The San Diego Chargers announced Wednesday they had pulled their offer to unsigned first-round draft choice Joey Bosa after he rejected their "best offer."

The Chargers said in a statement they presented Bosa with an offer on Tuesday night that included:

- an initial signing bonus payment that is larger than any rookie has received in the last two NFL drafts,

- more money in 2016 than every rookie in this year's class except the Philadelphia Eagles' Carson Wentz,

- and the "largest payment and the highest percentage of signing bonus received in the first calendar" of any Chargers first-round pick since the adoption of the NFL's collective bargaining agreement in 2011.

The Chargers said Bosa rejected the offer on Wednesday.

Bosa's camp responded with the following statement:

"It is unfortunate the San Diego Chargers have decided to manipulate facts and negotiate in the media. The team surely is not strengthening its relationship with Joey Bosa by taking this stance and making their position public.

"We have decided that we will not engage in public negotiations or discuss numbers and/or terms in this negotiation.

"We will say, that it is ironic that the team now takes issue with the timing of Joey’s arrival, since the Chargers unilaterally decided to remain silent for the first 14 days of training camp instead of replying in a timely fashion to the proposal we made on the eve of training camp on July 28th.

"At this point, all we can do is continue to fight for a fair contract on behalf of our client, as we do for all of our clients. The Chargers can focus on trying to sway public opinion, but our focus will remain on our client and securing a contract for him that is fair and consistent with his draft position."
