Thank god we didn't draft Bosa

[xvendettax914]

If I'm chargers I let him go back Into next year's draft.

Why? you essentially lost your biggest chip in years for nothing if that's the case.

 

[CWR]

The agency that represents him asks for the same thing for all of their clients.
They have gotten it from all of them except for the Chargers.

I'm sure they are worried if they give in now, then that's it.

Dealings like this normally are not specifically the players asking for this or that. it is the agency representing him
Now, I guess he could fire his agency...not sure what the penalty would be though.

Bottom line is they work for him and profit off of his back. He needs to tell them to get it done and get his butt to work. Clearly Im jumping the gun but I dont foresee a long prosperous career for a jack wagon like this.

I think there is a window the league allows you to trade the rights of a pick. I think that window is long passed.

Thanks for the reply.

Should have traded him. They lose a 3rd pick overall

 

[Nightman]

Thanks for the reply.

the deadline was Aug 9th, 30 days before the start of the season...plus no teams have rookie cap pool money left to sign him if they were allowed to trade...its over

at this point it is sign with SD by Week 10 or back into the draft

Not that easy. Not every team would have had the rookie pool money to sign him, I believe.

 

[DFWJC]

Why do you think they can't trade him this season? Didn't the Chargers trade Eli after they drafted him?

There is a early deadline for that type of thing for rookies. I think it passed a week or two ago....not positive though.

the issues they are fighting for are almost meaningless to a star player...... he is getting 14.5m at signing instead of 17m and offset language is really only about getting cap space back if things go wrong.....it really doesn't impact the player, their contract is already 100% guaranteed no matter what

 

[MRV52]

Knucklehead, how many young men would love to be in your shoes. Disgraceful, I am so glad we passed on this guy as I was not really excited about him. I don't think this guy will mount to much.

It goes up if you trade from what I understand

 

[DFWJC]

Bosa wasn't at the top of my list to draft or anything like that.
But I stand with I said before the draft; he will go to several Pro Bowls during his career.

 

[DoctorChicken]

IIRC, this is all the Chargers' fault, not Bosa.

Despite what they're offering him now, he probably doesn't want to play for them at all. They have a long history of disrespecting players with lowball contracts and offsetting language.

About what I'm thinking at this point. I expect to see Bosa in the draft again. he's only 21, so it's not like a 24 year old rookie. Still plenty young to go back into the draft and hopefully find a better team to be drafted by.

 

[KDM256]

Bosa is a joke... I get contract negotiations are part of the NFL, but it comes a time where you have to man up, snap on the chin strap and play ball. If you don't want to play for the organization that drafted you than so be it. Bosa needs remember that no one is bigger than the game of football, especially not a overrated bum who performed okay against subpar big 10 offensive lines for 2 1/2 years.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Bosa still almost certainly will sign (I think?).... even dropping 10 picks next year will cost him gigantic cash. He will reluctantly sign the day before the season starts, likely guzzling beer and eating cheeseburgers every day to spite the team...

True.

But the player drafted before him and after him have the offset language and deferred bonus language in their contracts. So it's not like the Chargers are doing something no one else has done here.

 

[wileedog]

True.

But the player drafted before him and after him have the offset language and deferred bonus language in their contracts. So it's not like the Chargers are doing something no one else has done here.

But traditionally the top 3 have not accepted both of those terms. If I'm Bosa's agent my point is just because Wentz caved and signed a bad deal, what does that have to do with my client? If Wentz decided he loved football so much he would play for $50 bucks, does that mean Bosa has to?

I'd give the Chargers more sympathy if they didn't have a history of this and their owner wasn't the complete d-bag that he is.

 

[Nightman]

It goes up if you trade from what I understand

only if you trade him during the draft........once the draft ends the rookie pool money stays with the drafting team

 

[marius]

he just not want to play there, thats all

I don't..

I don't think there is any way he would be a top 10 pick again and he'll lose a lot of money if that happens.

This is all financial and it makes financial sense for him to play for the Chargers.
