I just pulled this from an article on ESPN.
The Chargers said in a statement that they presented Bosa with an offer Tuesday night that included:
an initial signing-bonus payment that is larger than any rookie has received in the past two NFL drafts;
more money in 2016 than every rookie in this year's class except the Philadelphia Eagles' Carson Wentz;
the "largest payment and the highest percentage of signing bonus received in the first calendar year" of any Chargers first-round pick since the adoption of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement in 2011.
This is more on the player than the team and they just pulled the offer.
IMO they are going to let him stew on this while he isn't cashing checks maybe he will come around.
What is the point? Of course he is making more. That is a clumsy, ham-handed, misleading and deceptive point by SD and they know it. That is on SD.
Again, he was drafted third, of course he is going to make more than anybody but Wentz (Goff made a concession on this to get no offset language), more than #4, #5, #6. Right? Perhaps the #1 and #2 last year made similar concessions to Goff? Anyway, none of this has any bearing on the fact that NO player in Bosa's position since 2011 has been asked to make the DOUBLE concession on offset language AND bonus payment timing. THAT is on SD.
