Bosa and Burrow kept informed about contractual situations

Defensive end Nick Bosa and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow were teammates at Ohio State who share the same representation.

On Wednesday, Bosa agreed to a five-year, $170 million contract with the 49ers to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. The next day, Burrow became the game’s highest-paid player with a five-year, $275 million extension.

“It was interesting,” Bosa said Friday. “We texted back and forth. ‘Are you almost there?’ ‘Are you almost there?’

“Many things were not very updated for weeks and finally he sent me the eyes emoji and I knew it was time for him.”

Bosa said he didn’t remember how he shared the news of his contractual agreement with Burrow.

When asked if he had any major purchases planned after his new contract, which averages $34 million per season, Bosa responded: “Uh, definitely get a house here, which will be a pretty big purchase in this area.”
