Once signed, Garrett would become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL, and would leapfrog Chicago Bears pass-rusher extraordinaire Khalil Mack to end up being the highest-paid protective gamer in yearly average income in NFL history.
The #Browns and Myles Garretts offer may not be final and official today. Still a few little hurdles. But it is expected to happen, as Cleveland is set to secure a key piece. https://t.co/873RKFYdbk— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 14, 2020
Its definitely a deserved number, though chances are he wont maintain that status as the leading AAV salary amongst protective players for long. Each year, brand-new deals are struck, eclipsing those of the season prior to. Jimmy Garoppolos agreement, for example, as soon as seen as an albatross no longer ranks amongst the top 10 salaries at his position.
Why is that fortunate for San Francisco? Given the certainty of a massive drop in league profits for the upcoming 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic, the income cap is expected to– at the absolute best– stay flat, with a considerable drop far more likely. The recent moves by the Chiefs, signing quarterback Patrick Mahomes to a mind-blowing contract extension and reportedly signing protective take on Chris Jones to another substantial number– both of which are considerably backloaded– recommend that Kansas City anticipates the income cap to considerably increase in the near future.
If theres any one protective player who needs to be most excited by Garretts pending agreement, its Bosa. He currently is among the very best defensive players in the league, and it will not be long up until the 49ers lock him up with his own record-setting extension.
Nick Bosa got off to a tremendous start to his NFL career, and it came as no surprise when he was called the 2019 Defensive Rookie of the Year. Though the award can be viewed as the conclusion of one hell of a rookie season, it likewise indicates an extremely brilliant future for the former No. 2 total draft pick.
A quick glimpse at the list of NFL Defensive Rookies of the Year from the past years recommends that Bosa is just scratching the surface of his supremacy. From Von Miller to Luke Kuechly (retired) to Aaron Donald, his older sibling Joey and dealing with maker Darius Leonard, its a whos who of the most impactful defensive players in todays video game. One remarkable protective player not consisted of on that list is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, who likely would have won the award in 2017 had he not missed out on the very first 4 weeks of the season.
Ever given that, Garrett has actually developed himself as potentially the most feared protective player in the league. He has actually accumulated 23.5 sacks in 26 games over the last 2 seasons integrated, and figures to terrify the AFC North for several years to come. That became far more certain Monday when NFL Medias Ian Rapoport reported that Garrett and the Browns were nearing a historical contract extension, worth $125 million over five years.
Garrett went into the offseason with 2 years remaining on his novice contract (counting the fifth-year option), so that can give you an idea of when a Bosa extension may come. Luckily for San Francisco, thats still a number of offseasons away. His fifth-year choice most certainly will be chosen up, so based upon the timing of Garretts extension, we can presume Bosa may get his following the 2021 season.

Ever because, Garrett has actually established himself as possibly the most feared defensive gamer in the league. Its absolutely a should have number, though chances are he will not preserve that status as the top AAV wage among protective players for long.
The 49ers just lost out on the opportunity to pick Garrett in the 2017 NFL Draft. 2 years later, they captured Bosa, who just may be much better and ultimately will be paid like it.
Assuming he stays healthy, Bosa will get more than Garrett did. Whatever that number is, it would be significantly tough for the 49ers to fit that into the present wage cap. A couple years from now, San Francisco extremely well could have the resources to pay Bosa, as well as a few other crucial gamers due for extensions.
A quick glance at the list of NFL Defensive Rookies of the Year from the past years recommends that Bosa is just scratching the surface of his dominance. From Von Miller to Luke Kuechly (retired) to Aaron Donald, his older bro Joey and dealing with maker Darius Leonard, its a whos who of the most impactful protective players in todays game. One phenomenal defensive gamer not consisted of on that list is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, who likely would have won the award in 2017 had he not missed out on the very first four weeks of the season.
