A source told Breer the deal includes offset language, or the ability for a team to retain money if the player is released in the fourth year of his contract. Offsets were a point of contention between Joey Bosa, the third overall pick in last year's draft, and the then-San Diego Chargers. He eventually signed after a lengthy holdout.
