Yes, hope so.

"We have to strike the right mix of urgency. I don't like this, not having one of our best players here. But I also understand it, understand we're going to have to exhibit some patience that this whole thing will work out" -- #49ers GM John Lynch on Nick Bosa's contract talks.

How long does it take to hand the man a blank check?

That's the issue it's not blank. Could be a number of issues. Aren't signing bonuses taxed at a higher rate? I know my work bonus is taxed at a higher rate than my reg salary. Imagine getting millions in up front bonus to save cap. He could be choking in taxes. But really it could be a number of not related to the yearly salary holding things up.

I think regardless, you have to make Bosa, the highest paid D player. You can't fail to meet that threshold, cuz BA, or anyone else.

They have to make his contract fit in the cap. It is probably the bonus and guaranteed money holding it up. If the Niners can make it come out around his current cap hit 17ml that could leave them enough to sign others. The problem would be it would be back loaded. The last 2 yrs would be a Big hit to the team 35-38ml. But who knows what the cap would be by then. I guess they could just redo the contract in 3 yrs.

Anyway I hope it's sooner rather than later. Go 9ers

I think they can do it. I defer to AB81, but with the extra 10 million cap space they have now, they can roll over this year (if they don't touch it by signing a free agent before the deadline), and fit Bosa's guaranteed money with the expanded cap numbers for next year. In addition, if they can successfully front-load Bosa's contract like they always do with their core players, they should be able to fit Aiyuk in there too. They have currently 17+ million in dead money that disappears next year.

Nothing makes me more confident that the deal will get done then John Lynch saying he's confident the deal will get done.

Cohn calling Bosa a know-it-all mercenary who shouldn't be captain. Lol. That didn't take long.
