Nick Bosa signs 5-year extension, becomes highest-paid defensive player in NFL history

https://www.knbr.com/2023/09/06/nick-bosa-signs-5-year-170-million-extension-with-49ers-becomes-highest-paid-defensive-player-in-nfl-reports/

At long last, the 49ers have reached an agreement with the reigning Defensive Player of the Year.

After a holdout that stretched through training camp and threatened to leak into the season, a deal is done. According to Adam Schefter, the five-year extension will make Bosa the most highly-paid defensive player in NFL history.

Bosa was long expected to surpass the annual value number set by Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt at more than $28 million per year, but the recent deal given to Aaron Donald ($31.67 million per year) — the first defensive player on a deal with a contract worth more than $30 million per year — was something of a complicator. Bosa has surpassed that figure at $34 million per year, more than Jared Goff’s $33.5 million.
