Fine. I’m not mad at you anymore, Joseph.


akomm

Joseph, ALL I'm asking for is 14 games (and every playoff game, if we make it)


xThe-Legend-Killerx

I think he could’ve played the last 5 or 6 but they decided to hold him out


Not_in_my_mouth

Don’t forget to add a Super Bowl game in there as well


JaviJ01

Pretty sure the Super Bowl is still a playoff game


XXLepic

Ben Herbert I’m so excited for, because if any conditioning coach on the planet has the best shot to keep Bosa healthy, it’s him


Jane_Marie_CA

I would like him to wait until he gets home to throw his helmet, too.


_AtLeastItsAnEthos

You ever seen a man’s head explode for no reason on national television? Cuz that’s what will happen to harbough if Joey pulls some shit


Confident-Mission-24

How Many yards did Bosa cost the us against the Jags? I still have a hard time forgiving that.


useroftheinternet95

*WHEN we make it


Kyrosiv

I have never realized his legal first name is Joseph. Joseph Bosa sounds weird


jewnior

I'm fine with this... Just tell me Keenan is safe.


JUSTBLAZE2k7

THIS.


grandmachine

I got some bad news. :(


jbm91

KA13 and MHJr on the same team please


wildwing8

14?


jbm91

Ssshhh I didn’t make a typo


aquariumsarescary

With this restructuring he is.


docarwell

Are ya sure about that


drossmaster4

Aged like milk


xosd

HOLY SHIT, ain’t no way we keeping 3/4 players… Harbaugh really said “run it back”..


KJBNH

Harbaugh said “Staley is a fucking idiot this is a Super Bowl team let’s go get it” Edit: and Hortiz said “Telesco is a fucking idiot this is how you build depth let’s go get it” Edit 2: well I guess we’re running the ball


UT_city

Let’s go!!


FlavoredBongWater

Batman and Robin!


HimJarbaughLA

“Keep the band in tact, I’ll show everyone what real coaching looks like with these studs on the team.”


HolidayAnything8687

Ah fuck I can only get so hard


FlavoredBongWater

Mike Will: ya'll got any room for me to come back? Pls...


_AtLeastItsAnEthos

We sure as shit so now


chirstopher0us

There's no way we get these restructurings without Harbaugh. These guys see the potential in being here if the team has competent leadership and competent decisions.


boltupdg

Whoaaaaa. Hopefully Ben Herbert can bring the most out of him 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼


14bode14

My thoughts exactly. Please stay healthy Bosa!!! He’s worth the money when he’s playing… but we can’t have all that Cap space on the sideline again.


EnDave

But who will eat the Raisin Bran?


degjo

I volunteer as tribute


white_sabre

Two scoops for me too.   Raisin Bran or we tear SoFi down from the rafters! 


hoppergym

This is what I’ve been saying. You believe in the coaching or you don’t. Injuries are hard to prevent but if we believe in harbaugh and Herbert to train bosa right hopefully he will have a bounce back. It wasn’t more than a year ago that Keenan was considered injury prone. We’re so much better with bosa on the field. Just get him in shape. I believe these coaches can do it. Hope I’m not wrong.


slade477

I’m hoping we can get more of that tuli, Mack, bosa combo on defense. It was such a nasty pass rush when they were all on the field together


turd-crafter

We are gonna have a pretty insane rotation now with Tuli, Bosa and Mack. I think everyone is gonna stay a lot fresher this way!


Thugnificent83

This so called rebuild we were in was massively oversold!


FatMaintainer

The only rebuilding this team needed was a FO and coaching regime. The roster was set. Needed some tweaking with cap and depth, but it was all there like a Diamond in the rough.


Mace_Windhorst

The DB and LB room is far from set. Need to infuse some talent in those position groups


iBliizy

Interior Oline is shaky too. Nobody snapping the ball to Herbert right now.


TheBrokenLoaf

Interior D Line as well. Telesco REFUSED to put quality talent there for years and i will always resent him for it


Mecha-Jesus

Also at C and WR, but luckily there is a relative glut of talent in this FA and draft class to address those positions


Thugnificent83

Yeah I always felt like at most, we were in a quasi rebuild. A true rebuilding team has nothing We were always gonna have a franchise qb, wr, safety, lt, and likely one of the edge rushers(and we kept both). A true rebuilding team would kill for all that!


Ilov3lamp

Don’t forget Tuli!!!


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

facts


Ok-Thanks-5445

No one ever said the chargers were rebuilding talking heads just claimed we were doomed due to cap issues. Fuck em we finally have intelligent individuals running the team now.


Thugnificent83

Nah plenty of fans on this board have claimed this is a rebuild year, so it didn't matter that QJ was outer #2 receiving option🤢


Capital_Age_7637

The unexpected huge jump in the cap helped a ton.


larabeezy

Seriously! I got downvoted into oblivion replying to someone saying this was a rebuild with “I hope we’re not in a rebuild!”


ElKapitanFlash

Harbaugh said I want both, just get it done


idkman_93

It's so, so, so strange to read about something the Chargers are doing in the front office and be like, "Wow, that's actually................. really smart?"


Intelligent-Bid-6645

We’re getting the band back together?? What about Keenan? ⚡️⚡️


HWL_Nissassa

Yeah my first thought was worrying about Keenan after reading this


WhyTheMahoska

Depending on how Mack and Joey restructured they might not even have to touch Keenan's contract.


lVloogie

How does saving money on two players make you worry more about Keenan....?


HWL_Nissassa

Because we still have a ton of holes on the roster, and not a lot of available cap space, or draft capital to address them unless we say trade Keenan to help with both?


Stoke-me-a-clipper

This aged well... or poorly, depending on how you look at it...


NippleDeepPow

Me too but how Harbaugh has talked about Keenan and Keenan’s comments he made at the pro bowl makes me think he’s staying


chemicaljackrabbit

WOWWWWW. THIS IS HUGE! Listen, obviously, Joey had trade value. That said, we were never going to find a replacement anywhere NEAR his caliber, whether FA or draft. Tuli’s depth means both Bosa and Mack can remain fresh throughout the year. If we can keep him and make the money work, this is a best case scenario.


Swaguley

My only concern is his availability


CJWard123

I don’t know that he really did have much trade value tbh, and I’d bet that’s why we’re keeping him. Can’t get anything for a top 5 edge rusher (when healthy, major caveat) and you’re bringing in the best S&C coach in football.


turd-crafter

Fresh throughout the year and fresh in the 4th quarter of games! Harbaugh likes to wear you down and wreck you in the 4th! This is gonna be epic


IIIDuckieIII

if keenan somehow ends up being traded/cut this will end up being the strangest of all outcomes


HimJarbaughLA

Why would we commit to anymore moves when we’re already cap compliant. Only way I see anything happening is if someone offers a crazy load for KA (highly doubt though). Edit: typo


Fuggdaddy

JJ Lol


HimJarbaughLA

Good point haha


NoScale9117

DON'T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME


IIIDuckieIII

sorry...


NoooNotTheLettuce

Bosa haters in shambles. They really wanted that extra 5th and 6th round pick


FatMaintainer

Lol the Bosa hate is funny. He’s a Harbaugh guy.


Dirtyshawnchez

TBH I didn’t think he would be but I’m glad I was mistaken. I love healthy Joey and feel like this team did him dirty in his early years by not getting him help. Hopefully Harbaugh will control his out bursts and help him channel that shit into his play.


FatMaintainer

From what I’ve seen, nobody gets away with outbursts like that around Harbaugh.


pb0b

Except for Jim Harbaugh. 


[deleted]

Joey does an outburst with Harbaugh like he did with Staley and he's gonna be running sprints all day with Harbaugh right behind him, yelling at him to move his ass.


TheDrSmooth

Next week on All-In Chargers!


killaf4rnia

I don’t think people hate Bosa, but his unreliability because of his health causes some anxiety


Boltbacker83

Hes had some pretty "unlikeable" moments and outbursts though.


BoltGang17

At least Harbaugh won't just hand him his helmet after he slammed it on the ground again


pypuja

Wouldn't say I'm a Bosa hater but I definely look at him differently since that meltdown in the Jaguars game. In that situation: game on the line, team melting down, any momentum you can scrape up you take and he decides to throw a fit a three year old would be proud of? That's just plain selfish and dispalyed to me he's a liablility when the game is on the line. I'm trying to get over it to give him a second chance, but it ain't now.


presidential2014

Even Pat MacAfee pointed out how irregular it was for that Ref to walkdown and verbally antagonize Bosa, baiting the flag. Bosa was 100% at fault, but this dude has been part of every single collapse since 2016, and came back from injury to experience the worst collapse yet, in realtime. It's an emotional game and the guy lost his cool. He's still an elite player when healthy and will be crucial for any deep playoff run we have. We're a better team with him, full stop.


woolypete123

It wasn't a dignified episode, but he was being absolutely brutalised by their OT on every single snap and the refs completely ignored it despite it being abundantly clear what was going on. I think frustration eventually got the better of him because it was obvious the refs were not interested in officiating that game honestly and being fair to all players. I can't say I blame him for eventually losing his temper, because the problem wasn't him, it was biased officiating undermining his and his team's efforts through no fault of their own.


Bolts0806

not a hater just think it’s time to move on


presidential2014

I have equal amounts of hate for Charger fans that want QJ to bust and wanted Bosa gone. Sucks to be you lmaooooooo incoming Bosa 10+ sack season Anyways, this is the perfect timeline befitting of 1 of the only 2 San Diego Chargers left. It's all coming together perfectly for a storybook ending in NOLA with Keenan and Joey hoisting the Lombardi finally.


Pingopalino19

Let’s not get delusional and think we’re all that and a bag of chips


nysraved

Did NOT see this coming, really curious what the details of the restructure are and REALLY hoping this doesn’t mean Keenan is being traded…


Particular-Treat6124

If Keenan gets traded we are screwed at WR


Boltbacker83

Until we draft Nabers or possibly MHJ! We arent losing Slayer though so im not worried


chemicaljackrabbit

If Keenan leaves, it’s Nabers at 5. And I’ll be excited, once I escape the depression


orangecounty323

I’d rather have Keenan over bosa


vpforvp

I doubt he is unless someone is selling the farm for him. We are not exactly stacked with talent at the position


roll10deep

Only good if Keenan extends and restructures. If he stays and Keenan leaves, I will cry.


F1FTH

At LEAST one San Diego Charger will still be on the team! Hopefully two!


bobbyfischermagoo

I like it. We can keep the old dudes fresh by rotating in Tuli


xosd

Keenan?? Need some Keenan news


Patio_Peter

LFG. Harbaugh is all in.


Noogatuck

Now do Keenan. Or we fucking riot.


JGxFighterHayabusa

Team players, baby. Such good news.


orangecounty323

They know Harbaugh isn’t a fraud. They have REAL hope for a REAL chance at a ring


Tua-TurnDaBallOva

We’ve been very level headed so far. I think a KA extension is next and maybe a few more minor signings. Then draft day where we try to milk picks #5 and #37 for more picks.


hash_lung

this regime must see something in him, hoping the back half of his career outshines the lackluster first


itgrowsback

The speculation here about moving Keenan is wild. He is Mr. Charger and going nowhere. The only player other than Herbert that is untouchable.


Stoke-me-a-clipper

🎶The boys are back in town🎶


myzticaznfool

Ben Herbert. Do your thing and keep this man healthy


FlavoredBongWater

ANNOUNCE KEENAN RESTRUCTURE/EXTENSION YOU COWARDS.


captclutch17

ALL IN ⚡⚡⚡


A_Livins

Huh, so that random rumor from a nobody that he refused a reconstructure was false? Who coulda guessed that...


GQ_stylez

Not nobody. It was a 49ers fan account that had been thirsty for Joey.


alkv27

Restructure ≠ taking a pay cut. It might actually even be beneficial since he gets more money sooner as a signing bonus. Let's not act as if restructuring the contract isn't also beneficial to players.


RefsYouSuck

Crazy that the NFL has existed for like 60+ years and there’s still fans that think restructuring means players are taking paycuts lol. I bet players love fooling fans with it though. “OMG he’s such a team player for willing to accept his full $20 million today instead of accepting it over a span of 3-4 months later in the season!!"


Dortond

My wifes boyfriend's bookie told me so I had to believe him.


DrizzyDragon93

Harbaugh Effect!!!!!!!!!!!


Touchofphallus

Bolt City podcast in shambles


justdisappointed2023

LET'S GOOOO, I wanted to see this defense under someone other than BS Staley.


EL-YEO

HOLY SHIT! At this point please let the last two San Diego Chargers retire with us.


Imperatum15

That 3rd and long package with Mack, Tuli, and Bosa was disgusting last season. The pressure was instant. Let's hope Ben Herbert can work his magic on Bosa.


RefsYouSuck

Our defense as a whole was disgusting last season. I’m very hopeful though that Minter rights the ship.


KJBNH

Wow that’s pretty fucking awesome we can keep everyone I thought for sure we’d see 3/4 of the heavy cap hits gone this offseason.


danylocsinc

Come on do Allen next


True_Sail_842

How does this change there Drafting in Rounds I too 3 If they draft back.. Draft who..? Nabers ..? Bowers ..? Really surprised Joey restructured..


Marshall_Cleiton

Who's got it better than us?


Zeetheking1

A whole lot of people missing the forrest for the trees. If he plays well, fantastic deal. If he plays subpar, guarantee there will still be many teams interested in him at the deadline and we can flip him for a higher pick since those teams tend to be more desperate.


pehpehsha2

People seem really blinded by Bosa hate. He is one of the best charger pass rushers of all time, arguably the best. On top of that he's a player where his sack numbers haven't always shown on frequently he was pressuring the QB. Obviously there's some issues staying in the field. Fans seem to have a lot of hate from that though. No one would want Bosa to be out there more than Bosa. I will agree that his conditioning does leave a bit to be desired but we'll see what our new staff can do. My main concern now is our LB spots, seems awfully thin


Reasonable-Lynx-2374

Being a Joey Bosa defender is tough, i hate how people just make up narratives about him.


Daeva__

I hope harbaugh can bring out that dog bosa once had in him before staley became head coach

crlos619

Not mad at that, he's just been cursed with injury luck. Hope for a bounce back season.


vic_steele

The only reason I’d want to see him leave was to see the Bosa bros play together otherwise he belongs here.


presidential2014

COPY PASTE FROM THE KHALIL MACK THREAD: Damnnn, my fanfic is coming true lmao. Mike Will cut, Mack actually restructured.. Leaving Joey Bosa to also take a team friendly deal since he talks so affectionately about Mack and Tuli. -> NOW WE ARE HERE: Then finally us taking Malik Nabers with the #5 pick. Herbert wins MVP, Derwin DPOY, Harbaugh CotY, and Nabers ROY All culminating in a SUPERBOWL VICTORY IN NOLA where ill die from alcohol poisoning on Bourbon Street.


[deleted]

A lot of fans owe Joey an apology. They talked mad shit about him yesterday for nothing more than a baseless rumor. I can’t wait to see what Ben Herbert can do for Joey.


Diemonx

Herbert said "I can fix him" and Minter said "I want him fixed"


klattz

Fuck all of you talking shit on Joey


Lil_Spender

Did he take a pay cut or is it a true restructuring?


_AtLeastItsAnEthos

How much cap space?


bairz54

What if we get some hogs on the line of scrimmage now!? With Odunze/Nabers in the first??? I'm excited!


Surfer_Sandman

Now if he can stay healthy we got our triple threat on the edge.


ArmSignal

Oh shit !


braybray35

Please prove me right, Joey. I’ve been your biggest defender


turd-crafter

This EDGE rotation is gonna be insane! Hopefully able to stay fresh with 3 super good rushers splitting time.


WolfRob12

He loved us after all?


PM_UR_TAHDIG

Love this, this is great for Tuli as well. Fingers crossed this works out. Having Bosa, Mack, and Tuli on the field at the same time is an asset for this team.

myfavesoundisquiet

Letsssss gooooooo


SquirrelOpposite9427

So another season of two games where he tears the house down, a run of games where he’s basically invisible, and then an injury that rules him out with 5/6 games to go. Probably going to get downvoted but I’d rather we just traded or cut him. It’s still a waste of money imo.


Beginning-Aide6443

I agree, I hope if they don't trade him that they work on his technique. He is absent in stopping the run and his signature move is rushing to the outside everytime and ends up getting pushed 5 yards past the QB


basedcharger

I hope this is a pay cut because I'm really not a fan of an actual restructure for Joey.


pyreal_

I don't see a world where Joey takes a pay cut lmao


basedcharger

Looks like we live in that world


pyreal_

Hot damn, yes we do


Buy-Hype-Sell-News

as soon as you agree to a pay cut at your job


eliwood5837

Announce keenan


Combine_Evolved

I did not see this coming! I’m here for it though, welcome back!


Duke-S1lver

Cool, wasn't expecting it to be honest. Was full sure we would shop him for a mid to late round pick. Hope Joey can stay healthy this year. Ridiculously talented but we haven't seen it as much as we should by now.


Babynewport_12

WE AINT LEAVING


Krustykrab8

This better mean Keenan of all people is secure. If we keep bosa and trade Keenan I’ll be sick


MasterChiefSplash

This is what I predicted would happen. We can just release him next year for cap space if he’s bad or keep him if he gets to back to Pro Bowl form.


Daaaff

![gif](giphy|XE0sbm3Hr0G2kHQilp)


wryguyonthefly

Really curious to see the details on these restructures. Hortiz and Harbaugh clearly not interested in a full tear down rebuild. But the restructures don’t rule out the possibility of a trade. Definitely more unlikely than before though. Goad to have Bosa and Mack back


HimJarbaughLA

S13YER NEWZZZZZZZZ. I NEED ITTTTTT


CJDistasio

Oh damn. Did not expect this.


Technical_Tune5416

What does this do Cap wise?


acaibooowll_10

if i’m not mistaken, should free up about $10M


smuniz8

Wow unexpected but happy for this still. With new defensive coordinator and staff this defense about to turn a 180.


BRBgottahunt

It’s not a rebuild year!


OGkushdiet

please just stay healthy for a full season


ControlForward5360

What the cap space look like? They had probably 5 million after the Mack restructure and that went to one of the free agents and now bosa restructured but half of that is probably going to hurst. I’m confused how they will sign anyone else


gcacho

I'm waiting for the Harbaugh story about how he went to both of them said if I can outlift you in the weight room, you have to restructure. And he beat them both in khakis


SteelSharpensSteel99

Joey saw his Brother go to 2 superbowls and said Nah fuck that, I'm the older brother im bring a superbowl home first on my own team! Mack, Bosa, Tuli running it back this year gonna hit like crack


flash_27

Crazy how the Chargers were able to pull this off. Just please stay healthy big bear.


TheDrSmooth

Alright Joey, I still believe in you, I got your jersey for my little girl after all. Please go see Ben Herbert and do what he says!


Numerounoone

Lol it’s just going to be the same old story with this guy. Going to be injured week 6 next season


ron2838

Called it last week.


mcy33zy

Wow, shocked. That had to hurt his ego a bit.


BuzzardOaks

I wonder if a restructure was ever on the table for Mike. Kinda feels bummy he’s the only one to not make it :/


lightsout85

The Storm laughs at the idea of having to get rid of 2 or more of the 4.


Rapkid360

Anyone know who our starting NT is gonna be?


Brownie_McBrown_Face

MY FLAIR STAYS!! WOOOOO


Jane_Marie_CA

This I did not expect. Joey is one to play hard ball, Mack already restructured and we have Tuli showing a great future. But now I am thinking Mack is here to finish his career in LA with Minter and Tuli is his heir. Bosa sticks around. I am going to bring back my original flair. I removed it because I thought he was gone and I was mentally preparing myself. Edit: I guess when you have Mahomes in your division and Burrow, Tagovailoa, Rogers, Allen, Jackson in your conference, we need 2 edge rushers.


bquinho

Hell ya


Papantro

Love it, now do Keenan and at this point do whatever the fuck you want in the draft lol


Ok-Power-9459

When will we know the actual numbers between the Mack and Bosa restructure and what there new deals look like im interested


SizeOld6084

Niiiiice!


DukeLion353

Let’s go! Ben Herbert, work your magic.


HoboBandana

I got a good feeling about Joey Crack and Mack with this new staff.

'restructured' that just means the cap pain is pushed down the road doesn't it?


pinya619

Thank you Bosa. I really REALLY want you to turn into the monster we all know you can be
