Not so fast, my friends!

People are starting to make it pretty clear, despite SD's PR efforts, that the Chargers are actually being basically unreasonable.

Interesting situation continues.

I think they outlined it pretty clearly. Assuming all that is true, what could they possibly be being unreasonable about? Their offer is way over comparables.

Good for them. Bosa can sit on it and spin if he doesn't like it.

Maybe he's taking a paycut, and that burns no matter what. Anyone know what he was making at OSU?

The gold pants-to-tattoo exchange rate in SoCal was a very difficult adjustment for Bosa...

He wants to get paid now because even he knows he's a bust.


I said from the beginning...I hope Dallas takes him because he's got bust written all over him. The comparisons to Watt were absurd.

I can't embed from my phone, but the @NFLDraftScout guy on Twitter (good follow) made it clear that the Chargers want offsetting language AND a signing bonus deferment in the contract, which is something that no other top-5 pick has had since the new CBA.

So even though SD made the smart public play about how sweet the deal is that they're offering, Bosa seems to have a legit gripe.

I personally think both sides suck and should do better, for the record. It's just unfair to lay it all on Bosa.

Yup. NFL Draft Scout dude is right.

I hate Meyer, Ohio State, and Bosa more than any of you. But even I am willing to call a spade a spade.

this is 100% on the Chargers. That stupid twitter release was just PR on their part to try and make them look less like the dumb cheap assholes that they are.

Really? Because both Wentz and Ezekiel Elliott have bonus deferment in their contracts.

People are essentially looking for anything they can to say it isn't fair, but it's better than any defensive player in the draft. If the Chargers would have passed, he would be getting paid less because of the position he would have been drafted in. Bosa immediately talked shit about their franchise and demanded everything with zero compromise. Fuck him.

I 100% agree.

They've already gone above what they have done in the past. He's given nothing.

Hey don't get mad at me haha, I was just relaying what a pretty smart and plugged-in guy said.

I thought it was about offsetting language IN ADDITION TO deferred bonus money, which other top 5 picks haven't had to compromise on, which is what the chargers want. Unless I'm misunderstanding, or unless that's what you meant, and Matt Miller is wrong about the other top-5 picks and their contracts.

The other top 5 picks didn't talk shit about their teams, demand the highest salary and bonus ever at their position since the CBA. He made it a public fight and now the deadline for trading picks has passed. Because that deadline has passed, he holds no cards. He can continue to act like the Chargers are being unreasonable, but they are the ones that drafted him higher than projected, offered him more money than any defensive player and all the while getting blasted by this shithead since the draft.

He holds zero cards and called their bluff. Now he can take a worse offer or go to next year's draft. Good luck young man.

No harshness meant to you, btw. Just comin in hot. lol

Agree, Bosa and his camp fired the first shots before ever seeing an offer.

no he had right the first time. The Chargers are one of the ultimate joke franchises in NFL history. Not quite on par with the Lions and Browns, but not that far behind.

Joey Bosa, you should have taken an economics course at OSU. Sorry, I forgot. They don't let jocks take real courses there.

Why is he even concerned about the offset language? Unless he's an absolute Trent Richardson type bust the offset language is going to be pointless. Also why does he care when his bonus is paid out? Is he really that strapped for cash that he cant wait a few extra months? Even in a worst case scenario he will be with the team for at least one calendar year and make all of the bonus money regardless.

Bosa is being a bitch. He probably didn't want to get drafted by SD and now he's played himself.

So you don't think he should take any responsibility for his behavior and the Chargers should have to essentially give him a contract commiserate with a 1st overall pick?

Ok then.

Exactly this... Bosa is trying to change the system, he wants things that has never been done and thinks he deserves it without playing a snap... Are the Chargers morons, probably, but I don't blame them here
