Joey Bosa deserves every penny from the LA Chargers that he will receive.

As soon as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the news of Joey Bosa’s contract extension with the LA Chargers last night, Twitter was ablaze and the market was once again reset.

The contract for Bosa is no doubt a steep one. Bosa is now the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history in terms of total guarantees, eclipsing Myles Garrett in those categories.

The market always gets reset when it’s time for the next player to get paid in a league with an increasing salary cap.
