Joey Bosa needs to fire his agent and then immediately sign with the San Diego Chargers. The third overall pick in the 2016 NFL draft out of Ohio State is the only first-round pick to be unsigned as of Wednesday, and it appears as if that won’t change anytime soon.

Chargers proposed to Joey Bosa what they made clear is their best offer, source says. It was declined. Offer pulled. Two sides are nowhere. — Michael Gehlken (@sdutGehlken) August 24, 2016

The contract scale for rookies under the current collective bargaining agreement gives both sides a fairly good idea of what the final figure will look like. The Chargers were even going to give him the most first-year money of any 2016 rookie except the No. 2 overall pick. #Chargers offer to Joey Bosa included the 2nd most Year 1 cash behind only Carson Wentz. Now, if he doesn’t play 16 games, it all changes — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 24, 2016

What happens if Bosa refuses to sign? Well, the Chargers cannot trade him right now because the deadline to trade his rights before the regular season has passed (it was Aug. 9). That means if there’s no deal, he just doesn’t play, and that’s an awful way to begin your career.

Missing games would be a bad look for Bosa on so many levels.

He’d be disrespecting his teammates (which he’s pretty much already doing right now), he’d be hurting his reputation around the league, the fans could begin to turn on him, and he’ll be behind when it comes to proving himself for a wealthy second contract.

By the way, Bosa has missed tons of valuable time with his coaches and in the film room during camp and the preseason. He’s not going to be prepared whenever he makes his debut, and it’s going to hurt his on-field performance.

This likely is a battle Bosa’s not going to win. He has no NFL pedigree, no Pro Bowl seasons or monster sack numbers to bolster his case. He’s just a defensive end who had a nice college career. Bosa must sign and do it soon. His entitled attitude is pathetic.

This. Couldn't have stated the lst paragraph better. This is my feeling exactly.
