On the other hand, if there are scenarios that allow the team to get out of paying the money (like say, killing your fiance's sister's boyfriend) then I can understand Bosa wanting the money NOW.
Deferred would mean lost value (present value versus future value) but mainly its control. If Joey Bosa goes Maurice Clarett, deferred money can be withheld by the team if they or the League feel they have cause. Money paid upfront is harder to get back.
