Why is that on the FO?? If Bosa is off in crazy town — why would the Niners meet him there?
Youre talking about week 1 2023 problems when this is a multiple year contract. They are not the same.
He's not in crazy town and if reports that they are $4 million apart then it's a HUGE fail by the FO. Bosa has all the leverage in this situation, and if the team even loses him for 1 week and it costs a game, they will have shot themselves in BOTH feet.
He absolutely does not have all the leverage. If he did he would have been signed by now. The Niners will use three years of control and Bosa missing game checks as leverage. That's real money. Missing TC isn't real money. He can't get it back and the Niners won't add it in on the extension. It's Bosa's decision to miss games. Not the FO.
It won't come to that. But it is clear people don't understand what leverage is. Twitter has got too many people gassed up.
Both parties have hands to play.
