Los Angeles Chargers Joey Bosa is now a part of the NFL free agent frenzy.
Free agency is about to become a frenzy in the coming days, and a name like Joey Bosa will not last long on the market. Fans and league officials are now speculating where Bosa would end up. Of course, with the Atlanta Falcons' current situation, his name has been linked to possible interest within the organization.
The only outcome so far is that Joey Bosa has spoken about joining his brother on the San Francisco 49ers, and that a contract may be in the works with the two sides working towards a deal. The Los Angeles Chargers cut Bosa on Thursday, clearing $25 million in salary cap space.
Playing with his brother may get his career back on track. The Atlanta Falcons need consistency, and a lot of it at the edge rusher position. The numbers for Joey Bosa have fallen off in recent years, although he is a five-time Pro Bowler. A once feared NFL pass rusher is not the answer Atlanta is looking for while attempting to build a relevant and perennial playoff team.
Bosa has not played in every game since the 2021 season and has only played in 28 games in total since 2022. He also averaged 10.5 sacks or more in his first four out of six seasons.
The answers that the Falcons are looking for at the edge rusher position may indeed lie within the draft. The question will be whether or not they trade back from the 15th pick and add a mid-round pick, along with a future one. Or, do they go all-in with the best available at that position, with someone who can be molded into an NFL gem with longevity?
With Myles Garrett now off the board, Raheem Morris and Arthur Blank must be on the same page for the franchise's fate to build upon a side of the ball that has lacked in recent years.
