Ian Rapoport reports that the 49ers are likely targeting this offseason for a new contract with DE Nick Bosa, one that would make him the highest-paid defensive player in the league.
The current highest-paid defensive player is Rams DL Aaron Donald, who is making $31.6 million per year.
Bosa, 25, is a former first-round pick of the 49ers back in 2019. He finished out the final year of his four-year, $33,551,874 rookie contract that included a $22,421,364 signing bonus.
The 49ers opted to pick up Bosa’s fifth-year option back in April of 2022, which was worth $17,859,000 fully guaranteed for the 2023 season.
In 2022, Bosa appeared in all 17 games for the 49ers and recorded 51 tackles, and led the NFL with 18.5 sacks.
We will have more news on Bosa as it becomes available.
