San Francisco 49ers star defensive end Nick Bosa has been holding out in training camp in hopes of a new contract.
Bosa is entering the fifth year of his NFL career and won Defensive Player of the Year last season. As the 49ers picked up his fifth-year option in February 2022, Bosa will be playing on the last year of his rookie contract.
The 25-year-old hopes that he and the team can hammer out a long-term deal as soon as possible, as he looks to become one of the highest-paid players in the NFL. For each day that Bosa misses the training camp, he will be fined $50,000. However, since he is still on his rookie contract, the fines are rescindable.

NFL fans weren't sympathizing with Nick Bosa upon hearing about his fines. Most know that his fines are rescindable and that he's likely in for a big payday very soon.
Here's how fans reacted:
Unlike Nick Bosa, Zack Martin and Chris Jones don't get any money back that they get fined for
Even Chris Jones, and Zack Martin will get fined $50,000 every day that they miss training camp. Unlike Bosa, however, Jones and Martin's fines aren't rescindable.
This is because Bosa is still playing on his rookie contract while both Jones and Martin are not. Martin will be entering the 10th season of his NFL career and will be playing in the final year of the six-year, $84 million contract he signed in 2018.
Jones will be entering the eighth season of his NFL career and is playing in the final year of his four-year, $80 million contract that he signed in 2020.
Both Jones and Martin are expected to get paid by their respective teams, but trades could potentially happen.
