and a 6th.

Dude's gotta learn the difference between errant and errand. He's supposed to be a professional writer.

He had to borrow it from his mom. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app

I agree that most people stealing food are probably hungry but I had a rich friend at our Ivy League school who was suspended for stealing boxes of cereal from the refectory (more than once) -- all the while they were going out to dinner nearly every night at fancy restaurants that I couldn't afford. Some people do it just because they can, or for a thrill.

Time for someone to get creative and make a compromise offer that will allow each side to save face and get the deal done.

I may have misunderstood. If you are correct, then it makes me a little pissed at the Jets. And the only other issue that could be in play (dates of payments of bonuses) should be an absolute non-issue. If you can afford to own an NFL team, you can afford to pay these bonuses within a few weeks.

Apparently only 2 teams out of 32 have taken this position on offsets and the Jets are one of them. And if you caved on Darnold, why wouldn't you cave for Wilson? And by the way, as bad as Darnold was, caving on the offset language didn't cause the Jets one red cent.

I suspect that he'll take it back next year if Fant is cut.

I mean no offense but ... this is indescribably stupid.

Well that's comforting.

If it's any help, I heard his old man interviewed and he was honest that their initial concerns were that the Jets had not won for a while but as soon as they met the brain trust and did their due diligence they were excited about the Jets' situation. (I suspect that initial disappointment may also have been caused by BYU's Steve Young's history with the Niners).

I am annoyed too but I expect that it is just brinksmanship and they'll make a last minute compromise. Maybe he'll miss a day or two (which would be a shame, but not the end of the world). I just wouldn't put it all on Zach. It is not unreasonable for a 21 year old kid with no business experience to rely on the advice of professionals that he has hired to represent him. I bet he wants to be there more than anyone.

Did you misread something?

Lol. Everybody acts like he is going to inherit his uncle's money. That's not how it works. His uncle's money has nothing to do with his decisions here. He just wants what the other guys at his level are getting and the Johnsons (or JD?), for whatever reason, are being skinflints. You are usually very positive. Sorta odd to see you this worked up and angry about something this inconsequential. He will be in for the start of training camp.
