-- Is Joey Bosa Done With the NFL? --
Wed Jun 24, 2026 --from FFMastermind.com

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free-agent DE Joey Bosa will likely not be signing with any team before Week #1. Schefter was asked about the prospect of the two brothers playing together and said that there’s a better chance of DE Joey Bosa playing for no one. “It is more likely than not that DE Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down,” Schefter said. “Now, again, could a situation like the 49ers come along that entices him enough to come out and play again? Yeah, absolutely. We saw it happen last year with QB Philip Rivers, so you never know when a player is fully done and when he’s not done. But the fact of the matter is, I think if the Niners wanted to pair those two together, it probably would have happened already. I think if DE Joey Bosa wanted to play football, it probably would have happened already.”
