They should have just ****ing traded him once they knew that he wasn't going to accept their offer. Send him to a team like the Cowboys and ask for their 1st round pick next year. Yeah it won't be a #3.....but at least you'll get something out of this.

The San Diego Chargers issued a statement on Wednesday regarding the contract negotiations with first-round pick Joey Bosa.

"We gave Joey's representatives our best offer last night, which was rejected today," the Chargers said in a statement. "The offer that we extended was for Joey to contribute during all 16 games and beyond. Joey's ability to contribute for an entire rookie season has now been jeopardized by the valuable time he has missed with his coaches and his teammates. Since Joey will not report at this time, his ability to produce not just early in the season, but throughout the entire season, has been negatively impacted."

Wow-what a Bust pick.

so he is clumsily saying that any future offers will be reduced because Bosa is past the point of being able to earn a full contract this year...?


what a cluster ****...his agent has failed him

The Chargers are hoping that with that statement the reaction will lead to him signing that deal. No way they wouldn't sign him to that same deal in a week or so.

It's hard to make Dean Spanos and the Chargers into sympathetic parties.

Yet Bosa and his agent have managed to do precisely that.

I mean sure, the Chargers were stupid to take a prototypical 4-3 DE and try to force him into a 3-4, but it's their pick. They've stuck with precedent that many teams in the NFL have and they've come a long way to try to meet Bosa's demands.

Looks like he's demanding an unconditional surrender by the Chargers here and that's just not going to happen.

What a bizarre situation made possible only by two parties being as stupid as possible.

yeah, it takes two dummies to tango...and the agent is supposed to know when to say 'when' (even if 'when' is "the management is a bunch of assholes, but you need to sign regardless)

jesus, he could be in a car wreck tomorrow...pull your head out and take the $$$ they are trying to give you, they're paying you to swallow a bit of pride (and who's pride? the player or the agent's?)


and from the full charger statement:

"As a result, we will restructure our offer since Joey will be unable to contribute for the full 16-game season without the adequate time on the practice field, in the classroom, and in preseason games."

Who else other than Eli Manning has said that they didn't want to play for the Chargers?

Didn't the 2 picks around him get what he's asking for? With the slotting system it's hard to imagine not getting a guy signed.

It's all about offset language and how much of his bonus is being paid up front.

The Chargers and Bosa are now in a stare-down, each side not blinking, over two issues: 1. Payment terms on a signing bonus exceeding $17 million; and 2. The inclusion (or not) of offset language, giving the Chargers financial relief if Bosa were released during the contract and signed elsewhere.
Regarding payment terms on the bonus, Bosa’s camp wants the full bonus paid by the end of the calendar year while the Chargers want to push roughly half of the $17 million until March, when the new fiscal and league years begin. As to offset language, the Chargers have precedent for offset in their rookie contracts, although they haven’t had a pick nearly this high in this new CBA era. (And they did pay Philip Rivers $32 million in the past calendar year, nearly twice the amount of Bosa’s bonus.)
