I'm already worried.
I mean, really, just what's the FO's issue with extending Bosa?
What could possibly be their hangup? He's
THE top EDGE rusher in the league. The defense is TOTALLY different without him. I just don't get the 9ers front office here, this should be a no-brainer. They can't possible be afraid he won't live up to the contract. Do they honestly expect Bosa to take a hometown discount? With his production and impact on the game he shouldn't be expected to - I wouldn't. Based on his production alone gives him
carte blanche to expect whatever bag he wants.
Jed York, John Lynch, and Paraag Marathe, get over yourselves. You don't have the leverage here. Un-ass that money and pay that man what he wants. If he wants the highest ever in guaranteed dollars, give it to him. If it's a shorter contract so he can get another bite at the contract apple, give it up. Whatever it is you guys inventing to create leverage
STOP IT!! If you're trying to play the long game to have him to play out his rookie deal to hope for a dip in production for negotiation leverage, you play a dangerous game because his production will only get better and his price higher. If there's any player in the league that has EARNED a record-breaking extension it's one Nicholas John Bosa!
Pay the goddamn man and quit d!cking around!!!
