One of the NFL's biggest offseason storylines has finally come to a close: Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Nick Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a five-year, $170 million contract extension that makes the former first-rounder the highest-paid defender in NFL history.
And now, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have to face him when the 49ers come to town in Week 1.
It's obviously not great news for the Steelers and their offensive tackles. Dan Moore Jr. and Chukwuma Okorafor are reliable starters, but they aren't going to blow anyone out of the water. Their lives undoubtedly got a lot harder with the news.
At the same time, it's a challenge that should be welcomed by the Steelers. This game is always about proving yourself and teams need to beat the best in order to accomplish that.
And with Mike Tomlin running the show, you know the Steelers are more than willing to embrace the coming hurricane that is Nick Bosa and the 49ers defensive line. Honestly, it's probably safe to assume the team is even more hyped about the game, now, than they were before.
