Overview
- San Francisco’s pass rush produced just 20 sacks in 2025, intensifying calls to reinforce the edge this offseason.
- CBS Sports’ Jared Dubin recommended the 49ers prioritize Joey Bosa, pitching a reunion with Nick Bosa as a low-cost bridge option.
- Fox Sports’ updated free agent projections predicted Joey Bosa and Falcons edge Arnold Ebiketie would sign with the 49ers.
- Analysts cited Buffalo’s cap constraints and a likely one-year market near last year’s $12.6 million for Bosa, with Ebiketie forecast on a one-year deal in the $6–8 million range.
- Bosa posted five sacks and five forced fumbles in 2025 but saw his pressure rate dip late in the season after injuries, while projections call for multiple additions to buy time for Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams to recover.
