Chris Jones will be pleased to learn more specifics about Nick Bosa’s contract deal with the San Francisco 49ers.
Bosa’s signature on a new $170 million (£136 million) five-year contract with the Niners was officially revealed on Thursday. With this deal, the defensive end will become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, with a guaranteed $122.5 million (£98.5 million).
Bosa will receive an average yearly compensation of $34 million (£27.2 million) as a result of the procedure. That will exceed the $31.7 million (£25.4 million) that defensive tackle Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams has been making on average.
Bosa is anticipated to return to the roster for the next season after agreeing to a new contract.
It has been reported by NFL.com that the Niners will waive all of the fines incurred by Bosa during his contract holdout. Bosa had not returned to training camp or practice for the Niners throughout the entirety of pre-season.
In the process, Bosa incurred fines for every mandatory practice he missed, as well as the pre-season games. Those fines would have increased had he sat out of any NFL games from Sunday onwards.
Whilst not being part of practice with his teammates, Bosa is said to have been training on his own during the off-season to ensure he stays fit for the start of the campaign. And thanks to the decision from the Niners, it may have set a precedent for another current contract holdout.
