Article said something about signing bonus timing too.

Could be. Those are the only 2 things that rookies can really negotiate.

No signing means no practicing mean less time to prepare as a rookie 🤕

Why? This stuff happens all the time

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

7/28/21 12:53pm

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

Hup

7/28/21 12:54pm

He signed July 30

Fdnman

7/28/21 12:56pm

So Zach still has two more days

Hup

7/28/21 12:57pm

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

*The Jets. Both Lawrence and Lance have no offsets and Lawrence got his entire

Lance has offset language in there

Except that every other quarterback that has signed got what Zach wants

JOPE

Jacksonville doesn't use offsets and 30/32 teams do including the Jets. Not all

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

Rumor is no offsets and all of the bonus paid immediately.

Fdnman

7/28/21 12:55pm

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

Honor Code

Agreed. Zach is their only plan and so they need to get him in camp now.

Consensus now is that this is on the Jets, but this will shift if it drags on.

Also keep in mind it's not Zach saying he refuses to show up. He is not allowed
