Los Angeles Chargers biggest priority this offseason should be Joey Bosa

The Los Angeles Chargers have some holes that are likely to will need to be filled but the biggest focus should really be extending Joey Bosa.

The Los Angeles Chargers are perhaps getting rid of some pieces this offseason but as a total, the workforce is in a great position to nonetheless once again be a single of the very best teams in the AFC subsequent time.

The Chargers certainly will need to carry in linebacker enable, defensive deal with enable and perhaps a receiver to switch Tyrell Williams, who is an unrestricted no cost agent and could be in for a massive payday somewhere else.

These holes will obviously be filled by the Chargers. The 2019 NFL Draft alone is more than enough to fill these holes and the Chargers can signal a single or two no cost agents to entirely sum the offseason up. It is not likely to be difficult and the front place of work does not have to do as a lot work as earlier offseasons.

With that in brain, the Chargers should really transform the brute of their focus to the all-pro defensive conclude on the workforce, Joey Bosa. In particular, the team’s greatest focus this offseason should be to extend Joey Bosa earlier his rookie deal.

Bosa and the Chargers have not experienced the most success in negotiating a deal. Bosa infamously held out until eventually the Chargers gave him an unprecedented rookie deal truly worth $25.8 million in excess of four many years with a $17 million signing reward.

All of the cash was certain and it was the greatest reward the Chargers experienced at any time given a participant.

With that in the again of our minds, it is protected to say that Bosa may well not really like getting a Charger and as an alternative is likely immediately after the cash, which is great, this is his career immediately after all.

He is truly worth the cash, while. In 33 video games played the previous three seasons Bosa has recorded 28.5 sacks and 134 put together tackles.

That is a lot more sacks in his 1st 33 video games than both equally Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald experienced in their 1st 33 video games. If you go in excess of the previous three many years, Bosa records .86 sacks for every sport played. Donald records .86 sacks for every sport played and Mack .74 sacks for every sport played.

That usually means that Bosa is finding sacks at a a lot more repeated rate than Khalil Mack and is at the similar precise rate as Aaron Donald. He is even now only 23.

Actively playing on the Chargers, who do not get a large amount of national really like, and getting damage this 12 months has seemingly put Bosa in the backseat. If you inquire most NFL admirers correct now they would not be ready to fork out Bosa the cash he may well want.

On the other hand, it clearly would be truly worth it mainly because he is by now likely toe-to-toe with the very best in the sport by way of three many years. His primary is likely to be from many years five to eight, which could end result in unprecedented figures if his traits carry on.

With three many years of his rookie deal up the Chargers can signal Bosa to an extension and remove the club solution for a fifth 12 months that is immediately after this time. A 6-12 months extension would lock Bosa down by way of the 2025 time. He will be 30 many years previous at the conclude of that 12 months.

With Philip Rivers‘ career coming to a near the subsequent two-three many years the Chargers can find the money for to fork out Bosa this kind of cash mainly because the quarterback will be on a rookie deal, which is a thing the Rams and Bears both equally took benefit of.

If the Chargers do not extend Bosa, I would not be shocked at all to see him signal with the Arizona Cardinals or whatever workforce finishes up selecting his brother, Nick Bosa, in the 2019 NFL Draft. If they are offering a lot more cash than the Chargers why wouldn’t he want to wreak havoc alongside his brother?

Nick Bosa may well be the key in all of this and it is likely to just take the kind of deal that Mack and Donald received to retain Bosa on the Los Angeles Chargers. He is a lot more than truly worth it.
