The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to an extension with their star defensive end Nick Bosa just in time to have him on the field for Week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Bosa, who didn’t participate in training camp looking for a new deal, reportedly became the highest-paid non-quarterback in the history of the league. The 25-year-old received a five-year contract that will pay him $170 million, including $122.5 million guaranteed.

The 49ers confirmed Bosa’s extension on social media but didn’t reveal the financial details of the agreement. The Ohio State product had one year left on his rookie deal that pays him $18.9 million in 2023.

Bosa was a holdout to start the preseason after he and the 49ers failed to agree to an extension earlier in the year. The negotiations between the two sides dragged out longer than anyone expected, causing the 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan to plan the Steelers game as if his best defensive player won’t be on the field.

Shanahan actually only found out the news about Bosa’s extension several minutes before he was set to have a press conference on Wednesday. 

“I think our team was ready to not [have him], and that was our mindset, and it was a hell of a bonus just getting told that coming in here. So we’re obviously real excited about it,” Shanahan told reporters.

Nick Bosa finished the 2022 campaign, leading the league with 18.5 sacks while adding 51 tackles and two forced fumbles. He was named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year while picking up his third Pro Bowl nod and a First-team All-Pro selection.

The San Francisco 49ers are not thinking about trading their star defensive end Nick Bosa despite the holdup in contract negotiations between the two sides. The team’s general manager John Lynch made sure to point that out in a recent chat with reporters.

Speaking about Bosa’s situation on Wednesday, Lynch was asked at one point whether there is a possibility that the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year gets dealt.

“No, real simple,” Lynch responded while adding that there is no update on Bosa’s contractual situation at the moment.

49ers’ head coach Kyle Shanahan later echoed Lynch’s words.

“No, I feel pretty strongly, and I think everyone would agree with that,” Shanahan said about trading Bosa.

Nick Bosa is set to enter the final year of his rookie deal. He was eligible for an extension last year, but the two sides agreed to wait until 2023 to work on it. However, the talks haven’t progressed as the two sides imagined, causing Bosa to hold out and miss the entire training camp. The 25-year-old is presumably looking to become the highest-paid defensive player in the game, either in terms of average annual salary or most guaranteed money.

Bosa is coming off a career year in which he led the league with 18.5 sacks despite playing just 16 games. Aside from winning the Defensive Player of the Year, he also earned his third Pro Bowl and was named First-team All-Pro.

It looks like San Francisco 49ers fans will have to wait a bit longer before seeing the rookie defensive end Nick Bosa in action. Bosa, who was the second overall pick in this year’s draft, suffered an ankle sprain which will likely keep him out of team’s preseason games.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport, Bosa exited the practice on Wednesday with an injury and underwent an MRI. The test showed a mild sprain, but the 49ers are expected to be cautious with the 21-year-old due to his injury history.

“I think he’s alright,” – said San Francisco’s defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. “I still haven’t heard from the performance staff, but I don’t think there’s anything to worry about.”

Nick Bosa played only three games during 2018 college season before undergoing a core muscle surgery which ruled him out for the year. Bosa just recently fully recovered and which is why 49ers don’t want to take too many risks as they see him as an integral piece of their team for 2019 season.

Bosa wasn’t the only San Francisco 49ers’ player to get hurt on Wednesday, as veteran cornerback Jason Verrett also suffered a minor sprain. Verrett also has a long injury history, as he previously suffered from ACL and Achilles injuries which limited him to only five games since 2016.
