He can't do that. The NFL and the players association created a template for rookie contracts.
So Bosa has to follow the "template" but the Chargers don't?
The NFL and the Player's Association should intervene. It's their rule.
The Chargers are following the template as defined in the CBA. Outside of that there’s also a “normal procedure” that includes not having certain recuperative clauses in contracts for the first 10 draft picks, and the Chargers are ignoring that. Since it’s not in the CBA they don’t have to. It’s just the way things tend to be done. Of course they “tend to be done” by teams that regularly pick in the top 10, ie BAD teams, so it might not actually be a good idea.
