Different GM but same owner

He said it was coming down to offset language. If Bosa is cut at some point during the years of the deal - he wants his full guaranteed money guaranteed, even if he signs with another team. Teams like to use offset language to claw back some guaranteed money if the player gets a job with another team after they are cut. They feel the player is double dipping, where the player's position is - 'guaranteed money is guaranteed money and if you cut me, it's on you'. That's kind of how I understood it anyway.

Also said Condon is a good agent and not a problem to work with and is just doing what the player wants. Threw cold water on the 'history with SD' talk as that was a whole different gm regime and Condon works with all teams, said an agent would be foolish to only work with 31 teams.

Lastly he said Bosa's Dad was in the league for years and so his son is not coming at things from a position of greed or ignorance. He suspects when all the leverage is gone, he will sign a deal and report. Same as Bradford did when his options disappeared

Possible conversation between GM and owner.

GM - Can we budge on ONE of the sticking points?
Owner - NO!!!

New GM regime, same story.

  Not Rams....but....what to make of this Joey Bosa issue?

RockRam1334August 25, 2016 02:29AM

  And his mommy weighed in on it too which is a BIG red flag

LesBaker1002August 25, 2016 05:01AM

  both ends are greedy.....

Rampage2K-496August 25, 2016 05:51AM

  He wants the money all in the first year

LesBaker511August 25, 2016 05:59AM

  Re: He wants the money all in the first year

Rampage2K-972August 25, 2016 06:05AM

  It's a matter of just months

LesBaker596August 25, 2016 06:46AM

  I think that's all just an excuse....his mom let it slip...

SunTzu_vs_Camus470August 25, 2016 07:00AM

  I will say, I do NOT see his fit with the Chargers.

RockRam410August 25, 2016 07:08AM

  EXACTLY, RR !!!!! Bosa is a silly fit in that 3-4 defense. imo

SunTzu_vs_Camus417August 25, 2016 07:14AM

  I think he's a lot like JJ Watt

9er8er510August 25, 2016 03:59PM

  Re: dude would fit right in with the Rams nm

Speed_Kills433August 25, 2016 04:55PM

  Watt 3 X Defensive MVP?

Kind of Blue/Gold394August 25, 2016 06:47PM

  Doubtful he's Watt

9er8er335August 25, 2016 07:21PM

  Bullied?

BobCarl430August 25, 2016 02:35PM

  would you trade a 2nd rounder or two for him???

SunTzu_vs_Camus541August 25, 2016 06:32AM

  too late....

Rampage2K-527August 25, 2016 06:39AM

  What makes you think getting traded would change his stance

LesBaker596August 25, 2016 06:44AM

  Bosa needs to sign like every other rookie

Rams43457August 25, 2016 06:50AM

  SD and Condon have a history

Kind of Blue/Gold461August 25, 2016 09:48AM

  Re: at this point if I were Bosa

merlin427August 25, 2016 10:04AM

  I'd be surprised/shocked if he doesn't sign before the season

Kind of Blue/Gold427August 25, 2016 10:13AM

  There is also this

LesBaker490August 25, 2016 10:16AM

  SD hasn't had a pick higher than #11 since 2011

Kind of Blue/Gold488August 25, 2016 10:22AM

  I think you are misunderstanding that point

LesBaker494August 25, 2016 10:31AM

  Are you saying Bosa is making more than Goff, OVERALL?

Kind of Blue/Gold417August 25, 2016 10:41AM

  I'll try again

  Kirwan had some good info on this yesterday

promomasterj574August 25, 2016 10:25AM

  Then this kid is even more delusional than I thought.

RockRam485August 25, 2016 10:32AM

  The organization is even more delusional than I thought.

Kind of Blue/Gold414August 25, 2016 10:47AM

  From the reporting I get NOBODY pays the full SB in one lump sum

RockRam445August 25, 2016 12:29PM

  I've heard NOBODY has been asked to make BOTH concessions

Kind of Blue/Gold408August 25, 2016 08:19PM

  Joey Bosa situation part of a decades-old pattern for SD

Kind of Blue/Gold419August 25, 2016 11:18PM

  Different GM but same owner

Kind of Blue/Gold463August 25, 2016 10:52AM

  Just curious, why do most fans take the club's side on things like this?

promomasterj443August 25, 2016 10:38AM

  In this case the player is pretty much wrong

LesBaker545August 25, 2016 01:29PM

  Thing is, there is not one dime difference.

RockRam430August 25, 2016 02:16PM

  My understanding

9er8er474August 25, 2016 03:48PM

  And thats not how it works and he isn't going to change things

LesBaker407August 25, 2016 04:21PM

  Wait, are you now saying no players negotiate

Kind of Blue/Gold427August 25, 2016 08:42PM

  It is best if you both....

73Ram475August 26, 2016 08:35AM

  So don't draft him if they can't offer a standard contract

Kind of Blue/Gold387August 25, 2016 09:27PM

  Re: This article makes it look likeā€¦

dzrams414August 26, 2016 03:29PM

  SD may be bickering over essentially $30,000 in interest

Kind of Blue/Gold396August 27, 2016 12:24PM

  So greed is ok for NFL and teams, not for players?

promomasterj424August 25, 2016 02:27PM

  Chargers are cheap

Kind of Blue/Gold428August 26, 2016 08:34AM

  I don't think most fans do

9er8er489August 25, 2016 03:09PM

  I blame the Chargers

GreatRamNTheSky383August 26, 2016 01:39AM

  Agreed - a few articles explaining the respective positions

Kind of Blue/Gold380August 26, 2016 08:59AM

  Article: NFL GMs laughing at Chargers for ruining Joey Bosa's rookie season

canadaram527August 27, 2016 05:04AM

  I'm tellin ya....I think the Ram make a play for him in the reg season....

SunTzu_vs_Camus449August 27, 2016 08:38AM

  And these are the guys the NFL wants to bunk the Rams with

Old Goat433August 27, 2016 01:24PM

  SD/Bosa finally come to an agreement on contract impasse
