I have a feeling this is going to happen to the Chargers again if that's their policy. I'd love to see Bosa at a value pick in next yrs draft though, wouldn't it be something if the Chargers stuck it to him by redrafting him

I see their point but the fact still remains, SD does not do business that way and that's the team he got drafted to. There is nothing that says they have to remove the offset language and/or pay the entire bonus after year 1. Just because other teams do it (mostly typical bottom feeders anyways), does not mean they have to do it. The ball is in SD's court

If you think the York's are inept, be glad you're not a Charger's fan. The Spanos' family are as inept as they come. This is all history repeating itself, remember the Eli manning/Rivers trade fiasco, firing Schottenheimer after a 12 and 4 season, chasing LT and Drew breeze out of town, screwing the city of San Diego out of negotiating a new stadium there since 2004? They do whatever the hell they want no matter how stupid it looks to everybody else.
Originally posted by SoCold:I think you're strawmannirg a little bit here.... The Eli/Rivers trade happened on "Draft Day", shocking the entire league and fan base. Alex got hurt, Kap played well, so Alex got traded. Harbaugh was fired after going 8 and 8, and the team was on the decline, SD was peaking. As far as stadiums, York at least got a stadium built, Spanos' have been trying since 2000 and still don't know where they'll end up. LT and Breeze are HOFers, that could still play, Patrick Willis and Justin Smith retired due to injuries and couldn't play anymore. Apples and oranges bro. At best maybe you could say the Spanos' are the York's on drugs. lol

Hmm
Eli Manning / Rivers trade fiasco. vs Alex Smith / Kap trade fiasco.
Firing Schotty after 12-4 season. vs Firing Harbaugh after 3 straight NFCCG and a SB appearance.
Chasing LT and Breeze out of town vs Chasing all the "retired" FA players out of town.
Screwing the city of SD vs Screwing the city of SF
sounds the same to me

The Alex trade was a fiasco?

As you well know, Justin Smith and Patrick Willis retired because they felt they had to, they certainly weren't chased out of town, and neither was Chris Borland. Whilst the situation regarding Anthony Davis was less amicable he certainly wasn't chased into retirement, he made the decision himself.
Stop trolling.

If SD refuses to cave, they stand to have blown the 3rd overall pick because of the FO foolishness trying to set their own precedent. Bosa on the other hand can go back into the draft and end up playing for another team, albeit for less money than he would get now and losing a year but he still gets paid and gets a chance to play and if he can play up to his talent level then he still stands to make bank on his second contract.
SD has more to lose here than Bosa by not giving Bosa what the precedent has set. If this exact same issue happened with Buckner, would you be blaming DeFo or Baalke/York ?
