The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a five-year, $170 million extension with defensive end Nick Bosa, making him the highest-paid defensive player in history. The deal includes $122.5 million guaranteed and surpasses the previous highest annual payout and full guarantee marks set by Aaron Donald and T.J. Watt, respectively. Bosa's contract comes after a dominant 2022 season where he earned his first All-Pro nod and a third Pro Bowl berth. Despite suffering a torn ACL in 2020, Bosa has bounced back and recorded a combined 34 sacks over the past two seasons.
