San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa wants more than his $17.8 million fifth-year option heading into the new season, which is why he hasn't reported to the team facility.
Bosa’s 49ers teammates were asked about him not being present at training camp or preseason games. It’s obvious they want him on the field Week 1 and beyond, but with no hope in sight for that right now, being focused on those at practice is all that matters.
Tashaun Gipson Sr. is set to enter his 12th year in the NFL, so he understands that the league is a business and situations like this play out at every franchise. "You have to do what’s best for yourself and your family," Gipson said."Obviously having a guy like Nick with us on the field is huge. I mean, he’s the best defensive player in the league and one of the best players in the league."
While Shanahan may have hoped Bosa would show up for practice ahead of Week 1, the reality is Bosa might not be suiting up for the start of the regular season.
