The deal ends Nick Bosa’s holdout while making him the highest paid defensive player in NFL history by a pretty wide margin. Schefter adds that Bosa will likely be ready to play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The 25-year-old had an amazing 2022 season where he racked up 51 tackles (19 TFL), a league-leading 18.5 sacks, 48 QB hits and two forced fumbles.

Across four seasons and 51 games—a torn ACL in Week 2 of the 2020 season cost him the rest of that campaign—he’s registered an incredible 43 sacks.
