POLL Does Bosa Play For The Chargers This Year?

[HammerDown]

Joey Bosa was a wasted pick.

Yes lots poorly run organizations in the NFL and yes things can change quickly. Still I consider the Chargers the least desirable place for a player to land.

I'd consider it near the very top despite Dean Spanos.

Well they got the great weather and lots to do and see going for them.

The rest of the NFL thinks the Chargers run their org like morons.

Never trust ANYTHING without a name attached to it.

The best thing the Chargers can do is not throw good after bad. Save the Money, it gets rolled over each year, this guy was always going to be a bust. If the #3 overall pick is wasted fine, it happens, but to then waste millions in cap space makes no sense. 99.9% of the time teams do not get this much insight into the character of a person before handing over money.

Next year when he is drafted in the 4th round, he MIGHT make it as a situational back up.

#3 picks are awarded because your team is fucking horrible. Wasting that should piss off any Charger fan. I don't see why anyone thinks he's just going to bust, he was the best pass rusher in the country two years running, he can play inside and outside, and he has probably the block shedding hands we've seen since Watt was drafted. If the Chargers are fine with wasting the pick because they view him as a bust, I would cancel my season tix if I was a Charger fan. What a horrible way to run an org, par for the course though.

"I’m blown away,” Spanos said. “At all costs I wanted to avoid going down this road. They made it overly clear we had no other option." - John Spanos

Must be that Joey Bosa doesn't want to be a Charger

Evidently John Spanos and I have different understanding of "at all cost". If he flew down there, he should have paid the kid what he wanted, and included the offset language like Bosa was willing to accept. Instead of having his prized 3rd overall in camp, now both parties look bad (Chargers looks worse at this point).

He just signed.

Funny how the Chargers didn't disclose details of the contract with this announcement. Wonder who 'won'.

Fully guaranteed when? Does he get it all right away as he wanted, or is it split like the Chargers wanted?

That's the intrigue.

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Heh

 

[Broncos6482]

Heh

Yeah the tweet made it sound that Bosa got what he wanted without actually saying that.

The reality is both probably cracked because the Chargers said they were taking the deal off the table...that probably spurred Bosa/agent to take the original deal.

Good to see the kid finally signed.

Are you just assuming that's the case, or have you seen it reported that's what happened?

Assuming...there are enough reports out there now stating largest SD signing bonus ever, but still some deferred and offset language is in place.

But it doesn't say anywhere that it was the same deal that the Chargers supposedly pulled off the table. My guess is that the Chargers "best" offer wasn't really their best offer after all.
