The 49ers expect to contend for the Super Bowl this year. Extending arguably the NFL's best defensive player was crucial to accomplishing that goal.
, the rookie kicker San Francisco drafted in the third round, struggled in exhibition play and suffered a quad injury that could affect his long-term availability.Well, as general manager John Lynch expected all along, the 49ers finally got the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year under contract on Wednesday.
Bosa, 25, had a strong argument for becoming the highest-paid defensive player in the league. He earned NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors his first season in the league and was voted NFL Defensive Player of the Year last year, totaling 18.5 sacks during the regular season. He's been selected to three Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro honors in 2022.
Bosa is expected to shake off the rust this week and play in San Francisco's season opener on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. But it's fair to wonder how many defensive snaps Bosa will play after not going through training camp this season. Now that Hargrave can pair with Bosa on game days, the 49ers have one of the scariest pass-rushing tandems in the league.
