Is Bosa an option for Buffalo?

[billsfan714]

Hard no to Bosa.

[Kirby Jackson]

Bosa is certainly an option at the right price. They can’t count on him though with his injury history. He would have to be, at the right price, and in addition to whatever other moves they make to upgrade the pass rush. 

[Mister Defense]

When is the last time this Bosa looked like a top tier player?

 

I cannot recall that, but unless it is mega cheap, and a contract that is instead laden with incentives, no thanks.

 

One of the most over paid players in the NFL right now.

He’s being cut so there is no contract that a team will be absorbing.

Agreed.  He has the talent to be the final piece.  Sign him to a 1 year incentive based deal.

Given his injury history where do you think a one year deal would land?  Under 20 or even Leonard Floyd type cheap (relatively speaking)?

Great question. My guess is $10Mish with incentives. He probably needs to sign a prove it deal for a year. I think Leonard Floydish is the answer.

 

Some guys wait to get a longer term deal and then settle on a short deal like Floyd did with the Bills. I think Bosa would be smart to take a short deal whenever (assuming he’s healthy). He’s better off betting on himself for a year at $10M than signing like a 3 year $33M deal with a little more guaranteed. If he’s healthy for a year he may make $25m+ a year from now.

I’m sure he’d get along very well with a handful of current/one former player. 
 

I would personally rather see the Bills go 0-17, myself.

Not sure exactly what you're getting at, but on the surface this is as bad a take as the poster a few years ago who preferred Josh throwing for 300 yards over the Bills winning.

Where’s the line?  I guess I’ve defined mine. It’s bad enough that we have to root for our favorite teams when they have woman beaters on them (Jose Reyes, Von Miller). 
 

Bosa is a bottom of the barrel person as far as character goes.

Gotcha -  I am not familiar with Bosa's character issues

You can never have too many old, injury prone, over paid defensive ends! Super Bowl.

Given his cap hit and dead cap could we lure Bosa from the Chargers?  I'm too lazy to do the leg work so I'm hoping people debate it for me.

 

Beane, is this you???

I think that you have the Bosa brothers confused.

When even the OSU boys are lukewarm on a player like this, I think the smart move is to pass.

I actually LOL'd.  

[colin]

what did this bosa do that was so bad?

 

I'd be happy if he came here on a prove it deal, like a one year thing.  if we get garrett, we'd have a shocking shocking line that could destroy our enemies.

 

garrett, oliver, groot, bosa, oliver is the smallest guy there.  nobody having a good day facing that.

First of all, there's talk of them straight up cutting him - https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/02/chargers-expected-to-move-on-from-joey-bosa

 

And given his injury history, if Bosa is something you'd be looking at - you might as well just sign his partner the last few years in Khalil Mack. A few years older, but a cleaner injury history and an equal or greater impact.

His injury history is a huge factor but he’s also just 29.  Mack is 34 years old.  That is a huge difference in NFL years.  Bosa might still be able to give you an All Pro type year.  Bosa on a prove it deal and a trade up for a stud DT in round 1 could transform the D Line and still give McBeane the ability tj sign a good CB in free agency.
