SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Nick Bosa's lengthy contract holdout ended four days before the start of the season for the San Francisco 49ers when he agreed to a contract extension that will make him the NFL's richest defensive player ever.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that the two sides agreed to the contract and that Bosa is on his way to the team facility.
Now Shanahan is glad he can stop thinking about what it would be like for the Niners to open their season without their best defensive player.
The Defensive Player of the Year.
ESPN first reported the extension and said it was worth $170 million over five seasons with $122.5 million guaranteed.
