Being a D-list celebrity will do that to you!
If you’ve ever watched their show it is easy to see that Kate literally pushed him out of their lives and had henpecked him since Day One. You honestly think someone who bad mouths him in public doesn’t do the same with her kids?! She is a vile parent that literally whores out her kids to keep that money train…
Right, and Bosa doesn’t want to wait, he wants it all up front NOW!! He’s getting top money despite being #3 which was a shock to almost everyone based on pre-draft tracking:
“Without offset language, it could unfortunately create the scenario where, as a player in that fourth year, if a player knows he has a million guaranteed from us and can go double dip and earn from another team, it actually in essence creates an incentive to get cut financially. You can make more money getting cut.”
They upped their offer another 25%, that isn’t exactly being stubborn.
How is he the best football player in the draft if he ended up at #3, and was considered a surprise to get picked at that slot?
It’s a well known fact that the Chargers were secretive about wanting him, and he’s not being paid “less”dummy, he wants his entire bonus up front instead of waiting THREE WHOLE MONTHS to get the other $2.5mil...despite not having even played a down of NFL football...as a DE, which is nowhere near as important a pick…
Yup:
which guaranteed them their signing bonus before the end of the 2016 season
With the offset he can leave after 4 years, take the Chargers remaining money PLUS the next team’s i.e. “double dip”.
That’s over FOUR years:
They went from 60 to 85% for a DE that will do little to make them a contender. QBs can get that because they build teams around them, not someone like Bosa whose 4th on their depth chart!
None of those guys you listed was a top 5 pick, and only two were in the first round at #6 and 21...and they traded both of them eventually. This guy wants more guarenteed money than a QB...at #1! He refuses to wait 3 mos. to get his remaining $2.5mil. as a guy 4th on their depth chart!
You tell me why a DE picked at #3 (and by many outlets too high) deserves more guarenteed money upfront than the #1 who is a QB that they are building a team around?? So you think it’s better he sit out a year, lose $17 mil., re-enter the draft at a far lower position only to get far less up front...because he refused…
The Patriots have done it for almost 16 years! The Chargers are a mess and this guy was in no way going to make them good probably even 5 years from now...when he’d be gone anyways. Christ, there was already talk about getting rid of Rivers! And he was a surprise by most to be the #3. He’s a #3 that many thought was…
Right, Aug. 9th they had to trade him, but still doesn’t give him leverage because he loses his money, his year of playing and a lower draft slot a year from now. The Chargers just lose a guy that wasn’t going to make them suddenly competitive, like Wentz would.
That isn’t leverage, the Chargers will retain their $17 million, he’ll miss an entire year and drop farther down in the draft and make less. The Chargers weren’t suddenly going to become great by starting a dsefensive end, hence why Wentz got 95% guarenteed. Another DE will step in, they’ll still be mediocre, and that…
Nope, he’s a rookie and def. not someone you build a team around. He sits out, he loses all of that money, a year of playing time not to mention he loses a year to hit free agency earlier. Then he has to go into next year’s draft against guys as talented, if not more that are willing to take that $17 mil. any way they…
