Special: Nick Bosa talks about his 49ers upcoming just after Deebo Samuel offer

SANTA CLARA — Now that Deebo Samuel has his contract extension, Nick Bosa moves up in the queue and patiently waits his flip.

That time possible won’t arrive till upcoming 12 months, as common supervisor John Lynch prompt previous 7 days even though invoking the 49ers’ background of extensions for homegrown starts.

“I have a ton of faith that when the time will come, it will be easy,” Bosa claimed in an distinctive interview with this information firm soon after Monday’s exercise. (The finish problem-and-solution session will be highlighted in an upcoming  season-preview magazine.)

Whereas Samuel was coming into the closing 12 months of his rookie agreement just before Monday’s best-of-the-current market deal (three several years, $73.5 million), Bosa is less than 49ers command for two much more seasons, by way of them doing exercises his fifth-yr solution for 2023 it is a perk groups can use only on to start with-spherical picks.

Homegrown stars George Kittle, Fred Warner and now Samuel have obtained extensions in successive several years considering that Bosa arrived as the No. 2 all round in 2019, when he won NFL Defensive Rookie of the Yr honors en route to the Super Bowl.

“I definitely got fortunate. I could have been in other places,” Bosa said of landing with the 49ers. “I’m just pleased, due to the fact this group is so good. They give you all the assets you require.

“They pay attention to my input. Of course, you have to get some regard in the constructing right before you can give input, but I have a good connection with (mentor) Kyle (Shanahan) and John, so it is all very good.”

Bosa begun every recreation final time and totaled 15 1/2 sacks, plus 4 more in the playoffs. That proved not only how very well he came again from 2020 knee reconstruction but how deserving he is for a pay out increase amongst the NFL’s elite defensive ends.

Considering the fact that Lynch and mentor Kyle Shanahan arrived in 2017, the 49ers have taken care of their homegrown expertise, they’ve re-signed elite no cost agents this sort of as Trent Williams, Kyle Juszczyk and Robbie Gould, and they’ve hung on to their possess veterans these as Jimmie Ward and Arik Armstead.

As savvy as the 49ers have been in retaining a championship-caliber roster, these types of specials are not straightforward to broker, and Bosa is familiar with that, stating: “I know it’s a single of the toughest negotiation models up there with Paraag (Marathe, the 49ers’ chief capologist) and all all those men. But I feel when they know your price … ”

Lynch and Shanahan are adamant that Bosa is a foundational asset who they are determined to retain for quite a few years, even if it’s at a file-location cost, which probably will imply in the $30 million per year array. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ T.J. Watt reset the defensive close industry previous calendar year with a deal (4 many years, $112 million), surpassing the 2020 extension (five many years, $135 million) that the Los Angeles Chargers awarded Joey Bosa, Nick’s older brother.

Possibly the 49ers’ ignition stage for a Bosa offer comes when they shift Jimmy Garoppolo and his $24 million wage off the payroll, although a again-loaded deal is even now monetarily possible now.

“If you glimpse at our background, our cadence, you know most of our specials are done with just one calendar year left on the agreement,” Lynch reported Tuesday. “Nick’s received two several years left and so that does not make it difficult, but makes it more likely that it’s something that will be addressed up coming yr.

“No absolutes, you by no means say never, but here’s what I do know: As prolonged as we’re here, Nick Bosa is likely to be a element of the Niners and he’s heading to get compensated handsomely to do so. So his time’s coming and when it does, he’ll get what he deserves because guy, what a unique player.”

Shanahan glowed as camp opened about how Bosa appears “completely healthful, ready to go.”

”Have you observed him? It’s like any individual pretty much etched him. He’s like a sculpture,” Williams stated. “You never get that way by just waking up, taking in cereal and taking part in a match. … There is no secret to why he’s as fantastic as he is. Naturally the talent is there, but the perform ethic boosts the expertise.”

Bosa confronted off with Williams on a handful of plays Monday, 1 of which was a Trey Lance landing go to Brandon Aiyuk, when Williams kept Bosa on the perimeter.

“Trent form of will get on my nerves how good he is. Nah, I adore him. He’s the finest,” Bosa explained. “It just definitely humbles you.”

An even extra intriguing sight came later in practice. Bosa and Williams talked with just about every other for a few snaps and shared technique strategies.

“To me, it is a double-edged sword,” Williams claimed. “If Bosa asks a problem, he would like to know more about a thing. The ‘competitive me’ is hesitant to give him some of my mystery moves. At the close of the working day, we’re here to make each other much better. And he’s the similar. We’re pretty transparent and it is been that day considering that I walked in the door.”
