The Bosa thread - Who is to blame, the Bolts or Bosa?

GBPH, off topic but didn't the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor?

Animal, right?

I'm kinda split on the Bosa thing because I don't really understand it fully.

What I believe to be true is that Bosa would like 100% of his signing bonus paid now and the Chargers want to spread it out over two or more years. IMHO that's not the way it works with a signing bonus and the Chargers simply saying "but we've always done it this way" doesn't make it correct. Neither does upping it to 85%.

Rookies deals are slotted anyway so he's not negotiating the amount of the contract only how the money is to be paid. Typically they receive a large signing bonus and a minimum salary year one that escalates each year thereafter but overall that signing bonus is where most of there money comes from in that rookie contract.

So have I got this correct. If so them I'd say it's the Chargers who are chiseling here not Bosa.
