This is the definition of a no-brainer. The Chargers have exercised the fifth-year option on defensive end Joey Bosa, a source tells Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter).

In his first two NFL seasons, Bosa racked up a combined 23 sacks and 111 tackles. Last year, Bosa missed the bulk of the season with a bone bruise, but still managed 5.5 sacks and 23 tackles in seven games.
It took a while for the No. 3 overall pick in the 2016 draft to put pen to paper, but he has blossomed into one of the league’s most terrifying edge rushers. He also serves as the signal caller of the Bolts’ defense. Simply put, Bosa is indispensable.
In 2020, Bosa will earn $14.360MM. After that, the Chargers will have to give Bosa a long-term deal at the top of the market or use the pricey franchise tag to stall. The Bolts, in theory, could use three consecutive franchise tags on Bosa, but it seems unlikely that he’d cooperate with a second tag and, even if he were willing to go with the flow, a third tag would be wildly expensive (assuming the tag system remains in place under the next collective bargaining agreement).
Speaking of the Bosa family, it sounds like Nick Bosa is a real possibility for the Cardinals at No. 1 overall. Even if Arizona passes on Bosa with the top choice, it’s unlikely that he’ll last long on Thursday.
that’s one cursed image right there
Not worth money he’s getting, but his brother will be the same as him injury prone with any team that takes him in the first round
Agreed. Good player but you know he will be a headache financially and injury prone. Nick barely played last year due to injury and he’ll go in the top 3, which is pretty crazy.
Bosa “had an injury” at Ohio State. The whole world knows he was milking it for the NFL. Him and his brother are monsters. I would love Mrs Bosa on my team.
Bosa is a monster. 14 million is easily worth it and if he misses some games so be it Wouldn’t give him AD99 money but he is definitely an elite player
Lol speak for yourself. I love Bosa. He’s a great leader. Pay the man. It’s not my money
Nick will not make it past the 49ers at #2.
