He very well may the best non QB in the league. He's definitely right there. And it's completely normal for premium players, and sometimes even non premium players, to re-set the market when their contract is signed.

Take a breath man. Jfc, lol.

Anyone that understands the NFL market, would know that it makes complete sense for Bosa to reset the market. I don't think the niners have any issue with that either - specifically resetting the pass rusher market.

My guess would be that it's more to do with structure of the contract and guaranteed money. especially over the course of the first two years of the contract. maybe bosa is trying to squeeze another mil or so, but i think this is closer than we think.

I want you try something. Put yourself in Nick Bosas shoes. You're the very best player at your position and have an award that says this. You want as much money as possible from your employer so you aim super high. Now your employer doesn't want to pay it but also your employer has a deadline when they need you signed. Would it ever benefit you Nick Bosa to get this done months prior to the deadline?

If it were me and I was to wrap it up that early and easily, I'd instantly start kicking myself in the ass over the thought that I could have gotten more.

The greatest in the league though........and 25 years old. How can we be low balling him. He deserve unequivocally 40 -45 mill per year with at least 110 guaranteed. Not even debatable.

He very well may be the best player in the league outside of the QB position, again.

You don't even know what he's actually asking for and what we are offering, lol,

Don't let me stop you from crying!

The agent is the one keeps you from having remorse over lost money

It's like there's a playbook for agents

That article adds a factor that I'm not sure is in play here though, in that the 1st game of the Steelers season served as a deadline, since they refuse to negotiate contracts once the season starts. I'm not sure that's in play in Santa Clara though. If he doesn't sign by Sunday, would the Niners negotiate during the season? If so this could drag out for 7 more weeks.

I don't know if Bosa is the best non-qb in the league....there is a lot of high end dudes in the NFL.

What I do know, or at least what I do believe..... is the safest place to have near QB-ish money in the NFL outside of a blue chip QB is DE. When that DE also has absolutely no holes in his game and is as good at setting the edge and effecting the run game to the degree Bosa is....that is SAFE money.

This is as safe as the 49ers can spent money on a player as it can get.

I would bet this all but done.....at this point they probably have an understanding of what the money will look like, they are probably trying to figure out how to get the money on paper in the most manageable way possible.

the contract is probably complicated as hell and trying to get though legal.

I think it's always a little dangerous to have so much money invested in one guy, but it's the nature of the beast. He's a top 5 pass rusher in the NFL, conservatively, and there's no more important asset to a team outside of QB.

Sign the f**king deal, bro.

Agree 💯%, and the supposed difference between Bosa and the 49ers is less than 5 million. Thats half the average annual increas in the total cap year on year. Even that contract amount, as exorbitant as it sounds, will be nothing compared to the ones comming next year and the year after. Anybody remember that the price of a gallon of gas was less than a dollar once.

I'm old so I remember gas at .28 - .35 before the embargo in 72-73. I don't think Montana got paid in his career what these QB's now make in a year. So……..

The deal could get done in 5 seconds, 5 hours, 5 days or even 5 weeks. I have sources trust me!

A stud QB, LT, DE

And just look how bitter he is about that. When the NFL had that ceremony with all former Super Bowl MVPs, he refused to participate unless they paid him.
