The 49ers and Nick Bosa have agreed to a massive five-year deal worth $170 million, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The extension includes $122.5 million guaranteed and will make him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
The record-breaking deal is the highest for any player who isn’t a quarterback, with Bosa now earning $34 million annually. The extension also ends his holdout and San Francisco is expected to waive all of Bosa’s fines for not attending training camp, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The expectation is Bosa will now return to the team for its Week 1 matchup against the Steelers on Sunday.
