 contract extension. Bosa's new deal has made him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history. The move comes just before the start of the regular NFL season, also ending a 43-day training camp holdout. Bosa's new contract is a significant upgrade from what he was slated to earn on the fifth-year option of his rookie deal from 2019, which was close to £14 million ($18 million). His negotiating power was boosted by his undeniable performance last season, where he achieved a career-high, league-leading 18.5 sacks and earned NFL AP Defensive Player of the Year. Along with the sacks, Bosa recorded 51 tackles with 19 for a loss of yardage. He also had 48 quarterback hits and two forced fumbles. His remarkable skills on the field have earned him recognition as a three-time Pro Bowler. Despite facing adversity, such as a torn ACL in Week 2 of the 2020 season that sidelined him for the remainder of that year, Bosa has managed to amass an extraordinary total of 43 sacks across four seasons and 51 games. His consistency and impact on the game make him one of the most formidable defensive players, according to NFL Players, who voted him the No. 4 best player in the league. His statistical output added to his developing track record since his first NFL season in 2019 when he was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. He accumulated 47 tackles, nine sacks, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, two pass deflections, and an interception in 16 games and 14 starts. It's worth noting that Nick Bosa and his older brother Joey Bosa have spent the past month dedicated to intensive training at their personally built gym in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
