Thread: Bosa still unsigned

  1. #41
    Bosa will be a dud.

  2. #42
    I doubt it. Bosa will be a solid, but unspectacular player, and play for like 10 years before retiring to anonymity.

    PFT reporting still nothing happening, no talks or anything. This seems like such a lose-lose situation if they don't come to an agreement SOON. I think the team has more leverage because if both stand firm and he loses the season, he never gets the money back. The amount of egg on the GM's face for squandering a top 5 pick is not insignificant either though.

    Gota love that they're selling his jersey at the NFL store! Didn't know they'd assigned him a number...

    Well they are using the heavy canon today. Chargers threatening to withdraw offer in PR statement about how wonderful his contract is. Bosa's agent is fighting back on Twitter.

    San Diego Chargers ‏@Chargers
    Statement from the San Diego Chargers on defensive end Joey Bosa.

    THERE ARE TWO DEAD GIVEAWAYS THAT THE CHARGERS ARE BULLSHITTING YOU IN THIS STATEMENT. SEE IF YOU AGREE.



    Andrew Brandt @AndrewBrandt
    People, Joey Bosa is not sitting out the year out of spite over some deferred money. The Chargers know that and are leveraging it.

    Chris B. Brown ‏@smartfootball 46m46 minutes ago
    Left unsaid is SD is trying to stick Bosa with a set of contractual terms no top 5 pick has agreed to post CBA
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Chargers friendly view: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/...to-be-charger/

    Their initial offer was to pay Bosa, the third overall pick in the draft, about 60 percent of his signing bonus by Dec. 31 and the rest by mid-March. That was commensurate with what fourth pick Ezekiel Elliott got from the Dallas Cowboys but less upfront cash than what every other top-seven pick received.
    Yes, Ayrault/Bosa has come off the offset language, but that was never going to be in play. Ayrault knew that. And, by the way, just two of this year’s other six top-seven picks do not have offset language.

    Bosa's agent: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...presentatives/

    We will say, that it is ironic that the team now takes issue with the timing of Joey’s arrival, since the Chargers unilaterally decided to remain silent for the first 14 days of training camp instead of replying in a timely fashion to the proposal we made on the eve of training camp on July 28th.

    The Union Tribune article says AJ Smith got into these types of battles because he liked to do it. Claims Spanos is not of that tradition.

    Does anyone know why the Mannings told the Chargers not to draft Eli?

    chargers are a joke

    He should have pulled an Eli. I don't know why anyone would want to go play for those shit bag clowns

    You forget to mention a pretty BIG item of note...

    Watt weighed 290 at the combine.

    Bosa weighed 269.

    Still think they are equal?
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    Well, JJ Watt is the best defender is the league, so I highly doubt Joey Bosa will turn out to be that. Their combine performance was very similar. They were both dominant players in college. I really like Joey Bosa and would take him in a second. Put a little weight on him and you have a poor man's JJ Watt at the 3-4 DE.

    For someone that has not even stepped onto a pro TC field , there sure is a lot of activity . The last time I saw so many guys jaws drop , Kathy Ireland was on the cover of Sports Illustrated .

    If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !

    Sure seems that way, doesn't it? Bosa is likely out this week due to a hamstring problem:

    .... and the hamstring continues to keep him on the sideline.
    Bosa has been declared out for week 2, and they are saying it is doubtful he will practice the upcoming week, so is unlikely to play next week.
    He has yet to even practice in pads.

    Burnett caught it from Matthews. It is highly contagious.
