San Francisco 49ers star receiver
Deebo Samuel's extension talks have been at the forefront of 49ers' news this offseason. However, there is another star from the 2019 draft class that has yet to receive an extension—defensive end
Nick Bosa.
Bosa, who bounced back from a torn ACL in 2020 with 15.5 sacks last season, has a different situation from Samuel, as he was a first-round pick, meaning the Ohio State edge rusher has a fifth-year option in his contract, as opposed to entering the final year of his deal.
General manager John Lynch addressed the topic at San Francisco's pre-training camp press conference on Tuesday, acknowledging that extension talks with Bosa will likely occur next year due to precedent.
"If you look at our history, our cadence, most of our deals are done with one year left on the contract, and Nick's got two years left, and so that doesn't make it impossible, but it makes it more likely that it's something that will be addressed next year. No absolutes, never say never, but here's what I do know: as long as we're here, Nick Bosa's going to be a part of the 49ers and he's going to be paid handsomely to do so. His time's coming and when it does, he'll get what he deserves, because man, what a special player."
Bosa is entering his fourth season with the 49ers and will headline a deep defensive line unit that ranked among the league's best in 2021, coming fifth in sacks, while the 49ers defense also ranked third in yards allowed per game, fifth in yards per carry, and seventh in defensive DVOA, according to Football Outsiders.
Bosa's fifth-year option for 2023 was exercised by the 49ers earlier this offseason. Currently, he stands to make $17.8 million in 2023, all of which is fully guaranteed, but that figure will likely change if an extension occurs next offseason.

49ers' John Lynch, Chris Foerster on hand to scout Washington Huskies prospects
San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch and Offensive Line coach Chris Foerster were in Seattle on Saturday scouting prospects of the Washington Huskies.

49ers analysis: The pros and cons of a Brandon Aiyuk extension
John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan have made it clear that they want WR Brandon Aiyuk to be a part of the San Francisco 49ers for the foreseeable future. It appears Aiyuk also wants to get something done, but all indications are that he isn't willing to take a hometown discount and the likelihood of playing on the last year of his deal without a holdout or trade request is slim.
Simply put: Aiyuk wants to get paid.
It's hard to blame him. A player's time in the NFL can be short and it takes just one hit to end a career. So, whether it's with the Niners or another team, Aiyuk will squeeze every penny out of what will most likely be his most lucrative professional contract. But is spending that much on a receiver a wise move for the franchise?

Mike Silver on how Deebo Samuel's contract might be the starting point for a Brandon Aiyuk extension
With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal.
Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.
