Because all he's asking for is either no offsetting language in his contract (so if the Bengals cut him after 3 years and another team picks him up, we still pay him what we guaranteed for that fourth year) OR his entire signing bonus up front, with no deferments ($15.34m for the #3 pick last year).
From my understanding, it's not both, it's either/or, and the Chargers are just being hella cheap. They need to understand that they got a rookie salary cap which is good for the health of the league, so don't jeopardize it by being cheap.
