When I say Nick Bosa, What is the first thing that pops into your head?

Bosa is getting regular days off as part of a maintenance schedule to ensure he’s healthy by the Sept. 12 opener in Detroit. He was off Sunday prior to a team day off Monday.

He tore his ACL in Week 2 of last season, so he’ll be almost exactly a year removed from the injury by the time the 2021 season begins. Avoiding setbacks is all that matters for the star defensive end in camp. As long as he’s on the field for San Francisco, their defense has a chance to be one of the league’s best. reflected for USA TODAY Sports last week as NFL owners wrapped up meetings in Nashville. “But he was more right than he was wrong.”

Andrew Brandt remembers. The former Green Bay Packers executive, a foremost authority on NFL financial matters, shrugged at the thought that the league could increase its revenues by roughly $1 billion per year. “Goodell doesn’t say anything without it being backed up somewhere,” Brandt told USA TODAY Sports.

Fast-forward to now. Goodell’s $25 billion goal is undoubtedly in reach. Jones said, “We’re almost there. Could exceed it.”

Although the NFL won’t publicly divulge the figures, it is believed that annual revenues have surpassed $20 billion, which coincides with a $30 million rise in the salary cap to a record $255.4 million per team in 2024.
