The 49ers are not acquiring Joey Bosa from the Los Angeles Chargers, who instead reworked his contract, keeping him from joining forces with younger brother, Nick.
Las Vegas Raiders offensive tackle Kolton Miller #74 blocks Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa #97 during the fourth quarter in an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020, in Las Vegas. SANTA CLARA – Four years ago, as Joey and Nick Bosa worked out daily in their native Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the NFL’s ultimate pass-rushing brothers often talked about joining forces. They knew, however, that dream would fade once Joey got his record-setting extension from the Los Angeles Chargers.
Joey Bosa’s eight-season tenure with the Chargers has been waylaid by injuries the past two years – groin surgery in 2022; toe fracture and foot sprain last year. He won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and made four Pro Bowls; matching those accolades is his younger brother, who also was the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Clelin Ferrell, a 17-game starter last year, left in free agency for Washington; Chase Young and Randy Gregory, both of whom were acquired in October trades, are free agents. Coach Kyle Shanahan is turning that defensive front over to his fourth coordinator in five years, with Nick Sorensen replacing Steve Wilks, although the 49ers have yet to announce last month’s promotion for Sorensen, formerly their pass-game specialist and nickel backs coach.
