The 49ers on Monday announced they’ve exercised the fifth-year option on Nick Bosa’s rookie contract. First-round draft picks have the fifth-year club option on their standard four-year rookie deals.
This is perhaps the least surprising move of the last several off-seasons after Bosa put up 15.5 sacks in his first season back from a torn ACL that cut his 2020 campaign short.
While the 49ers exercised Bosa’s fifth-year option, it’s doubtful he’ll play any time on that deal. He’s eligible for an extension this offseason and general manager John Lynch on Monday said the club is working toward that.
