Frank Kaminsky is my Hero.
Tom should have known from the beginning that this is how San Diego has done business...especially since he's the agent of both Antonio Gates and Manti Te'o...and Te'o should have been drafted and signed with the new CBA, right?
Sounds like Condon did know, which is why he is offering either no offsets or money up front. This is what I posted earlier in this thread:
The more I read about this, the more I think the Chargers have no clue what it's doing.
The team is trying to have its cake and eat it too. Since 2012, every #3 pick has either had offset language removed from the contract, or the signing bonus was paid in full by the end of the player's rookie season. The Chargers want offset language and to complete payoff of bonuses by March 2017. Just in this draft, by comparison, Goff and Ramsay, who went #1 and #5, have no offset language in their contracts and will have their bonuses paid by the end of 2016, so the Bosa camp has been pretty flexible.
By the way, Bosa's agent is Tom Condon. Who TF does Tom Telesco think he is? The Bosa camp has been more than flexible, just do the damn deal and move on.
In short, what San Diego is proposing is very lopsided and not what an elite agent like Condon would accept.
The thing is the Bosa camp isnt trying to set a new precedent. It is just following old precedent.
