49ers still waiting to sign Nick Bosa to an extension. They aren’t considering trading him

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Nick Bosa still hasn’t reported to the San Francisco 49ers as his contract holdout moves closer to the start of the season but the Niners have no plans to trade their star defensive player away. With Bosa’s holdout in its sixth week, there has been some talk that San Francisco could look for a trade if the two sides can’t come to an agreement. I know they’re working tirelessly at it.. Hopefully we can get him in here sooner than later.” Bosa led the NFL with 18 1/2 sacks last season, when he was selected as the league’s top defensive player, and he has 43 sacks in 51 games. “Everyone knows how we feel about Nick and we all know how good a player he is.” Shanahan also addressed comments from former quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who said in a recent interview that the quarterback situation in San Francisco was “weird.” The Niners drafted Trey Lance third overall in 2021 but kept Garoppolo on as the starter that first season.
