Other than Bosa, Chargers have been really good about signing draft picks the last 5-7 years. This offset stuff seems simple enough, but I guess I don't know enough about it or I would see the big deal. Don't know what the Chargers are afraid of (cap hit for a bust?) but I do see what the player would be upset about. Wish NFL would just fix this and standardize it for all players like they did with the slotting. It seems to be the only hangup in recent history for teams and draft picks. Again seems like there is a simple solution.

This stuff really seems trivial as no matter what the team should be committed to the first rounder for at least the first three years no matter what. So we're really arguing about the fourth year of his 4 year contract. I'm sorry, Don't draft the player unless your confident of an 80% subjective success rate for any player in the first round. The only way I see this player as a bust is if he becomes an injury bust and these are not big ticket cost items in comparison to what "He May Bring to the Team!" LOL!

I know it will get done, but why is it always the Chargers who have so much trouble signing rookies?

It’s only happened once before with Bosa under the rookie CBA.

If Bobby Beathard was still the GM we wouldn't be in this pickle. Bobby would have traded the first round pick for 3 or 4 picks in the 5 to 7 rounds.

The offset stuff is very easy indeed if you are not the Chargers, then it's quantum physics.

Lack of truly deep ownership pockets seem to be our issue with.

5 ILBs is a lot. And Egbule doesn't even make the "missed the cut."

Egbule makes more sense as LB5 as he can fill in @ ILB, OLB, and ST with 2 years of experience on his side.
4 LBs and 3 QBs, or 7 WRs, or 4 TEs are viable options as well.
Have to see which fringe roster players step up in TC/Pre-Season games.

I was kinda shocked ol’ Borquez didn’t mention Goldwire in his “missed the cut” section.

What gives, Gavino?
