SAN DIEGO -- Defensive end Joey Bosa ended his monthlong holdout Monday when he signed a four-year contract with the San Diego Chargers.The team announced the signing five days after the two sides went public in their nasty spat over payment of Bosas $17 million signing bonus and whether the contract would have offset language. The signing also came a day after San Diegos defense played poorly in a 23-10 exhibition loss at Minnesota.Im happy to be here and there is no animosity between us, Bosa said. Its just a matter of business and Im happy to have it out of the way. I am very relieved. I knew this was going to get done. I was surprised how long it took. Of course I would have loved to have been out there with my teammates but the NFL is a business.We just wanted what was fair and what people in that position got the last four or five years, Bosa added.Coach Mike McCoy said he heard of Bosa agreeing to terms before Sundays game and said he had to keep it to myself.Hes here to help us win and I told the team hes here to help us win, McCoy said. Regardless of when he got here, lets go.The Chargers threatened last Wednesday to reduce their offer to Bosa under the assumption he wouldnt be ready to play a full season. Bosa, the No. 3 overall pick out of Ohio State, was the last rookie to sign. The Chargers said last week that they had given Bosas agents their best offer and that it was rejected. Brian Ayrault, Bosas main representative, replied with his own statement saying the team had manipulated the facts and that going public would not strengthen the teams relationship with the player.There was no immediate indication of what led to the deal getting done.Bosa said hes capable of playing in the opener on Sept. 11 at the Kansas City Chiefs.Im obviously a step behind the other guys this late into the game, Bosa said.

Wish we pulled an Eli Manning on draft day.On Thursday, Cheryl Bosa retweeted an article critical of the Chargers and added the comment, The Chargers were petty and terrible even before they tried to stiff Joey Bosa.What do you expect a mom to do?

He held out for 41 days as a rookie.Bosa missed 31 days but said he followed a stringent workout regimen while away.I was doing everything I could to be ready when I showed up here, Bosa said.
