Must have been people on unemployment, welfare and receiving food stamps who are just jealous.

I'll unbuttfumble you.  I'm not always that attuned to who is being funny and when.

Josh Allen signed his deal this morning.  Darnold should get done this afternoon.

First practice isn't till Friday. I would be surprised if the deal doesn't get done on time for that.

Friday. Good. Until then he can practice playing Madden and stay up to speed.

This is about the way I first thought the chanches would go.  Thought McCown was a shoo in.

During the Spring I really got the feeling that the Jets FO really wanted Darnold out there opening day.  Like the odds, think I'll put a few pence on Darnold

I would too if I were a betting man.  They've got to get this show on the road.  It's harder to learn as a backup than it used to be.  Unless he is overwhelmed, I think he is going to start week one.

[IndianaJet]

Came to report that Josh Allen is now signed, leaving Darnold as the only one of the first 4 QBs choosen who hasn't inked his deal.

Now I'm gonna stick around for the SOJF implosion......

Glad he doesn't have to fly in from Cali after they reach agreement.

Me too. That would be a sign he is dug in for a battle. 

Being in NY means this is just hardball negotiations, very routine

Doesn't that only come into play if they cut him during his first contract?  What are the chances of that happening?  Get it done.

Agents like to win those parts of the negotiation because it helps them recruit more clients.

Have any of the first three QBs drafted signed yet?  Don't think so.  This isn't a Mac thing.

Yeah, who holds the GM responsible for signing the #1 pick on time for reporting day, I mean, CRAZY right?

Also, Mayfield and Allen have reportedly already agreed to their terms.  So yeah.

A team as sh*t as ours should be cognizant of PR, and the bad look of not having your golden boy new QB in camp on reporting day, even if it means little as long as he's here by Friday.

And I'm sure the teams like to win it too so they can say, "we don't do that for anyone."  But this is Darnold and they should be able to work it out before Friday.

With Mayfield, Barkley and Allen signed, I fully expect Darnold to get signed today or tomorrow.

[Dcat]

You don't have to be a genius to figure this out (slotting is a beautiful thing.  Best CBA provision ever!)

1. Mayfield - $32,683,000 fully guaranteed (includes $21,849,000 signing bonus)

2. Barkley - $31,195,000 fully guaranteed (includes $20,767,000 signing bonus)

3. Darnold -

4. Ward  -

5. Chubb - $27,271,000 fully guaranteed (includes $17,914,000 signing bonus)

6. Nelson - $23,899,000 fully guaranteed (includes $15,454,000 signing bonus)

7. Allen - $21,183,000 fully guaranteed (includes $13,486,000 signing bonus)

8. Smith -

It gets done today or tomorrow..that’s my guess. Allen just signed.

Sam Darnold is represented by the same agency. Expect the Jets rookie QB to sign his deal next. He'll be on the field for the team's first practice on Friday.

Sam Darnold's slotted rookie contract will be a fully guaranteed four-year deal for ~$30.25 million with a signing bonus of ~$20 million. Jets will have a fifth-year team option.

[Dinamite]

Ward, the 4th pick just signed.   So it looks like Darnold should know exactly where he should fit in slot wise.

I wouldn't poo poo it too much.  Every snap counts when you are trying to win a job as a rookie.

It doesn't when no one really cares (or more to the point, no one really should care) if he wins the job from day 1.

If he's going to be that negatively impacted by sitting home for an extra 1-4 days in July then he isn't 1/10 the prospect he's been made out to be.

Good reminder here that the total/guaranteed money in rookie deals is slotted, and was negotiated as part of the 2011 CBA. Any wiggle room relates to contract language and cashflow.

I imagine being a sports agent would be a nice job. I bet they roll in the dough too with the amount of players they represent, they get a fine cut out of each contract.

There should be multiple articles that you can find by doing a google search of "slotted NFL rookie salaries"  from the time the CBA was approved that talk about that change.  I've never read that part of the actual CBA, but know that all draft picks will have slotted salaries that depend on where the player was drafted.  So by logic, if we know #1 & #2 as well as #5 and #6, we can easily see where Darnold's numbers should land, give or take a few hundred thousand dollars.

one of my ex-employee's husband is a Sports agent who represents several NFL and multiple MLB, NHL and NBA players.  He's by no means one of the more famous ones.  Need I say, they are quite well off.
