Sam Darnold

I didn’t think much of this kid coming out I thought he was a project. He sure isn’t helping himself with this hold out boy needs reps and he is giving away valuable ones he will never get back. Rookie contracts are not that hard sign it and get in camp. If he doesn’t sign in a day or two I see no chance of him seeing the field this season.

Surprised about holdouts now. Guess one thing about R. Smith and the helmet rule, another about a QB that has no recent changes to affect his guaranteed money.
Contracts are set, no?
Does he want more upfront?

Probably the same thing Joey Boss held out for.

I've repeatedly hear that the unreasonable party here is the Jets organization--who are adding some unusual stipulations into the contract.

He signed today

I think about 31 million in all.

Teams are fooling around with offset language in the contracts that is not to the players benefit. That is where all of these negotiations get hung up. Team's are trying to recoup gauranteed money in the event they cut the player and he resigns elsewhere..........or in Roquon Smith's case, they are trying to take any fines he incurs from that new rule off his gauraneed money. Nobody has that in their contract. So, blame the teams for these holdouts.

Gotta love it. Hasn't played a down and is paid like a prince. How much did that take from the rookie pool?
