Nick Bosa\ufeff’s prolonged holdout is over.<\/p>\n

The reigning AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year has agreed to a five-year, $170 million extension with the 49ers, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday. Rapoport added that the contract includes $122.5 million in guarantees and San Francisco will waive all fines Bosa incurred during his holdout.<\/p>\n

Bosa is now the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history with an average per year salary of $34 million, besting Aaron Donald’s $31.7 million with the Rams.<\/p>\n

Bosa sat out of all of training camp and the preseason, remaining away from the club while awaiting an extension after a career-best 2022 season. In order to protect his greatest asset — his health — he trained on his own while contract talks progressed, but they took longer than most would expect, including his coach.<\/p>\n
