Time was ticking down on the two sides to agree on a deal, but with Sunday’s season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers just days away, the Niners finally handed Bosa the record-breaking offer he was looking for.

According to reports, the deal is for five years and $170-million, with $122.5-million guaranteed. It works out to an average of $34-million per season, making the reigning Defensive Player of the Year the highest paid defensive player in NFL history.
