Source: Jets agree to terms on a four-year deal with first-round pick Quinton Coples

BY MANISH MEHTA

The Daily News first reported on Twitter on Thursday that the Jets have agreed to terms on a deal with first-round pick Quinton Coples. It's a standard four-year deal (full guaranteed) with a fifth-year team option.
The Jets now have two unsigned draft picks remaining: third-rounder Demario Davis and seventh-rounder Jordan White.

This deal got done relatively fast there's not alot of 1st rounders signed right now

General Managers factor in who a player's agent is when they are making the decision to draft. it's not the only factor but it's gotta be in their heads. i don't know who Coples agent is but id bet money it's not Revis' agent.

This new system is no joke. Players rush to sign now. Quite a change from the old days.

Its insane how much the draft changed from previous years. Its good to know we wont have a Crabtree esque holdout on our hands

It would have been nice if Vernon Gholston held out years ago. But it doesn't matter now.

I really think the name Vernon Gholston should be considered profanity and starred out here on Jetnation. Just a suggestion.

It’s been a busy day for the Jets front office, just hours after signing round seven pick Antonio Allen, the Daily News is reporting they have signed first round pick (#16 overall) defensive end Quinton Coples to a guaranteed four-year contract:

It matters to me. Hate that bitch!

Only a 4 year deal for a 1st round pick? Hmmm. I'm no contract/cap guy...is that normal? Isnt it typically 5+? New CBA?

Anywhere from 4-6 is normal, and according to what's up there there's an option for a 5th.

If he's any good he'll be locked up before the contract is up anyway. It's the NFL, length of a contract means jack sh*t in this league anyway.

OTOH, looks like Coples wasn't so lazy when it comes to getting paid.

if anyone cares I met Jon Gruden yesterday and he hates Coples.

Hopefully he stays that way, which, honestly, I think he will. Almost every (Jets) player has been ripped apart this year for something, and each one knows his flaw and what he needs to brush up on.

[SenorGato]

He may know his flaw and not care, hence becoming a Jef during the reign of Bean Man and Wrecks.

Which Team is he the Head Coach of now? - Let's see how the kid plays on the field, I'm hoping he's the 10 sack interior line we've missed since Dennis Byrd. (by the way one of my fav Jets and people).

I'm grateful for it. There's no reason to pay these guys coming out elite money before they earn it. It was a crazy system

Well, in his defense, Coples DID steal his lunch money. It's only natural for Gruden to have ill feelings towards him.
