He is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is seeking a contract extension.

[{"selector":"#anim-d367c6b1-d470-4e33-92b8-ce1a70a2aabf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eb646cff-2fa0-4f2f-af7d-03d7b2a33604","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 253.29865%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] The 49ers have offered Bosa more than T.J. Watt's $28 million yearly salary, but Bosa is looking for a deal closer to

Aaron Donald's $31 million and change. Bosa is holding out and has not reported to training camp or the preseason.

[{"selector":"#anim-f2474fe8-f4e6-4698-bad3-c16813491cd3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-74c4b484-8715-4ea2-b804-ccf75a68f313","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 206.63470%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 49ers need to get a deal done with Bosa as he is a key part of their defense.

[{"selector":"#anim-fed97a20-145d-481f-bbf0-f0c3cefee476","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bde82657-65ee-4381-9f32-e62adcd69ef6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 231.17011%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If Bosa does not play, the 49ers will take a big hit defensively.

[{"selector":"#anim-036d0017-23ba-4f42-9b5b-0f5a84f72530","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fd0b25e0-e7e0-44d8-bb9b-e2a9a4c93c48","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 311.74967%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 49ers have until the regular season starts to reach an agreement with Bosa.

[{"selector":"#anim-70f0cdfb-f877-459f-bb59-bd727f6530fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-267ac02c-61d4-4381-a971-07a1b5264c11","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 240.70877%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If the two sides do not reach an agreement, Bosa could miss regular season games.

[{"selector":"#anim-762890e2-aac0-4e68-be40-8baa691aa142","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d5f64b74-0a5b-4682-94fd-7d8489682b9c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 273.64799%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The 49ers are hoping to avoid a long-term holdout from Bosa.

[{"selector":"#anim-ad4881eb-4ceb-4106-9c8d-4c5b4d4818a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-50f9dc99-98f3-4c98-acbe-3157fea878e1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 318.64627%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The outcome of this contract negotiation could set the market for defensive players in the NFL.
