Joey Bosa is in the building.

At last.

The Chargers have signed their No. 3 overall pick, the team announced. He is in San Diego, set to have his first practice with the team Tuesday. Bosa had been absent from the club since mid-June, as the team and his agent worked to settle a contract dispute that largely centered on the payout of his $17 million signing bonus.

The dispute has been settled.

Bosa has a chance now to be on the field Sept. 11 for the season opener against the Chiefs. His role, however, could be limited initially as he works himself into football shape. It is possible that Darius Philon will start at left defensive end while Bosa, 21, works in the Chargers' substitute packages. All of that will be determined in advance of the opener.

The key thing for the Chargers was to get Bosa here first.

The team issued a short news release announcing the deal, with no details:

The San Diego Chargers announced Monday they have signed 2016 first-round selection defensive end Joey Bosa to a four-year contract.

This was child's play compared to Bryant McKinnie's holdout. That lasted half the season in 2002.

Different cba though. This nonsense isn't supposed to happen anymore.

Which side cracked?

Well, the deal has offset language, but SD also altered their "best and final" deal...

Chargers sweeten language of training-camp roster bonuses, signing bonus payout to get deal done

Per a league source with knowledge of the situation, the kicker came from the team’s willingness to apply language that makes it easier for Bosa to earn $6.5 million in guaranteed training-camp roster bonuses. Specifically, he gets the training-camp roster bonuses if he’s on any type of “active” list, including the non-football injury or non-football illness list.

Training-camp roster bonuses have become an alternative to the removal of offset language from a player’s guaranteed money at the top of the draft. Multiple players, however, have language in their contracts that allow the roster bonuses to not be paid if the player is on the NFI list. For example, Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordanlost $1.7 million this year because of a knee injury that caused him to land on the non-football injury list. Other players have a similar term in their contracts.

Bosa doesn’t, which ensures he’ll get the training-camp roster bonuses unless he’s on a “reserve” list when the money comes due.

True, but I sided with the player over the cheapskate owner in both situations.

Chargers CFO John Spanos said the offer would only go down, but they were able to reach a compromise yesterday.

Chargers caved, twice.
