Nick Bosa is happy to see Ryan Clark out of the job at ESPN -- the San Francisco 49ers star woke up from social media hibernation to weigh in on the move ... two years after the analyst criticized him for wearing a MAGA hat after a game.

Bosa -- who last tweeted four years ago -- shared a single "OK" hand emoji in response to the report of Clark getting laid off earlier this week ... a clear sign Smaller Bear is just like an elephant, 'cause he never forgets.

The beef between the two goes back to October 2024 ... when Clark teed off on Bosa for rocking a white "Make America Great Again" hat as he crashed Brock Purdy, George Kittle, and Isaac Guerendo's postgame interview with NBC's Melissa Stark on "Sunday Night Football."

As we reported ... Clark learned during a commercial break Monday that he was part of a mass layoff at ESPN -- and he never returned to the broadcast.

Aaron Rodgers' family reunion didn't start this week despite what fans may think ... 'cause TMZ has learned the Steelers QB had already reunited with his parents months before he publicly revealed they'd reconciled.

In footage obtained by TMZ from April, Aaron is seen chatting, laughing, and spending time with his mom, Darla, and dad, Ed, at the inaugural Pleasant Valley High School Athletics Hall of Fame dinner in Chico, California, where he was inducted as a member of the first-ever class.

Aaron also gave a speech during the ceremony, thanking his parents ... another sign the family's yearslong rift had already begun to heal well before anyone knew.

The timing is significant because fans only learned the Rodgers family had reunited this week after Aaron posted a series of Instagram photos featuring his parents and brother Luke, captioning the post, "Another bonding week #fam."

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Ryan was going to be notified on Tuesday that he was part of a mass layoff, but on Monday ... the network was made aware that a report was about to drop about the former NFL player being laid off. The report was going to be published while Ryan was filming "NFL Live" and a call had to be made ... how should he find out?

We're told ESPN honchos decided to get ahead of the news and tell Ryan during a commercial break, rather than him see an alert on his phone.
