Just 18 days before the 49ers kick off the 2023 NFL season against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team has yet to finalize Nick Bosa's impending extension. On Tuesday, coach Kyle Shanahan explained why he is not surprised in the least. "Nothing has changed," Shanahan said when asked about the timeline. "It's going pretty much exactly how I expected it to go. It's been exactly what I thought." Bosa is set to ink the most lucrative contract in NFL history for any non-quarterback, and while no agreement has been reached, both sides have kept all details away from public eyes and ears.

Both Shanahan and general manager John Lynch have previously shared that while they have the utmost confidence that Bosa will be ready for Week 1 regardless of when he arrives, they'd prefer to have all of their players at team headquarters practicing, simply to get their bodies in "football shape."...
