Bosa, 22, is a former first-round pick of the 49ers back in 2019. He’s currently in the second year of his four-year, $33,551,874 rookie contract that included a $22,421,364 signing bonus. 

In 2019, Bosa appeared in all 16 games for the 49ers and recorded 47 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, nine sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and two pass defenses.

Thomas, 25, was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. The 49ers traded down from the No. 2 pick to select Thomas, who is in the final year of a four-year, $28.15 million deal.

The 49ers declined to pick up Thomas’ option for the 2021 season back in April, which means he’ll be an unrestricted free agent next year.

Jordan, 30, is a former first-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2010 after Miami traded up to No. 3 overall to select him. He had two years remaining on his four-year, $20.572 million rookie contract when the Dolphins cut him loose.

The Seahawks signed Jordan to a one-year, $640,000 contract in 2017 and placed him on the NFI list before activating him in November. Seattle brought Jordan back on a restricted deal worth around $1.9 million for the 2018 season.

Jordan agreed to a one-year contract with the Raiders last year before joining the 49ers this summer and later being added to their practice squad. 

In 2019, Jordan appeared in seven games for the Raiders and recorded five tackles, two sacks and a pass defense.
