Chargers release Joey Bosa

[Pola_pe_a]

He's going to play with his brother!

That's the only way they'll have a Bosa for 17 games. Guys should be the Johnson & Johnson brothers for as much time as they spend in the training room.

Did anyone watch him play last year? He did not look effective to me.

He played 14 games, started in 9. He had 5 sacks and 13 QB hits. 5 TFLs. 456 defensive snaps.

He has had injury issues. Signing him would be taking a chance but I think he can still play at 29. Can they get lucky and get 15 or more games out of him? But he is not the pass rusher he once was. He'd be better than Lawson though. It depends on how much money he wants.

Short answer is no I havent really watched Bosa player recently, but his numbers dont seem to be that bad if he is healthy. He averaged a pressure about every 8.8 snaps last year. A sack every 57 passing snaps. To compare Parsons is about 6.1 and 30.5. So he clearly isnt at that elite level, but still produces at maybe a 3rd tier type of pass rusher when on the field.

His pressure rates and times seem to be pretty in line with a guy like Dorrance Armstrong so that could be a comparable contract for Bosa to look for. Elevated injury risk but also a better run defender. I'd probably roll the dice on him if he is in the 1-3 year/ $11-13M per year range.

He’s not one of our own aging, often injured guys… so hard pass.
Or, we have the money right…, RIGHT?

 

[atlantacowboy]

He'll probably end up in Washington.

Only started 18 games the last 3 years. Just 14 sacks. A bigger name more than anything now.

He would be a very shaky signing at this point. There isn't any evidence to suggest he could stay healthy anywhere close to the entire season.

Health aside that is very good production actually. 18 games is basically 1 game over a season so yes that is a LOT of missed games but if you think of it as him basically averaging about 13-13.5 sacks a year, if he could stay healthy, suddenly the risk to reward ratio shoots up.

My thoughts as well. The injury risk is there, and he can't be a guy you sign and just label a position taken care of without a plan B, but the production when he is playing still seems to be fine. Its not the elite level guy who was a top 3 draft pick, but he is still can get after the QB, and at 6'5" 280lbs he can hold up in the run game and even kick inside as needed. I would look at him as a slight DLaw upgrade.

 

[cald0d30s0]

He'll probably end up in Washington.

Or Eagles.

 

[jazzcat22]

His availability would be better than DLaw's.
Bring him on in based on that.

 

[OmerV]

Situational pass rusher keep him healthy that way

You think he would be okay with the salary of a situational pass rusher?

 

[maryquality]

But isn't his brother better?

 

[Coogiguy03]

yeah can't pay him what he just got cut for, he's not worth that anymore, 1 year 7-9 million, cool!

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Pretty much what I said, wonder why the one guy on here didn't question you!!??

because THEY aren't...married.

 

[Coogiguy03]

because THEY aren't...married.

Why would anyone marry them anyways!!!!???

 

[SuperBowlz]

1) San Fran
2) Washington
3) Detroit
4) Philly

 

[dmq]

Well he has an injury history, so he fits at least one parameter of us signing him to a long term deal.

 

[OmerV]

I'm all for paying him $7 million. I'm just not convinced he would be

 

[KJJ]

While I agree Malik Hooker was like that as well and now we can’t get him off the field..

Hooker doesn’t cost what Bosa will.

 

[Praxit]

...yep, age in the NFL is worst enemy. All those years going against 300+ lineman. Takes a chunk out of you.

I reckon he has at least 2-3 yrs good in him. Sign him up, Jerry. Release Dlaw get Bosa.

 

[FVSTONE]

Probably ends up in Dallas.

He's probably headed to the bay area to play with his younger and better brother.
