The 49ers dragged out the negotiotian with Nick Bosa until four days before the season opener just to cave and give him everything he wants.
Well done.

i think bosa signs and plays and everyone forgets about this. but the 49ers thinking the reigning defensive player of the year would be the one to crack first or accept your deal "because we've always done it this way" is/was a comical misjudgment on their part. https://t.co/OpLx6oDdMe

Largest Signing Bonuses in NFL History:
1. Lamar Jackson, $72.5M
2. Dak Prescott, $66M
3. Matt Stafford, $60M
4. Nick Bosa, $50MThe signing bonus + guaranteed cash up front helps the team with their salary cap, but that's a WHOPPING signing bonus up front for Bosa.

Outside of Nick Bosa & his family, Micah Parsons should be happiest about the contract. I don't see any realistic scenario (barring injury) where Parsons isn't at least at $35M per year. It will be more costly for Dallas to wait until 2025 instead doing a deal next year.

Nick BosaAll got big deals with the 49ers before the season. Say what you want, but the team takes care of their own.

✅ Get Brock Purdy healthy for Week 1
✅ Extend Nick BosaThe path to get here throughout the offseason hasn’t been the smoothest, but the two most important offseason items are complete 4 days before the season opener.

The deal makes Nick Bosa the highest paid defensive player in history – by a wide margin. Holdout is over and Bosa is likely to be ready to play Sunday at Pittsburgh. https://t.co/oFKChL7ANy

Tongue-in-cheek question for #49ers DT Javon Hargrave: Now that you’ve seen Nick Bosa’s contract, do you want to restructure your deal?

#49ers are giving Nick Bosa a $50M signing bonus, which is a record for a defensive player, per @TomPelissero.
Also means that they’d be able to spread out the $50M bonus over the 5 years of the contract (+ void years if any).
