Chargers are ****ing stupid and possibly wasted a 3rd overall pick. Dumbasses.

I didn't get paid shit when I came out of school.

The Chargers wasted a 3rd round pick and are taking a terrible public beating for the way they do business, forcing them to TWEET out their offer.

Bosa comes off as a self-righteous, entitled douche who will ultimately lose millions of dollars and soil his reputation moving forward.

Who wins this one? Nobody.

Fans of the other 3 teams in the division?

People keep saying this like its a GIVEN........ Who is to say BOSA is not drafted in top 10 next year?

Yes, there is that. :D

Doesn't matter. He won't be top 5. No way in hell. Lets say he goes 6-10, he would lose millions.

Take Jack Conklin for example: #8 Overall and his contract is worth almost 16mill TOTAL. Currently, Bosa is set to make more than that in just his signing bonus alone. The drop off is substantial.

I dont think he or his family were thrilled being picked by the Chargers from the beginning. The Chargers are being cheapskates trying to keep both the deferred signing bonus and offset language in the contract. Which does appear to be on the douchey side of rookie contract deals, but not unheard of.

16 of the 20 top five picks from 2012-2015 either received their bonus by the end of their rookie season or had the offset language removed from their deal.

Bosa has said one or the other but not both which would be inline with most high pick rookie contracts. I dont get why you dont get rid of one to get him signed, but it is the Chargers.

The Chargers refuse. So you got a rookie who already has a sense of entitlement, who comes from a family thats well off (able and willing to hold out),and a team that is known as being cheapskates, and are here as well. The Chargers gambled here ala Eli Manning, picking an entitled diva knowing full well they were going to give him one of the more team friendly deals compared to most teams. The Chargers are morons picking this guy, and expecting him to take a worse deal than most of his peers in the same draft slot. Its pettiness on both sides at this point but this is Bosa's out if he really doesnt want to be there and the Chargers are just dumb no matter how you look at it.

Well maybe a few million is worth being on the team of his choice.

There has to be some "behind-the-scenes" NFLPA/agent pressure not to accept any deviation from the normal contractual structure. It could open up the potential for future situations like this to be a recurring problem...which the new CBA was intended to prevent.

The Chargers are the ones that are trying to "juke" the system...and the owners ego is preventing him from the realization that he's not going to get his way. Publishing the contractual situation was intended to paint Bosa as being unreasonable...petty, under-handed move.

This is the real problem, ****ing chargers

I definitely don't agree with that. His family is pretty well off, so I'm sure he doesn't feel any pressure to take something he doesn't feel is right. That being said, I think the Chargers and the Bosa's are pretty ridiculous. If its guaranteed money, who cares if it comes 8 months later. I cannot believe he is willing to sit out a year, but then again, I don't come from a family with money. I would never pass money like that.

I think at this point Bosa doesn't even want to be a Charger and since he doesn't care about the money that's being offered at this point.

Didn't know Bosa's great grandfather was Chicago mob boss Tony Accardo (Big Tuna), used to also work as a hitman under Al Capone in his early yrs. That's ****ing cool, and note to self, don't ever mess with that family or try to **** them over LMAO.

Wonder what kind of vetting the Chargers did on that. Those ****ers are still around too and are (and have been) in bed w/ the Daley's for decades. In a big city like that I'm sure they still carry some kind of pull.

Not getting his whole signing bonus up front costs him money.

what do you think the extra 7 million is worth over a years time?

How is he going to get the team of his choice being in the draft again?
