Chargers pull offer to Joey Bosa, say value to team in '16 'jeopardized' by time missed.

[Greenbacks]

The San Diego Chargers announced Wednesday they had pulled their offer to unsigned first-round draft choice Joey Bosa after he rejected their "best offer."
The Chargers said in a statement they presented Bosa with an offer on Tuesday night that included:

• an initial signing bonus payment that is larger than any rookie has received in the last two NFL drafts,
• more money in 2016 than every rookie in this year's class except the Philadelphia Eagles' Carson Wentz,
• and the "largest payment and the highest percentage of signing bonus received in the first calendar" of any Chargers first-round pick since the adoption of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement in 2011.

The Chargers said Bosa rejected the offer on Wednesday.
"The offer that we extended was for Joey to contribute during all 16 games and beyond. Joey's ability to contribute for an entire rookie season has now been jeopardized by the valuable time he has missed with his coaches and his teammates," the team said in the statement.
"Since Joey will not report at this time, his ability to produce not just early in the season, but throughout the entire season, has been negatively impacted.
"As a result, we will restructure our offer since Joey will be unable to contribute for the full 16 game season without the adequate time on the practice field, in the classroom, and in preseason games."

This guy needs to get his ass to camp...I think his agent is giving some bad advice but maybe they are trying to force a trade to another team.

What a disaster.

Not sure if there is a long term rookie holdout that ever had a prosperous NFL career.

 

[Greenbacks]

Doesn`t look like he will ever suit up for this team after today.

Bosa's mommy is not going to like this

One of the top picks of an underwhelming draft class. The top picks in this year's draft were crap. No blue chip can't miss propects. Fuck this kid. He's going to get steamrolled by the size and speed of the NFL the likes of which he has never seen. Kid is a tweener. Too small to compete against NFL lineman and too big to play a true linebacker. He will regrethaving held out in 3 years when his next contract comes up if there even is one. He will be surprised when he does NOT dominate like in college. Kid is going to have a rude awakening...

 

[HacheMan]

Good for San Diego!

 

[arniesarmy]

Who in the hell wouldn't want to be set for life and living in San Diego? Where does he want to play, next to mommy and daddy in Cleveland? With that snoz he must be doing a mountain of cocaine a day to turn down that offer.

Crazy what the game has become.

Heard today that the average ticket price for a Foxboro game is $ 461.00 (on the secondary market; whatever that means). That's beyond nuts. And the Seahawks are more than that.

Overpaid prima donnas.

Crazy.

Excellently Stated and you may not be the only one that suspects what you posted to be the most likely outcome, thus is the sticking point: Guaranteed Money/Upfront Money....to my understanding at least.

Feel I have gotten about this is that Guaranteed Cash In Hand is the obstacle here based completely upon a sense on The Bosa side of this of precisely what you post there. Just my opinion though. Too bad for NFL Fans, would have been interesting to see Bosa on the field.

Seahawks fans are known for their loud support for their team, which enjoys a distinct advantage at CenturyLink Field. It turns out that the "12s" (not to be confused with Texas A&M's proprietary "12th Man") are also putting their money where their roaring mouths are.

At an average of $466, prices for Seahawks tickets are the NFL's highest on the secondary market, edging out the Patriots ($461) and Broncos ($454). This information comes to us from TicketIQ, which claims to "provide consumers with the most comprehensive set of secondary market options" and put together a report on "the state of the NFL ticket market heading into the 2016 season."

The next 10 teams after the top three in terms of average ticket price rank as follows: Bears ($377), Packers ($372), Steelers ($339), Giants ($321), Vikings ($315), Cowboys ($303), Rams ($284), Eagles ($247), Redskins ($238) and 49ers ($238). In the case of San Francisco, which went 5-11 last season, that represents a 40 percent decline from 2014, its first at brand-new Levi's Stadium.

The Jaguars were at the bottom in average secondary-market ticket price at $141, followed by the Chiefs ($143), Browns ($145), Colts ($152) and Lions ($154). The Chargers were next at $157, for a 26 percent decrease from 2015 that was by far the league's largest, possibly reflecting not only San Diego fans' dissatisfaction with a 4-12 season but an expectation that the team will soon move to Los Angeles.

Speaking of L.A., the Rams, who returned there after more than two decades in St. Louis, saw their average ticket price increase 88 percent, second-most in the NFL. Leading the way in that category were the Vikings, whose ticket price rose 113 percent as they prepare for their first season in just-built U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Raiders are looking for a new stadium - and may well move from Oakland to Las Vegas to find one - but that hasn't stopped fans from spending 69 percent more on tickets ($215) this year than last, when the team's play improved markedly. Meanwhile, the Jets' average ticket price ($223) was 31 percent lower than that of the Giants, with whom they share a facility.

If Cowboys fans are disappointed to see their beloved squad rank just ninth in highest ticket price, they'll be happy to know that Dallas checked in as the most coveted road draw, at an average of $363 for its games away from AT&T Stadium. The next five most-attractive visiting teams were the Packers ($349), Patriots ($300), Bears ($280), Seahawks ($277) and Panthers ($274).

Tom Brady's four game-suspension to start the season has had a clear impact on ticket prices at Gillette Stadium. New England's first three home games - featuring the novice quarterback stylings of Jimmy Garoppolo - are going at an average price of $384.44, while the final five rise to a whopping cost of $509.71, a 32 percent mark-up.

And finally, because I don't want anger fans of the teams not listed yet, here are their average home ticket prices: Ravens ($232), Texans ($232), Panthers ($226), Dolphins ($219), Titans ($211), Saints ($211), Cardinals ($194), Bengals ($174), Falcons ($172), Bills ($164) and Buccaneers ($162). Start saving now, folks!

Most people said the same thing about jj watt also. I guess you never know

 

[fightgood]

If this guy had any integrity he would:
1) Tell the Chargers he will take exactly $1 less than they offered as an act of good faith.
2) Be the first guy to practice in the morning.
3) Apologize to his teammates for wasting everyone's time.

I think this is the only way he can salvage any respect from his teammates or fans.

This guy is off to a fast start in NFL.
