That's why Bosa should point the finger of blame at his fellow players as well as at Chargers management. On multiple occasions the NFL Players Association has "strongly discouraged" agents from agreeing to contracts that include offset language, particularly in rookie deals, but each year the number of deals featuring that (and deferred money) increases.

At the root of this thread is another whole subconscious issue.
I don't get people siding with management over "spoiled rich" athletes. It's like you compare yourself and your own work ethic and your own salary with an athlete's and it makes you mad because he should be happy to get all that money for playing a game, right?
But what you really should be comparing yourself with is a billionaire owner who has screwed over countless people on his rise to the top penny pinching contracts and BS language to rob people magnitudes poorer than themselves in order to save a drop in the bucket of their fortunes.
