How long until the Nick Bosa contract delay becomes an issue in Santa Clara? The San Francisco 49ers held their fourth practice of training camp, and the NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year remains noticeably absent.
Awaiting a new contract, Bosa didn't report with his teammates at the start of training camp last week. While there is little sign of concern from coaches or players, the topic of the negotiations will undoubtedly be front and center when general manager John Lynch speaks with reporters on Monday morning.
For now, fans are just waiting to see what happens, trusting the organization that has done a great job of getting deals done with high-profile players in recent years. That includes names like George Kittle, Fred Warner, and Deebo Samuel.
As for Bosa, there is no new news to report, as the team and the player's representatives keep the negotiation details under wraps.
"I haven't heard anything, so no updates there," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters after Sunday's practice when asked about the status of the talks.
So we'll continue to wait and see, hoping for an update to this quieter-than-expected storyline in the coming days. Shanahan and the 49ers don't expect to see Bosa until a new deal is completed.
San Francisco drafted Bosa (6-4, 266) out of Ohio State with the No. 2 overall pick in 2019. He registered 51 tackles, 19 tackles for a loss, 48 quarterback hits, a league-leading 18.5 sacks, a pass defensed, and two forced fumbles through 16 starts last season, per Pro Football Reference.
