everything a player could ask for. He got his entire signing bonus upfront, and no offset language at all in his contract.
So the guy picked right in front of him got the world, and the Jets are trying to hold firm on past precedent.
I heard on a podcast that in the past 10 years, the offset language has only come into play one time around the league and it was minimal. It would seem for the most part Jets fans are blaming it on the front office and ownership.
"Jets gonna Jets." The "baby powder brothers" (Johnson & Johnson, the team owners) have a reputation for tripping over mouse turds.
I just hope they come to an agreement soon, because this is not good for anybody. The Jets had a very good vibe going and this doesn't help.
