He should demand a trade to his fathers old organization. Miami trade their first pick next year and money for Bosa.
Sounds perfectly fair to me!

Compromise, with off-set language to ruin all future negotiations with every other rookie and free agent until this front office and owner is replaced.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
I'm not use either side actually won; I think the money amount was fixed by his draft position from the beginning and didn't change. Maybe he got more guaranteed and/or more of the bonus in the first year I don't know.
See this CBS Sports writer's tweet:

He gets all his $17 mil signing bonus up front, which is exactly what he wanted. The offset language is nothing, and only allows the Chargers to save face, somewhat. So, yeah, Bosa won, and won huge...

To an ordinary person like me, if I was to get a $17M signing bonus I wouldn't care if part of the money is deferred to 2017 or not. As long I was was guaranteed of getting the entire $17M. Come on now, how much better off would you be by getting $17M now verses $12M now and $5M in early 2017?
Honestly, I think it is exactly what his agent (and maybe the NFLPA) wanted. I think his agent was the driving force here and he wanted to set a precedent with the Chargers to get 100% of the bonus money up front. In my opinion the agent is the winner. Both Bosa and the Chargers are really losers due to all the days Bosa missed practicing. The lack of practice and reps has to effect his play somewhat in the early games and therefore the Chargers won't be a competitive in these games as they would have otherwise been if Bosa had been in camp since day 1.

The payment timing of bonus dollars is critical in that getting all the bonus at one time permits the player to invest now and possibly make substantial investing gains starting now
vs the owner holding back and the owner can possibly be making substantial investing gains while he defers payment
If an investment can earn 10% in a year, this could be the equivalent of an addl $1.7M of revenue for the player

That's not the point. The point is that all top-5 signees since 2012 (except for Zeke and the QB picked #2 this year) got their signing bonus up front. If you were due a $20,000 bonus but your employer wanted to defer $4,000 of it for six months, you'd be pissed, but in some homeless guy's eyes he'd wonder why you were complaining...it's a matter of both perspective and principle.
