Why? This stuff happens all the time

Rarely this late, usually only one or two...and it had to be Zach

Darnold held out for a really long time. It's the front office getting the blame

Hup

He signed July 30

Fdnman

7/28/21 12:56pm

So Zach still has two more days

Hup

AND, Darnold was not able to get rid of the offsets he wanted to

Is this a money thing? I’d love to know what his agent is demanding

This is on the Jets. Zach holds the cards. Jets have ZERO options after him. Jets need to humble up and accommodate
