Joey Bosa, the third-overall pick and the first non-quarterback to be taken in this year's draft, is off to a strange start in San Diego. After an initial adjustment period, Bosa during rookie minicamp and OTAs. Now, though, Bosa is nowhere to be found for mandatory minicamp.The defensive end is holding out amid a contract stalemate. And that has the feeling "disappointed.""We're disappointed he's not here," said GM Reggie Wayne Jersey Tom Telesco, "This is a big part of the learning proce s for all players, not just rookies. But there's a busine s part to this (game), too, and we understand that. It's part of being a profe Anthony Mack Jersey sional athlete. I'll say: the time he's been here, I've been really impre sed with not only his ability but his work ethic. That's been great."That all being said, we've got to treat all of our players the same. That's the big thing. We can't do one thing different for one guy and the same for 89 others. These things tend to work out. It's June. We'll just keep going." Rookie holdouts these days are uncommon because the wage scale set in the 2011 CBA was supposed to eliminate contract disputes. According to the , the conflict is about his signing bonus, which the want to defer, and offset language: Per sources familiar with negotiations, a main hurdle relates to offset language. Bosa's representation is pushing for there to be none. That would mean the Chargers pay him all of his four-year guaranteed contract -- it will include a fifth-year team option -- even if they release him Brad Kaaya Jersey sometime during it. Theoretically, Bosa thereby can double-dip and be paid full salaries from the Chargers and any new team with whom he signs. Again, all this comes into play in the unlikely event Bosa is released during the coming few years.If there is offset language, the Chargers are off the hook for Bosa's salary with his new team, only owing him the difference between the two salaries.Regardle s of how the negotiations play out, if the Chargers are forced to release Bosa before the end of his contract, they'll be screwed, even if they're covered financially. After all, they e sentially had the first pick in this year's draft with two quarterbacks going back-to-back to kick off the festivities. The Chargers Ray Lewis Jersey , who were never going to take a quarterback, were given the chance to pick whichever player they wanted. They landed on Bosa. The Chargers can't afford to waste time building a contender. Quarterback is 34, which narrows Frank Gore Jersey their window of opportunity. With the coming off a , the fresh off a playoff appearance, and the on the rise, the Chargers' task won't be easy. It'll be a little easier, though, if Bosa turns into the kind of player worthy of the No. 3 pick. It's still only mid-June, so there's no reason for the Chargers to panic over his absence. As long as he's under contract before the end of July, when training camp commences, all will be well. For now, considering it a situation worth monitoring.
