Bosa, Williams final 1st-rounders to ink rookie contracts
The entire 2019 NFL Draft is now under contract.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa and New York Jets defensive lineman Quinnen Williams, the No. 2 and No. 3 picks, respectively, agreed to their rookie contracts Thursday.
The two players were the only remaining first-round picks who hadn't inked their deals, and both appeared in danger of missing the start of training camp as negotiations wore on.
Meanwhile, the 49ers also announced the signing of second-round receiver Deebo Samuel, who was the only other unsigned 2019 pick.
Los Angeles Chargers star pass-rusher Joey Bosa, Nick's brother, held out until late August after being taken with 2016's third overall pick, which led to rumors that the younger Bosa could follow in his footsteps.
Meanwhile, Williams' agreement was held up due to disagreements over the deferment of his signing bonus money, per Rapoport. In a compromise, the former Alabama standout will receive 75 percent of his signing bonus now, with the remainder to be paid next year.
