Bosa rejects Chargers "best" offer

[Kiimo]

Look I'm sorry about the facepalm but please try to understand this isn't about greed. This is about an organization who does stupid stuff to their employees all the time and are poorly run. It's why Eli left. They're terrible. Bosa just happens to already be wealthy so that he doesn't have to give in to the shitty contract. It sets a precedent going forward. That's why I used the (admittedly hyperbole) term heroic. Most of us would take the bad contract because whatever, give me that money I desperately need.

But the truth of the situation, money aside, is that it's a bad contract. The Chargers should get ****ed over for trying to pull it. Bosa will undoubtedly lose money on this but for me man I'm happy he's doing it because he's calling Spanos' insane bluff. The balls that takes (and the independent wealth) are impressive.

Hyperbole.

It's comparable to what's been given to most players since the new CBA took affect, and comparable to the contracts given to those slotted around him.

This is a standard contract that the Chargers have been doing for years.

Hell, even the new contract Rivers signed last season had a deferred payment. Apparently it's good enough for a Pro-Bowl QB, but not good enough for a rookie DE.
