Report: Chargers exercise 5th year option on Joey Bosa

The Los Angeles Chargers have apparently exercised the 5th year option on Joey Bosa that they are allowed for 1st round picks.

Some non-Nick Bosa news this week: the Chargers have exercised the fifth-year option on DE Joey Bosa, per source.

The 5th year option for Joey Bosa acts sort of like the Transition Tag. 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.
