49ers' Lynch Not Taking Nick Bosa Trade Calls: 'Hotline is Closed. ... Never Opened'

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa is entering the final year of his contract, but the team has no plans to trade him ahead of potential free agency.

"That hotline is closed," general manager John Lynch told reporters. "That never opened."

The team is focused on Thursday's draft for now, and there will be plenty of time even before the season starts to negotiate a new contract. Lynch sounded like someone who wants to do just that, and the Super Bowl contenders would be wise to do everything in their power to keep the Ohio State product on the defensive front.
