Kyle’s update, 1:29 p.m. PT: NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero added that Bosa’s deal includes a $50 million signing bonus, which is a record for any defensive player
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the 49ers have agreed to a five-year, $170 million extension with Nick Bosa. The deal includes $122.5 million guaranteed, making Bosa the highest-paid defensive player in history.
Bosa’s $34 million annually eclipses Los Angeles Rams’ star defensive tackle Aaron Donald, which is likely something that Nick was shooting for.
Now that Bosa’s holdout is over, he’ll be on the practice field and likely ready to suit up for Week 1’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
