The loss of Nick Bosa to a season-ending ACL injury undoubtedly makes the San Francisco 49ers a weaker football team. That's simply what happens when one of the best defensive players in the game is taken out of the lineup.
Just ask the Dallas Cowboys. What, too soon?
From a football standpoint, there's nothing positive that can be said about losing Bosa. From the business side of things, however, there is one bit of good news to come from this dire situation, as ESPN reported that the Niners will receive nearly $7 million in salary cap relief next season, thanks to an insurance policy they took out on the five-year, $170 million contract extension they gave the Ohio State alum just ahead of the 2023 campaign.
