I get both sides of the argument. SD doesn't want to get strong-armed in to giving up something that is designed to protect them from having to pay if he is released and signs elsewhere. Bosa wants to make it such that if he is a poor fit as a 5-technique (which I would never use the #3 overall pick for to begin with) and is released that he still collects his rookie contract and whatever he earns from a new team.
I'm beginning to wonder, since he hasn't signed yet (and I thought for sure he would today) that he may in fact be thinking about re-entering the draft next year. Maybe he doesn't want to play 5-technique. I don't know. He is rolling the dice that a 4-3 team would take him and early enough that he would get maximum dollars. If he doesn't sign with them soon, it will be interesting to see how the next draft unfolds for him.
Thanks for the info SHRacerX. Didn't understand what was going on, doesn't make sense from either side to me.
The Chargers sound cheap and Bosa sounds selfish and spoiled.
Still don't know enough to have an opinion on the matter.
