San Diego, Bosa still at loggerheads

Redskins acquire center from Pats

SAN DIEGO — Joey Bosa’s holdout turned ugly Wednesday when the San Diego Chargers pulled their contract offer to the first-round draft pick and said they’ll restructure a new deal that would reflect him playing less than a full season.

Bosa has missed all of training camp as his agents and the team wrangle over how much of his $17 million signing bonus he’ll get up front, as well as offset language in the case he gets cut.

The Chargers were counting on the former Ohio State star to help bolster their pass rush and bring some excitement to a season that could be pivotal to their future in San Diego.

It’s not clear whether Bosa is willing to sit out the season. At the very least, the team is willing to continue to play hardball with Bosa.

“The offer that we extended was for Joey to contribute during all 16 games and beyond,” the team said. “Joey’s ability to contribute for an entire rookie season has now been jeopardized by the valuable time he has missed with his coaches and his teammates.”

One of Bosa’s agents, Brian Ayrault, said in a statement that it was “unfortunate the San Diego Chargers have decided to manipulate facts and negotiate in the media. The team surely is not strengthening its relationship with Joey Bosa by taking this stance and making their position public.”

TRADE: Washington acquired center Bryan Stork from New England for an undisclosed draft pick.

Stork appeared in 21 games the past two seasons, but started just six in 2015 after spending time on the physically unable to perform list with concussion and neck issues. The 25-year-old started the Super Bowl for New England two seasons ago

HARRISON: The NFL flexed its muscles again when it mandated James Harrison meet with its investigators about performance-enhancing drugs under its timetable and not his. Harrison and the NFLPA asked for a meeting Aug. 30, and the league scheduled the date for this morning instead.

At this point, after a dramafilled eight months of backand-forth between the union and the league over “credible evidence,” Harrison simply wants to get the interview done.

Harrison has maintained his innocence after his name was mentioned in a report about PED use in the NFL.
