If that is accurate, there really isn't much downside in making a run at him. Having said that, cost is always the key factor in such discussions.
It's true that he would not count toward comp picks. But yeah, the downsides are cap hit and potentially losing him for more than half the season due to injury. Certainly worth reaching out, but I'd be reluctant to spend all that much on him. And the Bosas are not known for taking a home-team discount.
I know nothing about salary cap and contracts but are Chargers still paying him a ton even with releasing him?
Bosa was in the last year of his deal, and after two injury-plagued season, looks like he did a team-favorable restructure last year (curiously, we did the opposite with Deebo last year and restructured in a way that made his trade more painful, though we didn't have the injury leverage the Chargers did). His dead money hit is $11.1 million, which isn't nothing, but it's sure not the $30-odd million hit the Niners just ate.
