Reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Nick Bosa is currently engaged in negotiations regarding a new contract with the San Francisco 49ers. He is coming off a fantastic season where he led one of the best defenses in the league from the front.
Bosa will earn close to $18.8 million this year and will be an unrestricted free agent after this season. As a result, he wants to negotiate a new contract with the organization in order to be compensated for his contributions to the team.
In this article, we will discuss whether or not the 25-year-old defensive end will be present at the 49ers training camp, as well as the implications of it for the franchise.

Will Nick Bosa Be There At the 49ers Training Camp?
Nick Bosa will not be present at the San Francisco 49ers training camp, and the franchise is well aware of the situation. Both parties are engaged in negotiations, and it won't be a surprise if an agreement is reached soon, given that Trevon Diggs and Justin Herbert have also signed their extensions recently.
Bosa is likely to sign the biggest DE deal in the market, eclipsing Myles Garrett, who signed a five-year $125 million deal in 2020 and earns $25 million annually. The 49ers know how important the former Ohio State star is for their team, which is why they want him to stay with them.
Kyle Shanahan Not Surprised By Nick Bosa's Situation
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan isn't surprised by Bosa's holdout. According to Tom Pelissero, Shanahan expects the star DE not to step on the field until he inks a new contract with the team.
The San Francisco 49ers are a Super Bowl contender, and Bosa is quite important to them. Due to it, an organization would not want to waste time and upset one of their best players before a crucial season.
Last year, he had 41 solo tackles, 10 assists, and 18.5 sacks in 16 games. Bosa, along with Fred Warner, Arik Armstead, Javon Hargrave, and Dre Greenlaw, will look to wreak havoc on the opposing offensive once again.
