Players taken in the top 10 picks have their 5th year option salary set as the same price as the Transition Tag. That means Joey will be paid the average of the top 10 salaries for DEs. Looking back over the last 3 seasons, 2017-2019 Craig Mager Color Rush Jersey , the Transition Tag for DEs has gone from $14M, to $14.2M, to $14.36M. So Bosar17;s 5th year will likely be somewhere around $14.5M that will be fully guaranteed. Thatr17;s a healthy $6M raise over what Joey is set to make this year at just over $8M. If Joey comes out this year and has the kind of season we all expect him to have Jason Verrett Color Rush Jersey , that $14.5M will still be a discount. Melvin Ingramr17;s 4 year deal averages $16.25M a year, Ir17;d expect Joey to be more than that...by a couple million a year. Long story short, this was a no brainer and a good move.

This could very well end up being a preview of the first round the AFC playoffs next month. Philip Rivers leads a Chargers team that has been on a roll save for one ugly game against the Denver Broncos. They appeared to get back on track last week with their destruction of the Arizona Cardinals.In a lot of ways Denzel Perryman Color Rush Jersey , the Steelers represent a bad matchup for the Chargers, but Los Angeles is so good that they are still in position to go on the road and win as underdogs. Melvin Gordon will be missing this week, so the offense is clearly not at its best. However Antonio Gates Color Rush Jersey , the return of Joey Bosa has had the defense playing at a different level as we enter the month of December.Pittsburgh is favored for a reason in this one, but they canr17;t possibly be happy to be looking across the field and seeing the Chargers.
