Charges wanted offset language on the 5th year and deferral of part of his signing bonus.

Joey Bosa still absent as Chargers begin Phase Two

Spoiler!

When the Chargers opened Phase One of the offseason program, defensive end Joey Bosa didn’t show. Not many noticed.

Now that Phase Two has begun, Bosa’s absence has become more conspicuous. On Tuesday, first-year head coach Anthony Lynn commented on the situation.

“Ideally, yeah, you’d like everyone here,” Anthony Lynn said, via the San Diego Union-Tribune. “We’re a team.”

So where’s Bosa?

“Your guess is as good as mine,” Lynn said. “Joey and I talked first day, and he’s training with his guy somewhere. Like I say, I’m only focused on the guys that are here and trying to build a team.”

The workouts are voluntary, and Lynn’s “you’d like everyone here” arguably tiptoes on the wrong side of the line that prohibits coaches from saying anything to suggest workouts are mandatory.

Last year, Bosa declined to participate in offseason workouts without a contract, and he held out through training camp to get the contractual terms he wanted. The lack of work didn’t hurt his performance; he was the NFL’s defensive rookie of the year.

It wouldn't surprise me if Bosa demands to be traded in the next couple years.

You would be sucking him off saying he doesn't need practice if he played in Pile High

Who gives a shit? Their top 2 QBs aren't there either. They're "voluntary".

Guy went from playing in front of 100,000 home fans in college to a stadium that holds 30,000 and around half of them will be opposing team fans. Gotta be a weird feeling.

Your best players should want to be there. Especially when you have a new HC.
