The SF 49ers may be cautious in NFL free agency this offseason because they’ll need to save money to extend Nick Bosa sooner than later.

While it doesn’t seem like it on the surface, the SF 49ers‘ actions towards NFL free agency in 2021 are heavily influenced by what they’ll eventually have to do with star EDGE Nick Bosa.

Granted, Bosa won’t be eligible for a contract extension until 2022, and he also has to prove he’s fully recovered from the devastating ACL tear he suffered early last season.
