It seems like most of the NFL teams want the off set in the contract, not just the Jets.

 

How offset language in NFL contracts works

Originally posted on Pro Football Rumors
By Zachary Links  |  Last updated 4/10/21

Ever since the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement, rookie contracts have been fairly regimented. Now, negotiations between teams and draft picks go pretty smoothly, with few – if any – unsigned rookies by the time training camp starts. 

These days, if there is haggling, it’s usually due to offset language. Offset language relates to what happens to a player’s salary if he’s cut during the first four years of his career, while he’s still playing on his rookie deal. For the top 15 to 20 picks in the draft, those four-year salaries are fully guaranteed, even if a player is waived at some point during those four seasons. For example, if a player has $4 million in guaranteed money remaining on his contract and is cut, he’ll still be owed that $4 million.

However, if a team has written offset language into the contract, that club can save some money if and when the player signs with a new team. For example, if that player who had $4 million in guaranteed money left on his contract signs with a new club on a $1 million deal, his old team would only be on the hook for $3 million, with the new team making up the difference. If there’s no offset language on that first deal, the old team would continue to be on the hook for the full $4 million, and the player would simply earn an additional $1 million from his new club.

In 2015, Marcus Mariota‘s camp went back and forth with the Titans until the two sides finally agreed to partial offset language in late July. In 2016, Joey Bosa’s holdout dominated headlines until the linebacker inked his deal on Aug. 29. In most cases, a lack of offsets for a player simply depends on which team drafted him — clubs such as the Rams and Jaguars traditionally haven’t pushed to include offsets in contracts for their top picks, even in an era when most other teams around the league do.

Last year, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Panthers defensive lineman Derrick Brown were the first Round 1 picks to sign and they agreed to offset language. It’s impossible to gauge how this year’s top stars will approach those talks, but offsets rarely come into play for elite prospects – few top picks flame out badly enough to get cut inside of four years. And even in those rare instances, if a player has performed poorly enough to be cut in his first few years, he likely won’t land a big-money deal elsewhere, so offset language wouldn’t help his old club recover more than the league minimum.

@Jet Nut

Busted.

Please don't become hypocritical with me when I was using Zach Wilson's holdout as a way of teasing fans such as yourself (to come at me out of the woodworks because I play chess and not checkers). 

Before jumping down my throat would you care to explain yourself to me (and all of us) for these posts (below) regarding one of the greatest coverage CBs of All-Time over his holding out? 

You were PISSED!

You were absolutely furious about Revis holding out but yet you feel the need to judge me over an unproven Rookie holding out of a guaranteed $35.2 million dollar contract?

1.) "Because he broke or threatened to break every contract he signed after holding out to get those contracts"?

2.) I don't care why, he held out, that's what I said. He held out of his first deal with two years left on it. He wanted 6 years, the Jets wanted to give him 5 and he held out after 4. Doesn't make a difference how well he played, if he didn't play up to his rookie deal would he have given money back? He was set to opt out of his last deal, that's why he was traded. Everyone knows it, that's why he wanted it in the deal.You're making excuses for him. He was a great player for the Jets but Revis is what he is.

3.) Yes you are, you're saying there were reasons he held out of a 6 year deal in year 4. I love the way the guy played for us. But he's a money hungry, pay me first player who has never felt compelled to honor his deal.

4.) You keep explaining why he held out to tell me he didn't hold out or to justify it. My statements are true, he held out I don't know why you keep making excuses, I could care less why he held out, he held out twice and was going to opt out a third time.

5.) Exactly, Revis collected 4'years salary off of his initial deal. Even if his yearly salary at that point was below what he could get and did get, did he give back any of his initial bonus? It was a bonus that was supposed to be part of a 6 year deal, not a 4 year deal. Have to calculate that money into his deal.

6.) They do it all the time. Sign a 6 year deal for say 60 mil with bonus money, stagger the payments, big bucks within the first 4 years and as soon as they hit a season where they aren't being paid huge money they cry that they're the 32nd highest paid player at a position. Even if the 60 mil deal put them at the top of the heap.

7.) What is you're friggen point? We would have been watching the same two corners against the raiders.A ngry, no. Are you so in love with Revis that you think because you love him his holdout isn't really a holdout? That was the point, apparently you can't get past that. You continue to argue that his holdout was justified. Which doesn't make my comment that he held out wrong. Just as it doesn't make your silly response that I rewrote history and more right, it's not. And one more time, read it slow, it's not what you're paid in a particular year, it's the entire contract. If you sign a deal that pays you well and they front load the deal, to your benefit, and then at the end of the deal your salary isn't in the top of the league, you're not underpaid. This can't be that hard.

8.) Who cares if he was overpaid or underpaid? I said he held out, who give a damn why. He held out. Who cares that you think it was fine, you miss your guy, we get it. Are you serious, no one could struggle this much for something this easy to understand.

9.) Are you serious? You're so he'll bent on arguing that you're not using your head. I tell you that my point was that he held out twice and your answer is that my point is the only one that counts? Considering I brought up that he held out, yes, it's the one at counts. What are you talking about? On get it, you made excuses why he held out. It was Tannys fault, and you're blindly going to tell us that he wasn't going to opt out of a deal he made sure had an pit out in it. Ok, good for you, everything Revis has been and is says he would NEVER have taken the opt out that he negotiated into his deal. I have a bridge to sell you.

10.) When he held out the Jets essentially gave him a 1 year deal knowing he would opt out in year 2. Tampa essentially gave him a 1 year deal by not guaranteeing him any $$ NE essentially gave him a 1 year deal by giving him 20 mil next year with a buy out.

And I'll stop there @ 10 different and separate posts. 

You think you can judge me for being just a little frustrated with an unproven Rookie QB drafted #2 overall who's holding out heading into training camp despite the fact you were an absolute JET NUT about Revis's holding out? 

Treat others how you'd like to be treated in return and PS I couldn't care less about Zach Wilson holding out I just wanted to give him the "Revis and Adams" treatment in order for fans such as yourself to take shots @ me this way I could fire shots back. 

You're the #1 poster who I was hoping would question me about being fake frustrated about Wilson's holding out as an unproven Rookie ?

You are one weird dude.

I was actually mocking (some) of our fan base and was being sarcastic by giving the kid the "Darrelle Revis" treatment for holding out so please spare me the lectures. 

I'm the one who had the back of Revis for wanting him to be paid accordingly (during his prime and before the ACL) and I was attacked by this fan base because of it and I could bump the thread if you really want me to).

(PS: Don't let me ever find a post of you crapping all over Revis and Jamal due to contact demands because if I do? They'll be very hypocritical of you).

For the record, I was also very strongly in defense of Revis getting anything and everything that he possibly could. If you decide to go back and search for your posts on the subject, you’ll find mine. That said, Jamal is an ass and there’s no similarity to Zach in either scenario. 

[Larz]

So I have no idea if it’s accurate, but if he’s in California to train with John beck that’s really disappointing 

he needs to be much closer to NJ

this is a weak and transparent ploy 

lousy start for his career

Nothing worse than being a hypocritical type of hypocrite sports fan. 

So it's not ok for me to make a couple of posts showing disappointment over our #2 overall pick and unproven Rookie refusing to sign a guaranteed $35.2 million dollar contract? 

But it's ok for you to question me despite the fact that you made over 100 posts of Revis bashing (and I only quoted you on 10 of them) and HATED one of the greatest coverage CBs and our greatest Jets Defensive player of All-Time?!? Over a freaking contract holdout?!? That was NOT a team distraction and "just business"?!?!?

Get off your high horse my dude and stop nitpicking my every thought here on JN and first look in the mirror at yourself before doing so. 

Deal? Let's enjoy the 2021-2022 season without calling one another out 24/7 because you harping all over me for being disappointed in Wilson potentially missing the start of training camp is nothing compared to the anger and hatred you gave REVIS over HIS holdout!

The difference is Revis was a future lock for the HOF during his holdouts and at least Jamal on the FOOTBALL FIELD was an All Pro and Pro Bowler who later gave us both Alijah Vera-Tucker and a soon to be 2022 A+ prospect (hopefully).

Zach Wilson? He's unproven. A rookie. And in CALIFORNIA right now currently REFUSING to sign a guaranteed $35.2 million dollar contract. 

To hate Revis and Adams but give this rookie kid a FREE PASS is extremely hypocritical man.

It's his job.  He's going to listen to his agents and sign when they say it's a good deal. 

It's good news he is working with a coach and he already has the playbook, but the fact he's on the wrong coast doesn't sound like the deal is close.

Don't bother making Zach Wilson excuses either because "he held out and I don't care why he held out because he held out" (your words, not mine).

Busted?  I was absolutely furious when Revis held out?  LOL, who do you think youre talking to?  I wasnt furious but guess what, Zach isnt holding out while under contract.  Thats the difference between Revis, Adams and a rookie looking to sign his first deal.

And of course, Zach isnt holding out, learn, hes not a holdout until and if he misses time.  He hasnt

Zach's agents hold the cards a bit, since the jets have no alternative plan for a starting QB and have put all their eggs on Wilson starting. They need him there for every rep.   The agents know this.

"he held out and it doesn't matter why he held out because he held out".

"He held out and it doesn't matter why he held out because he held out". 

And I can give two flying pigs how you try and "spin it" because I much rather have supported a future HOF All-Time great coverage CB who was demanding more $ than an unproven Rookie who's refusing to sign a GUARANTEED $35.2 million dollar contract!

It goes both ways. 

Let me ask you a question @Dinamite 

Because I already know you're a hard working man...

A.) If I offered to give you a GUARANTEED $35.2 million dollar contract are you going to immediately sign?

B.) Or are you going to refuse the guaranteed $35,000,000 contract while flying to California over some horse crap language? 

If your answer is anything but A.) I won't believe you.

It’s just business. If I’m Wilson’s rep I tell him we don’t really know where JD stands on the offset issue until the last moment. Because up until then, its JD trying to get the best deal he can, but at zero hour then, and only then, will we know if JD will cave on this issue. Impatient negotiators are bad negotiators.

From JDs perspective, he’d better not cave because than agents will rightly think if they wait JD out, they’ll get a better offer. It’s better to cultivate the reputation of someone who makes their best offer after a little haggling and then doesn’t budge. JD is pretty new at this, the agents are just testing his limits.

Cave on what though? Why would Douglas care about offset language, it's dead money either way- if Wilson busts hard enough where the Jets have to release him before year 3...then he's getting fired anyway.

Zach has a clean slate here, at least with me. Just like Revis did as a rookie when the Johnsons were trying to shove some bull**** contract his way way back when. Jamal Adams, on the other hand, shot his way out of town and burned every bridge behind him on the way out. **** that overrated ****. I hope Seattle lets him play out the fifth year option this year, and slaps him with the franchise tag next year. That’s what they’d do if they decided not to throw good money after a bad decision.

Why would Douglas care about offset language, it's dead money either way- if Wilson busts hard enough where the Jets have to release him before year 3...then he's getting fired anyway. This is the Johnson's/Elhai building in a safety net so they  don't have to pay Wilson if he sucks. Why draft a kid #2 if you have concerns he wont work out? 

What does JD care? He works for a business. That means the job includes being responsible with the finances and not giving away money if that can be avoided.

This is the only way to look at it! You pick 2 and worry about year 4 and offset language or bonus payout timeframe for a QB!?! The negative implications that doing this so early in JD’s career can have an impact in future drafts.

Look at San Diego, not just the Eli situation but they always have extended holdouts over rookie contracts.
