Joey Bosa signs with Buffalo. 1 year, $12.6 million

[BarleyNY]

Obviously significant injury risk, but his ceiling is high. I can’t hate on this. Gotta take some risks. Might as well do it on someone who can be a difference maker.

I don’t think he’d want to get slightly lowballed on a multi year deal starting this year

I think the offers are very lowballed in his (his agent's) mind. It makes sense like you said. But I'll hold my opinion until we see him on the field. The main question is why the other lowball offers, so much so for him to take a one year "prove-it" deal at age 29. He's Joey Bosa!

If he stays healthy he's almost a no question top 10 pass rusher with potential for top 3

I agree.

 

Dude has elite skills.

[Rigotz]

Before anybody else says it, let me go on record. In honor of Bills MAFIA, I give you the new name of the Bosa fan club.

 

La Bosa Nostra.

Joking, not joking.  Keep him on the bench all season. Get him strong and healthy.  
 

Unleash in the playoffs when it matters

Just curious, but aside from his health concerns, what makes you think he might not be a good fit?

I'd say it's primarily his injuries. It's like McDermott says, "the best ability is availability". Especially if Babich and McD planned to change the scheme to utilize Bosa and Heucht as movable chess pieces. 

 

We could have had Rousseau and Sweat for under 40 mil per - 2 players in their prime for 3 or 4 years feels like a better swing than this. 

 

But I will gladly accept being wrong on this take.

When healthy, he’s the greatest pass rusher of all time.

Can’t even say he’s the best pass rusher in his own family 

[transplantbillsfan]

By the way, for those wondering this signing does NOT count against the Comp pick formula since he was released.

[Warriorspikes51]

It’s 1 year 12 mil guaranteed with incentives up to 15.6

 

Go get that 15.6 Joey

I am puzzled by the presumptuous hypotheticals that keep showing up in these threads. You couldn't have had Sweat unless the player was willing to sign a deal. It wasn't his preference, so that wasn't an alternative option that we just decided not to take.

We probably offered Sweat the same money as Arizona, but he chose to take their offer. There are any number of reasons he made that choice. He already has his rings, so he wants to play in warm weather for a coach he knows. You can't make players take offers or make other GMs make trades, but fans here act like Beane just isn't trying hard enough.

Quote

Mike Silver reported for The Athletic shortly after news of the Bosa signing broke that the Bills were the only team willing to offer Bosa more than $10 million. The 49ers, attempting to land Nick Bosa a running mate and brother, came in at under $10 million, while the Dolphins' offer didn't go past $8 million.

 

So that answers that. "Can't handle the cold"? 3m more than San Fran and 4.6m more than Miami makes up for that, apparently.

didn’t he play a huge % of the snaps?  Perhaps a slightly lowered snap count here could increase his production

https://www.footballguys.com/stats/snap-counts/teams?team=LAC&year=2024
 

Bosa had the 4th most snap counts for Chargers DE on the team but did miss 4 games 

 

When he was healthy down the stretch he averaged 65% of the total defensive snaps per game

 

For comparison Groot averages high 70’s and Epenesa high 50% to low 60% of total defensive snaps per game
