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

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

He signed July 30

Fdnman

So Zach still has two more days

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

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

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

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