Compromise, with off-set language to ruin all future negotiations with every other rookie and free agent until this front office and owner is replaced.Wonder what the terms look like...
So Bosa won.
Awesome.
He gets all his $17 mil signing bonus up front, which is exactly what he wanted. The offset language is nothing, and only allows the Chargers to save face, somewhat. So, yeah, Bosa won, and won huge...I'm not use either side actually won; I think the money amount was fixed by his draft position from the beginning and didn't change. Maybe he got more guaranteed and/or more of the bonus in the first year I don't know.

That's not the point. The point is that all top-5 signees since 2012 (except for Zeke and the QB picked #2 this year) got their signing bonus up front. If you were due a $20,000 bonus but your employer wanted to defer $4,000 of it for six months, you'd be pissed, but in some homeless guy's eyes he'd wonder why you were complaining...it's a matter of both perspective and principle.To an ordinary person like me, if I was to get a $17M signing bonus I wouldn't care if part of the money is deferred to 2017 or not. As long I was was guaranteed of getting the entire $17M. Come on now, how much better off would you be by getting $17M now verses $12M now and $5M in early 2017?
