QB Zach Wilson and the #Jets have finalized his rookie contract — four years, $35.15M, fully guaranteed. It includes a $22.9M signing bonus and a fifth-year team option — the standard stuff.

That wraps up the draft class. And away they go.

How many teams do that? Ask their top three draft pick to take the signing

I thought they just want to push part of it into 2022

Was that the hangup? All about the Jets wanting to gradually pay out the bonus?

I had read there were two issues - slated signing bonus over 5 years and offset

I don't think it was five years. More like spread out over one year.

Explain it to me like I'm an idiot (because I am). What's an offset?

Can clawback some of the comp if he doesn't work out

Not a clawback. Its a "I don't pay if someone else agrees to pay." the contract

Jets cut you before the 4 years end and someone else signs you-Jets only have to

If the Jets cut him and he resigns somewhere else, the Jets are off the hook for

So with the offset.. I don't think Zach's greedy at all or his agent

It's definitely fair.

If they waive him at some point in the future, they can reduce what they owe him

Part of.
