00:00 Not great news.
00:02 Ian Rappaport went on KNBR this morning
00:04 and said that Nick Bosa essentially wants what he wants,
00:08 is unwilling to really negotiate with the 49ers,
00:12 and unless they give him exactly what he's asking for,
00:15 or until they give him exactly what he's asking for,
00:17 he's not gonna play.
00:19 And there is a really, a very real possibility
00:23 that Nick Bosa will sit out week one to prove his point.
00:28 And I wonder how you, the 49ers fan, feels about that,
00:31 because from a business perspective,
00:34 I guess it's a savvy move.
00:36 You know, the Niners need Bosa more than Bosa needs them,
00:38 and if he sits out week one and they lose to the Steelers,
00:41 that really drives his point home.
00:42 But at what point do you ask, like,
00:45 is this guy a team player?
00:47 Is he really willing to let us lose games
00:49 so he can make $5 million more?
00:52 I mean, what is this?
00:53 You're already gonna make more money than anyone else
00:58 who's a defensive end, how much is enough?
01:00 How many games are you willing to miss?
01:01 Well, apparently he's willing to miss a whole bunch of 'em
01:04 until the Niners give exactly what he wants.
01:06 They misjudged the situation.
01:08 John Lynch said they already budgeted for this.
01:10 Well, apparently not.
01:12 Apparently they underestimated
01:13 what Nick Bosa was going to accept.
01:16 And so if they had known this before the draft,
01:20 would they have traded him?
01:22 I mean, Nick Bosa's a great player,
01:23 but not if he refuses to play,
01:25 and you're gonna give him quarterback money,
01:27 and he doesn't even play quarterback.
01:28 Like, what if you had known this five months ago
01:30 and you had just traded him for, like, Lamar Jackson,
01:33 or another quarterback who's actually worth the money?
01:36 Just a thought.
01:37 I mean, it's great having Nick Bosa,
01:39 but he won't even play for you
01:42 unless you give him, like, what, $35 million a year,
01:45 fully guaranteed, or something like that?
01:47 All right, well, either give him what he wants,
01:50 or trade him.
01:51 I don't understand this, like,
01:53 middle ground that the Niners are doing,
01:55 like, hoping and wishing and praying and hoping.
02:00 That's what they're doing.
02:01 It's not working.
02:04 Either give him what he wants, and you know what it is,
02:07 or trade him.
02:08 Trade him for a quarterback.
