Joey Bosa’s 2016 reservation apparently resonated in 2020.
As the NFL prepares for a season of unprecedented chaos, windfall losses, and a potentially abrupt drop in the salary cap by 2021, the Chargers bit the bullet and made Joey Bosa the highest-paid defensive player in the history of the NFL with a whopping five-year, $ 135 million spread. Along with the $ 14.36 million that Bosa was due to make in 2020, it is a six-year deal with a signing value of $ 24.89 million per year.
New York Browns defensive end $ 27 million Myles Garrett for $ 2 million per year leaves Bears linebacker Khalil Mack at $ 23 million per year and Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald at $ 22.5 million per year, in the dust.
Even though the Chargers were on the brink of a fanless season in the stands (some would say it’s no different than any other season), they broke the bank for Bosa, who held out heavily in his rookie preseason for a handful of relatively little . Problems in his contract largely repetitive as the third overall pick in the draft. This time, the Chargers would not have delivered $ 78 million fully guaranteed and $ 102 million in total guarantees if they had not feared a Bosa reserve, or perhaps even an opt-out.
Bosa has 40 career sacks in 51 career games, an average of 0.78 per game. He has a Pro Bowl appearance in four years, and has missed 13 games in four seasons due to injury.
Bosa has tremendous potential and has had significant production at times, but his high water mark for single-season bags is just 12.5, with Melvin Ingram on the other side of the line to dilute the attention being drawn. can dedicate to Bosa.
And so the deal can be characterized as nothing more than a big blow to Bosa, especially in light of the current issues surrounding the Chargers and the rest of the NFL. Although the final numbers will tell the whole story, in this situation, the first indications are that Bosa got every penny, and possibly something else, from the Chargers.
