Sexton is a ****, man. Just our luck that Darnold hires him. But yeah, you are right. I could see the exact same thing unfolding. It’s mad disappointing..

HelenOfTroy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Dcat said: then why didn't he do that for Josh Allen too? Because Allen told him to knock off this sh*t and get him in camp on time. Sexton acquiesced. Apparently, Darnold is taking the opposite stance and encouraging his agent to fight for this. THis is on Darnold, not the agent. Bills had no problem with the agent, did they? Question, how do you know the Bills used the same language as the Jets in Josh's contract? We really don't know what the holdup is, neither do the so-called media "insiders" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelenOfTroy Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 1 hour ago, flgreen said: More then likely Darnold has just turned the lawyer stuff over to his lawyer while he concentrates on playing football. Yes, he can say "I'll sign anything" but if he's smart he'll let the guy he hired do his job. Sexton is a tough bastard. Interesting to me that Sexton represents our teddy bear of a HC at USC, maybe Coach Helton recommended him because Sam is so easy going and amicable.

MaxAF Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 19 minutes ago, Dcat said: the delay isn't over the money. The salary and Bonus are slotted. The delay is over offset language and/or the timing of the signing bonus payments. Do you think the way he gets his signing bonus money effects the way the agent is paid. For instance if he gets it all up front or gets it over the length of his contract and it’s not all guaranteed if he’s not on the Jets after this year or next year, that would cut into the agents earnings. I’m just saying after seeing where my 4 kids were at 21 and somebody who wanted to play as bad as he says he does and a team willing to throw him 30 million do you really think he is holding out his agent on technicalities. Or is his agent who’s “a dick to deal with” is advising him to hold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically there is no rush this morning to cave from either side, it will be this evening into the night hours tonight where it will become who blinks first, the last thing the Jets want is to have this big grandiose special PSL only practice, and not have Darnold signed, and in uniform practicing, and wonder if Sexton plans on pushing it to late tonight to see if the Jets do cave with that practice in mind.

Jackie Treehorn Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Anyway you see this it does reflect poorly on Sammy’s “all about football”-image. I can’t really see how the entire blame can fall on the agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the notion that I get from all this. But to me it’s like Hawkeye said...Sam should tell him, “look, either you get me on the football field for my first practice or i’m looking for a new agent. This looks bad on me and makes me seem as if I don’t want to be out there with my teammates on my very first TC.” Of course Sam probably wouldn’t do that, that is slightly aggressive of him to say but hell something needs to be said from Darnold end on an attempt to push Sexton’s side because Sexton doesn’t want to budge and he most likely thinks he can get what he desires out of the Jets and it’s erking him that he’s not getting it. This is turning into a Sexton vs the Jets thing and it’s going to have Sam suffer because of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I was actually going to go to training camp tomorrow - but not if Darnold is still unsigned.

I think most fans are pointing the finger at either him or Sammy...........either way, this tactic isnt working and the kid is probably getting pissed that he is looking like the bad guy. I give it til high noon. Also one has to look at history here. Even if you think that Mac has been an average GM, which I tend to believe he has; he has Never Ever taken advantage of a player in contract negotiations, especially at the QB position. The contracts that Maccagnan gave Fitzpatrick and McCown were sweetheart deals, and ones which no one in the NFL as far as we know was offering them. I am 100% behind Sam and we really don’t know what is going on but one thing is clear IMO Mac is not trying to take advantage of Sam Darnold.

Greenseed4 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Who cares? Josh Allen is so bad he’s getting standing ovations for every completion he makes. The Mayfield hype-train has run out of coal, (or steam, or whatever the hell trains run on these days). He was praised for NOT running-for-his-life, and Hue Jack indicated that it’s going to be a process to teach him to stay in the pocket. Rosen... I’ve got nothing. He’s probably going to be amazing on the field, but so annoying at the podium, that it would be a weird dynamic; rooting for someone you can’t tolerate. Similar to watching any movie with Dwayne Johnson in it. When Sam DOES take the field, he’ll be the best option for this team moving forward, bar none. His contract will get signed. All of this frustration will go away. Bosa was a #3 in 2016, his hold-out sucked, and then his four game injury sucked, but nobody’s complaining about his talent NOW; double-digit sacks in both years.

PepPep Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I don't see what the big deal is and why everyone is up in arms about this. 1st day of practice is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Furthermore, this happens ALL THE TIME with high draft picks. MacC is doing due diligence pouring over the contract details, as a good GM should. So is Darnold's agent, as a good agent should. This is not really news and will not have an impact on anything. He will be signed soon and all of this will be forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold's agent only has so much he can squabble over. As you said, the rookie wage scale is set. And that is what is happening now. They are squabbling over the details. This happens all the time with high draft picks. In this case, the Jets have 2 veteran QBs and can very much wait Darold out. It's a bad look for Darnold to be doing this- IMO. You can put whatever spin you want on it but he WILL sign with the Jets and its a bad start for a rookie to have tension with his new team's brass before he has set foot on the field.

Jetster Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think I know what's going on here. Darnold told Jimmy Sexton, "listen, Josh McCown is an old fart whose hurt every year & Teddy Bridgewater has a spaghetti leg. They both blow chunks & im already better than them and every damn coach & player that were there at OTAs knows it. Hold out for whatever you can, I was the best QB in this draft!"

Maybe his offset language is that they fire Bowles and then he signs. If so , I will go buy a Darnold Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
