The San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys were the number-one and number-two seeds in the 2023 NFC playoffs, respectively. In 2024, the 49ers limped to the finish with a 6-11 record, while the Cowboys started sluggish and never recovered,

The San Francisco 49ers are in the early stages of an important offseason that they hope will be the start of their march back to Super Bowl contention. After narrowly losing Super Bowl LVIII, they suffered through a nightmare rash of injuries and won just six games in 2024,

The result is Bosa leading the team with 69 pressures in 2024, but only two other players having 25 or more pressures in Maliek Collins (45) and Leonard Floyd (44)."While Floyd looks like a solid running mate with the younger Bosa,

Bosa has around $36 million cap figure for 2025 and is owed a $12 million roster bonus in a month. By releasing the five-time Pro Bowler, the Chargers would clear $25 million in cap room even with more than $65 million already available.
