Five pass-rushers who will make bank because of Myles Garrett deal

Joey Bosa

We saved the best for last here, folks. There is no way that Joey Bosa does not get a larger extension than Myles Garrett. I had previously believed that he was going to sign an extension of around 25 million dollars per year. Now that Myles has reset the market, Bosa should be looking for even more.

In the last year of his contract, the Chargers seem to be waiting till the final minute to extend Joey Bosa. Considering they also have to extend Keenan Allen, Melvin Ingram, and Hunter Henry this season, things could get tight in the cap department.

There’s no way that Joey Bosa hits the open market. If he does, then he is going to find himself making 30 million dollars a year somewhere. Bosa is one of the top defensive ends in the NFL right now and is only 25. He’s better than Ngakoue, his predecessor on this list.

If I were a betting man (and I am not), I would put my life savings on Bosa resetting the defensive end market when he signs his next contract. Bosa is undoubtedly a generational talent playing on a team right now that hasn’t been successful and has a lot of cap space. The Chargers are going to eventually reward him well, and if not, someone else in the NFL will.

Bosa is most likely going to benefit the most from the Myles Garrett extension out of everyone on this list. They should be compared to each other for the rest of their careers, considering how their production levels have been very similar and they both were drafted a year apart from each other at the top of their respective draft classes.

If Bosa had signed before Myles, then Myles Garrett would be asking for more than the 25 million he has received. They are too close in talent to not demand around the same pay, and Myles just gave Bosa all the leverage he needs to make more than 25 million dollars a year.
