Nick Bosa's mom Cheryl campaigns for her son Joey to join 49ers after Chargers release DE

The Chargers released Joey Bosa, making him a free agent, and it is clear that mom Cheryl wants him to join his brother Nick Bosa with the 49ers. The AFC West team decided to part ways with the defensive star to save cap space going into the 2025 NFL season.

It now gives the 49ers a chance to add Joey Bosa and reunite him with his brother. Mom Cheryl posted a video on her Instagram story showing him and Nick Bosa growing up together, as a family, as high school teammates, and college teammates. It was clear that she would like them to reunite at the NFL level as well, with now being an opportunity.

Joey and Nick Bosa uniting with the 49ers has been on mom Cheryl's mind before Chargers' release

Cheryl Bosa has been wanting this possibility to come for some time. Back in February, just after the Super Bowl, reports had started circulating that the Chargers might look to offload their star defensive end. At that time, his mother had posted a mocked-up photo of Joey Bosa in a 49ers jersey, standing shoulder to shoulder with brother Nick Bosa.

Ultimately, it would be up to San Francisco general manager John Lynch to decide if he wants to bring Joey Bosa to the Bay area, but if he so chooses, he will know that there might be rare synergy between him and Nick Bosa. Last year, the 49ers star revealed that he spent the offseason practising and being in shape with his brother even though they were on different teams.

"It was a good offseason. I took it slow after a really long year, I think I kind of built it up better than I have in the past, but Joey and I did a really good job. I think I'm in as good shape as I'll be in, and we've made some tweaks here and there. Nothing too crazy, but think it's going to be good results."

If the brothers have coordinated their offseasons before despite playing for rival teams, the 49ers might find added benefit even before training camp begins. However, securing the former Chargers' star's signature will not be easy as there are expected to be multiple suitors for the defensive end. However, if Cheryl Bosa's preference holds, we could see both her sons lining up for the 49ers as they try to reach the Super Bowl and win it again for the first time in a generation.
