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

i'm curious to know which party decided to die on 'this' hill: bosa or his agent?
does a drafted player have any real concern for whatever contract language is in dispute unless his agent sells him on caring?

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

I think Laz would be a better GM than Telesco.

That literally shocked me that they took him for their scheme, I am a huge Ohio State fan, and I will tell you Bosa is unreal. The kid is unblockable one on one, he is relentless. He played some stand up LB/hybrid stuff at OSU, and it wasn't his best fit. He is a machine in regards to rushing and stopping the run, and he can play inside or out in the 4-3, but the 3-4 is not a great fit for him. He would make plays in the 3-4 because he is just relentless, but square peg, round hole IMO.

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.

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. |
