So there you have it, teh Chargers are offering the #3 overall a contract similar to what was given to those slotted around him at #2 & #4.
The only caveats being #1 and #5, which traditionally don't do that anyway regardless of where they pick, which again, is rare for NFL teams.

Not a big deal . They'll have another shot at a top 5 pick next year.

WOW! People fighting over who's right.
Billionaire fighting with a future millionaire over money. Which, after is all said and done will leave both parties with more wealth than the vast majority on here could ever dream of having. Who the **** cares !!!

He's still getting millions. He's going to get it either way. Take what they are giving now and get to work!. It's that simple. I don't care whether other teams remove the offset language or not. He was selected by the Chargers. The Chargers want the offset language. Accept it or lose millions. It's really that simple. I have no sympathy for the player at all in this situation. He can piss off. You can facepalm me all you want. If I was offered a lucrative contract to work for someone and they were willing to give me a huge signing bonus, but spread it out over a couple of years, I would be insane to refuse it. If I walked away from that, I would have no one to blame but myself. Same with Bosa. I really hope that he loses out big time over this. He should.

The Chargers fired Schottenheimer after a 13-3 season, what do you expect from this clown organization.

I think it was 14-2. But yes, I agree. Stupidest organization ever. Who fires a coach that just took your team to the best record in football?

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. |

Anyone with an understanding of the situation knows the Chargers are the ones who screwed this whole thing up.
Here is a post someone made that goes over every detail https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comment...n_explanation/ TLDR version: "Basically, Bosa wants what everyone else in his position has received since the new CBA was put in place. He either wants his bonus money up front OR he wants no offset language. He's not asking for both, he just wants one or the other. Meanwhile the Chargers want to defer his bonus AND they want him to have offset language. They don't want to give in on either issue." Every 3rd overall pick under the new CBA has included either no offset language, or no deferral. The Chargers are demanding both. This is literally the worse contract offered for a top 3 pick since the CBA was changed. The Chargers are using "team precedent" as an excuse for their below market offer. The problem is the market is set by 32 teams, not just the Chargers. The Chargers tried to strong arm him into signing a below market contract, and it blew up in their face. People forget that they have had issues with hold outs before. Tomlinson, Rivers, Merriman all held out as well. And btw in case anyone suggest it, no the Chargers cannot draft him again If he re-enters the draft they will be barred from selecting him In short the Chargers should have traded out of the top 3 if they were unwilling to pay the price required for a top 3 pick. They didn't and now they are stuck. Last edited by Wildcat2005; 08-24-2016 at 02:42 PM.. |
