Breaking: 49ers Re-Sign Nick Bosa for a Reported Salary of Around $34 Million Per Year
The San Francisco 49ers have officially re-signed star defensive end Nick Bosa, securing their defensive cornerstone for the foreseeable future. According to reports, the new deal is worth around $34 million per year, making Bosa one of the highest-paid defensive players in NFL history.
A Record-Setting Contract
While the exact contract details have yet to be confirmed, sources indicate that the deal will likely keep Bosa in San Francisco for several more seasons, solidifying his role as the anchor of the 49ers’ defense. This extension follows his previous five-year, $170 million contract signed in 2023, which made him the highest-paid defensive player at the time.
Bosa, the 2022 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, has been a dominant force since entering the league as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. His elite pass-rushing skills, relentless motor, and leadership have been instrumental in the 49ers’ defensive success.
Bosa’s Impact on the 49ers’ Defense
Over the past few seasons, Bosa has consistently been among the league’s top defenders. In the 2024 season, he recorded 15.5 sacks, 48 tackles, and 2 forced fumbles, further proving his value as a premier edge rusher. His ability to disrupt opposing offenses has been a key factor in San Francisco’s continued dominance in the NFC.
What This Means for the 49ers
By locking in Bosa, the 49ers ensure that their defensive front remains one of the most formidable in the league. His presence alongside stars like Javon Hargrave and Arik Armstead keeps San Francisco in Super Bowl contention for years to come.
With this massive extension, the 49ers will need to carefully manage their salary cap, especially with other key players approaching free agency. However, keeping Bosa was a top priority for the franchise, and they made sure to secure their defensive leader.
Looking Ahead
With Bosa’s contract situation settled, the 49ers can now focus on building around their star-studded defense while making a push for another deep playoff run. Fans can expect San Francisco to continue being one of the NFL’s most feared teams, with Bosa leading the charge.
