Nick Bosa offers perspective and advice for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk who's holding out for a contract extension.
Aiyuk currently is staying away from the 49ers offseason training program because he wants a contract extension, and his holdout could linger into September if the negotiations drag on. Because that's exactly what happened to Bosa last year. He missed OTAs, minicamp, training camp and the preseason while he waited for the team and his agent to come to an agreement, which they did four days before the regular season started.
"It's a tough business for sure," Bosa said recently. "You have to have thick skin. I haven't gone through that, but I think you just have to understand that it's a business and the team is going to try to get as good as it possibly can with or without you. And you have to look out for yourself -- that's why you go through holdouts and do certain things that seem selfish in the moment. It is what is it.
Bosa had a down year by his standards after holding out last offseason. In fact, most of the 49ers star players tend to have down seasons immediately after signing extensions. We'll see if that trend continues with Aiyuk.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
