and I think it would be a cool thing to accomplish, but you never know.”

The year prior, Nick said “it will break the NFL” if the brothers’ played on the same team during an appearance on “The Richard Sherman Podcast.”
