Nick Bosa is the next San Francisco 49ers player in line to receive a big-time contract extension. Most expect the NFL Defensive Player of the Year frontrunner to become the NFL's highest-paid defender. But is that the talented pass rusher's goal?

"Not necessarily," Bosa responded when asked that question on Tuesday. "We'll just see where it goes."

One of his top priorities is remaining with the 49ers, the team that made him the No. 2 overall pick in 2019.

"I'd love to be here, for sure," Bosa said. "This is a great organization. They treat you as good as [anyone] can. I have amazing relationships here, so hopefully [I stay], yeah."

The defender isn't sweating the situation right now. He trusts the two sides will come to a mutually beneficial agreement.

"I'm definitely going to have patience and probably not worry about it for some time," Bosa commented. "I have an amazing agent who will handle all that, and I'll just enjoy my time off and get ready to roll next year."


Bosa finished the regular season with a league-high 18.5 sacks, adding 51 tackles, 19 tackles for a loss, 48 quarterback hits, a pass defensed, and two forced fumbles. Per Pro Football Focus, his 90 total pressures tied with Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons for the most in the league.
