This has been debated for some time so let's put a poll to the test. I think he re-enters the draft.
He's more than welcome to miss week 1.
Considering their history, you should be hoping for them to change the way they do business.I'm at the point where I don't expect Baby Bosa to play for the Chargers, so if it happens it'll be a nice surprise. He SHOULD sign and play this season, because it'll be much more damaging to his career to have the petty holdout of when he gets his guaranteed money be worth missing a year of NFL action and millions of dollars. I understand he said what he wanted and what the Chargers offered early on seemed way off that, but now that they're pretty damn close to what he's asked for he needs to get over himself and play the game he's getting paid all this money to play. The Chargers may be idiots, but that was already known. They don't want to change how they do business for 1 guy, even if you think how they do business is stupid. I want him on the team because he can be an impact player for a defense that needs more of them, but I question his commitment to the team in this situation. As a fan, all I can do is enjoy watching players I know will be playing this season like Rivers, Allen, Gates, Verrett, etc and worry about Baby Bosa when he signs.
beat that drum...it's like you're pushing a candidate for an election or something.Considering their history, you should be hoping for them to change the way they do business.

A division rival should draft Bosa at some point for shits and giggles.He re-enters and lose a shit load of money. This will be hilarious
One other interesting tidbit for him re-entering the draft: The team drafting him could very well have deferred money AND the off-set. Why? Because Bosa has no choice but to sign at that point. Threatening to re-enter the draft only works once, if that. Once you do that, you have no more leverage. There's no player out there that would re-enter the draft twice.I voted sign before week one...the only caveat to that...the Chargers leave the original money on the table...if they truly do yank that...he might say fuck it...live in mom's basement for a yr and re-enter next yr.
Look, regardless of which side you fall on, Joey has to sign.
Going back into the draft is not a viable option, not only for the money, but lost playing time. The guy was already a tweener and had many teams doubting his viability in the NFL. Taking a year away from football is not going to help those concerns, especially with other pass-rushers entering the draft that are likely to be fresher in the minds of teams and, heck, maybe even better overall anyway.
Re-entering the draft means he's going to slide well past #3. Heck, it's likely that with guys coming out this year, he's not even the best option at DE in the next draft. If he falls out of the top 10, that's a massive bonus hit and of course salary hit. Then add in that if he still goes in the first round, and plays well, he's going to end up with a 5 year contract once the team that re-drafts him picks up the 5th year option, and then he could be Franchised in year 6 or even year 7 if the team were so inclined. I doubt all of that happens, but the lost bonus money and then losing a year of earning potential towards Free Agency is money he can never recoup.
I get taking a stand, I understand why he wants what he's asking for, but the CBA is set up so that rookies coming into the league don't have much leverage. There's a reason for that, as teams were tired of paying guys who have never played a snap in the NFL as if they were 4-5-6 year veterans who had already proved they belonged.

God forbid I discuss a topic that I find interesting.beat that drum...it's like you're pushing a candidate for an election or something.

Once he signs he'll have nothing to prove and no incentive to do well until late into his 3rd year.I think he signs after week 1 and then he has a lot to prove. he better be a damn good player
