    #47 Michael Thomas
    # 4 Ezekiel Elliot
    #5 Jalen Ramsey
    #7 DeForest Buckner
    #2 Carson Wentz
    #165 Tyreek Hill
    #1 Jared Goff
    #45 Derrick Henry
    #37 Chris Jones
    #6 Ronnie Stanley
    #13 Laremy Tunsil
    good question - I would put him right in the middle

    as for the signing - glad it got done. good news for the team

    interesting to see if they gave him new money for this season - they should// they have the cap space to help future years.

        When your division rival is coming off a SB win and has the best QB in the league who does things no other QB has ever done, and you have one of the best young pass rushers in the league on your roster on the final year of his rookie contract, you lock that dude up. Even though the timing right now surprised me, when you think about it for 5 seconds it's a no-brainer.

            That's what I worried about the most. It makes sense to stay where you are at for the most part, and the Chargers seem to be showing the love outside the negotiation table too. I guess that Bosa Brothers team-up wasn't to be.

              Since day 1 that gave me stress, so this whole time i was sitting back like "im not gonna get attached hes gonna walk". Turns out momma bosa didnt play a big role. Feels good seeing Joey locked in for 6 more years

                The Chargers didn't have the ability to get an offensive talent like Patrick Mahomes. Hell - not many teams do. (If he wasn't in the NFCWest I would like him more!! - amazing to watch). So the way to beat him is to hopefully play better defense. Keeping Bosa does that. Bosa on the DL, along with Ingrams still trying to figure out LB but on the back end, you got guys like Derwin James and maybe Harris or Hayward.

                So again, the key to me this year on defense, besides health: what do the "role players" like the DTs (Tillery, Jones, Joseph), the LBs, Drue or Murray and of course the other safety position with Jenkins, maybe Des KIng, Davis. Can they just do their jobs so Bosa, James and Ingram can be the "good trouble" makers on defense

                  Was shocked when I heard this last night. Absolutely awesome, a corner piece for years to come.

                    Lol! I guess I was so happy that we locked him up that I didn't think about how UNHAPPY our division rival QBs are about it.

                      perhaps they were not planning it in San Francisco, not to late for #BosaTakeOver in LA. Sign SuperMel to a contract that ends when Baby Bosa hits the FA line... Hah one can dream right?

                          Well the one thing we know about the Bosa family is they are about the money. When you offer him a contract to be the #1 or #2 highest paid defender in the NFL it’s a no brainer. I am sure they were very happy to stay here for that $. That being said it’s great to see him locked up and happy for the next 6 years.
