How Montez Sweat’s new 4-year, $98M deal with Bears will impact Haason Reddick

We’re looking at how Montez Sweat’s 4-year, $105M deal with the Chicago Bears impacts Eagles pass rusher Haason Reddick

The Eagles retooled this offseason, signing All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts to a massive contract extension and adjusting after losing some big-name defenders in free agency.

If Philadelphia thought they had a problem after Rashan Gary agreed to a five-year, $107 million extension with Green Bay, wait until Howie Roseman sees Montez Sweat’s new deal.

According to Ian Rapoport, The Bears and new star pass-rusher Montez Sweat have agreed to terms on a 4-year that’s worth $72 million guaranteed.

The deal comes almost three months after Haason Reddick was asked about his salary and where it ranks among the NFL’s top pass rushers.

The $24.5 million per season puts Sweat ahead of Gary and on par with Myles Garrett, making him the 5th highest-paid edge rusher in the NFL.

GM Howie Roseman focused on adding younger talent in free agency this offseason, with the potential for impactful production on a cheap deal.

With Sweat’s new deal in place, here’s how it impacts the Eagles and Haason Reddick.

Nick Bosa expected to get 2 practices in before Steelers game

Nick Bosa is expected to arrive in the Bay Area on Wednesday night, then practice with the #49ers on Thursday and Friday.

The 49ers won’t have to wait long to get defensive end Nick Bosa in the building after agreeing to sign him to a five-year contract extension.

ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reported Bosa is traveling to the Bay Area from Florida on Wednesday with an evening arrival time. Then the expectation is for Bosa to practice Thursday and Friday in hopes of preparing to play Sunday.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Wednesday before practice held out some hope that Bosa would arrive in Santa Clara in time to participate some in the day’s session.

While he didn’t get a chance to get his first reps of the year Wednesday, he’s on track to get two full practices in to close the week which will have to suffice in Bosa getting ready to play a still unknown role in Sunday’s season opener at Pittsburgh.

How Nick Bosa’s new 5-year, $170M deal with 49ers impacts Eagles’ edge rusher Haason Reddick

We’re looking at how Nick Bosa’s new 5-year, $170M deal with 49ers impacts #Eagles’ linebacker Haason Reddick

The Eagles retooled this offseason, signing All-Pro quarterback, Jalen Hurts to a massive contract extension, and adjusting after losing some big-name defenders in free agency.

Philadelphia could have a problem after Nick Bosa agreed to a five-year, $170 million extension with San Francisco.

The $34 million per season makes Bosa the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.

Bosa is now the 15th-highest-paid player in the entire NFL, quarterbacks included, in terms of per-year average.

The deal comes almost a month after Haason Reddick was asked about his salary and where it ranks among the NFL’s top pass rushers.

GM Howie Roseman focused on adding younger talent in free agency this offseason, with the potential for impactful production on a cheap deal.

49ers, Nick Bosa getting closer on contract per GM John Lynch

John Lynch doesn’t like being in this situation with Nick Bosa, but he believes the #49ers and their star DE are getting closer on a contract extension.

The 49ers are in uncharted territory with defensive end Nick Bosa. A team that typically has its contract extensions done before or early in training camp is now dealing with a negotiation that’s threatening to bleed into the regular season.

With fewer than three weeks to go until the season opener in Pittsburgh, Bosa still hasn’t reported for camp. It’s a new phenomenon for the 49ers front office and general manager John Lynch, who told KNBR in San Francisco that while he doesn’t like how long the process has gone, the team and Bosa are still working toward a solution.

“Concern’s a relative word. I don’t like the situation,” Lynch said. “Since our tenure here we haven’t had a holdout anywhere toward this magnitude. So, not something I’m comfortable with. We’re working really hard to try to change that. We’re in good communication with his reps. He’s a special player, he’s gonna get a special contract I can tell you that. But yeah, we’re getting closer and eager to bring this to a close, but I think I’ll leave it at that. We’ve talked from the beginning, Nick and myself and his representatives about ‘let’s keep this thing in house,’ and so we’ll continue to do that and just know that we’re working diligently to try to bring it to a close.”

The 49ers have until Sept. 10 to get deal done before the regular season opener, although Bosa would need some amount of practice to get in playing shape and to be involved in game planning. A full week of practice would mean Bosa needs to be back by Sept. 4.

Ideally though the deal is done before that and the 49ers can exit the uncharted waters they’ve waded through the entire offseason.

Kyle Shanahan not worried at all about Nick Bosa holdout

The #49ers are publicly exuding a lot of confidence that they’ll get an extension done with Nick Bosa.

There’s been no movement publicly on the 49ers negotiations with Nick Bosa. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year was absent again on Day 10 of training camp, but despite the ongoing holdout, the team is maintaining confidence they’ll get a deal done.

General manager John Lynch has expressed a lot of positivity about the negotiations, and head coach Kyle Shanahan on Monday told reporters in a press conference he isn’t worried about getting Bosa in the building.

While the club would prefer their star DE be in practice, Shanahan said he’s sure Bosa will be ready to play once his contract is hammered out.

“No, not at all,” Shanahan said when asked if the Bosa holdout was stressful. “Because I don’t know if Bosa has ever done a training camp and he has done pretty good. It’s a little different when you’re a defensive lineman. Everybody wants people here and you want to do that stuff, but it doesn’t affect the team as much from a defensive end standpoint. I have as much confidence in Nick as any player I’ve ever been around in terms of how he prepares and everything. I know they’re going to get it right, both sides, and I’m excited for when I do see him.”

Shanahan also said he stays far apart from those negotiations and lets the front office handle it.

The fact Shanahan and Lynch are both still so publicly confident is a good sign, combined with the fact there hasn’t been any sniping from either side in the media with anonymous reports about the negotiations.

It’s going to be the biggest contract the 49ers have negotiated and they’re trying to fit it into an already expensive roster in a league with a hard salary cap.

They have until the season opener on Sept. 10 to get a deal done, and whenever the extension is signed the 49ers are sure Bosa will be ready to play.

49ers GM John Lynch provides ‘update’ on Nick Bosa contract situation

John Lynch exuded a lot of confidence that the #49ers will get a contract extension done with Nick Bosa, but it may take awhile.

The 49ers and star defensive end Nick Bosa still haven’t agreed to a contract extension. San Francisco has wrapped its fifth day of training camp and the reigning Defensive Player of the Year still has not reported.

While Bosa’s absence looms large, general manager John Lynch on Monday expressed confidence in the club’s mix of urgency to get a deal done, and patience to get the right deal done.

“I’ll just tell you, we have to strike the right mix of urgency,” Lynch said. “I don’t like this. I don’t like not having one of our best players here. We’ve got a really good track record that I’m proud of as a group of having our players in, but I also understand it and understand that we’re going to have to exhibit some patience and understand that ultimately this thing will work out.

I’m very confident in that and we’re just going to have to have that right mix of urgency and patience. And again, I remain confident that we will come to an agreement and get things taken care of so we can have one of our best players, one of the best teammates, this is the guy that addresses our team every Saturday and just gives his wisdom. We miss him and looking forward to the day he’s coming back.”

In an effort to respect privacy on both sides Lynch refused to get into details, but he exuded an assuredness that eventually they’ll agree to a long-term extension.

“No. I’m very confident,” Lynch said.

For now that confidence is the only “update” from the GM. It makes sense that the negotiation is a touch tricky. After all, it will likely make Bosa the highest-paid non-quarterback in the league. The 49ers also have a slew of other salary cap gymnastics to think about when structuring Bosa’s deal. There’s a real chance the hangups are less about money and more about specific contract language and how that money will be distributed in order to best benefit both sides.

Not having Bosa in camp is certainly not optimal for the 49ers, but if any player was going to miss significant time and then hit the ground running it would be him. Lynch didn’t indicate much worry about how much time Bosa has missed, saying when he played he needed only three weeks to really ramp up.

There’s a long way to go until that three-week mark though, so continuing to exercise urgency and patience will be paramount to the 49ers checking their last and biggest offseason box.

49ers biggest offseason box remains unchecked

The 49ers still have a major offseason box to check.

[anyclip pubname=”2103″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8036″]

The 49ers haven’t had a particularly active offseason, but they did make a significant splash when they signed free agent defensive tackle Javon Hargrave. Despite the Hargrave addition, San Francisco’s biggest offseason box still remains unchecked.

ESPN’s Field Yates put together a list of one final move each team needs to make. For the 49ers it was their biggest offseason priority that still needs to be taken care of: extending defensive end Nick Bosa.

Via ESPN:

This one didn’t require too much contemplation, as Bosa — the best defensive player on a team full of incredible defenders — is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is unquestionably due a new deal. The complex part is figuring out the exact numbers, but it’d be no surprise if it ends up among the richest ever signed by a defensive player.

The good news is the Bosa contract wasn’t expected to be done by mid-June. Typically the 49ers hammer these deals out just before training camp or in the day or two after camp starts. Bosa during a press conference during mandatory minicamp indicated optimism that a deal will get done.

For San Francisco it’s not a question of whether to pay Bosa. They have to figure out how much to pay him and how to structure that deal. It’s likely he’ll become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history after his Defensive Player of the Year performance last season.

Still, this is a deal the 49ers have undoubtedly been thinking about since 2019 when Bosa won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. There’s never been a question on whether he’d be re-signed. San Francisco still has to check that box this offseason, but it’s empty by design. A deal is coming, and at that point the necessary offseason moves will be complete.
