This hold out has to be the dumbest holdout in the history of holdouts. Bosa will get all his money. They're fighting over WHEN he gets it. All now, or half now half a few months from now. Pretty dumb.

The bright side? Chargers can take Bosa with a top 5 pick again next year.

I'm assuming it's never a good thing when a team tweets out details of a rejected contract offer.
Charge on. |

I can not
CAN. NOT. believe you all are siding with the Chargers over Bosa on this. The CHARGERS ARE BEING ASININE ABOUT THIS. This is not Bosa's issue, this is Dean Spanos being an egotistical reerun. The Bosas are absolutely correct to not sign and bow to this ridiculous contract. |

offset clause if he gets cut? You can thank Terelle Owen's crying ass for that shit. He would sign a contract, turn into a huge pain in the ass so he got cut and then go to a new team and repeat the process. I believe at one point he was "getting" signing bonus money from 3 or 4 different teams at the same time. Teams don't want players intentionally not playing once they get their signing bonus ala Owens

It's industry standard. Sure, some teams don't use the exact format, but many of them do. This isn't the Chargers telling him they'd pay him in pennies and only during leap years. They offered him a contract that's in line with every other contract they've offered (and had accepted) by previous 1st round picks. The contract is comparable to contracts given by teams around him and by teams that have drafted in/around that position over the previous several years. Bosa's the one being unreasonable here.

If you really look at what people are saying, it's basically they think he's over-rated as a player and they think that's somehow relevant. It isn't. The chargers drafted him at 3. If they didn't want to sign him, they should have traded the pick. No other team would be having this problem right now. |

As far as I understand top draft picks get a choice between deferred language or the bonus up front.
Chargers continue to offer neither, so they can protect themselves. The way it's being framed in the media, which obviously supports the NFL, is that Bosa is simply demanding his full bonus up front when he's essentially asking for the same thing every other player at his draft slot has received since 2012 and what 95% of draft picks in the top 3 rounds have received in the same span. 50% up front with offset language is a bad rookie deal for Bosa, and that's what had been offered. The new offer was basically the same thing with 60% up front. The chargers, as usual, have been active in smearing Bosa and setting the narrative that he's just a greedy asshole. The truth is they're just squeezing pennies because their shit organization is broke. |
