The salary stories between Nick Bosa and the 49ers have been pacing in recent weeks before coming to a happy conclusion for both sides, four days before the season resumes. Defender of the Year and the franchise have agreed to a five-year, $170 million contract extension, with $122.5 million guaranteed, as the ESPN ad.
A staggering amount that makes Bosa the highest paid defenseman in NFL history. He will earn $ 2.5 million more each year than the second in the ranking, Aaron Donald.
If the negotiations between the player, his representatives and the franchise took time, they finally reached an agreement. This extension, which will allow Nick Bosa to earn 34 million per season on average, should reassure the side of California. The 49ers defense, so menacing, would not have been the same without the defenseman of the year.
It remains to be seen whether Bosa will be present on Sunday against the Steelers, in their quest for a sixth Super Bowl. If he hasn’t trained with his teammates all summer, no doubt he will want to prove himself worthy of his new contract as soon as he returns to the field.
