Uh, sorry, but they've paid the signing bonus within 15 days on multiple occasions, including Sam Darnold. Most likely they were holding out on the signing bonus payment as a negotiating tactic. They "gave in" on the signing bonus payment in order to keep the offset language. Smart move by JD. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 10 minutes ago, SackExchangeNYJ said: It was, and it wasn't. What I mean is, the Jets only used the deferred payments as a bargaining chip. They wanted to keep the offsets, like 29 other teams, but knew they needed to have a bargaining chip they could give up. If Wilson's agent had not played hardball, this likely is signed before camp. For a guy who had no problem representing Burrow when he signed his rookie deal with offsets, they sure were important to him in this negotiation. Suspect Burrow told Ayrault the main thing was getting into camp on time. Wilson wasn't as smart and thought his agent was really his friend.

Maynard13 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 This shows Zach has way bigger cajones than Darnold regarding the offsets. IMO, if you cant take the heat, get out the kitchen. Zach believes in himself. I like that. If you bomb, then you deserve to be cut. At this point, its more then about the money. He's got his signing bonus, the Jets got their sign off insurance. Now its show me time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been all beaten to a collective pulp for supporting this team through the decades (many decades for many of us) and it's high time they prove they are different. I'm just wondering what the next pitch fork movement on JD will be about. Any predictions? Best bet: Mims. Could be Mims, but could also be Ashtyn Davis or Jabari Zuniga. You KNOW that Jets fans always want to fire everyone associated with the Jets for one reason or another. Personally, I choose not to panic until our season is officially over, which usually occurs around week 5 unfortunately... 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like Zack’s agent said three months ago let’s get this deal done right now… He’d be a terrible agent if you didn’t wait to see what the other agents could get from their teams. Then why did Lawrence sign long ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The agent has no leverage until training camp so no real negations will start till then. If this offer was given a month ago the agent would have rejected it and come harder on the offset, Its done now so lets just enjoy zach at camp Why did every other pick in the league get signed before missing a practice?

CanadaSteve Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 So, what are a certain 12 posters on this fan-site going to do now that he has signed, which was going to happen anyway? I'm just curious what the next bus is they will have to invent to try and throw Joe Douglas under to prove their 'wokeness.' 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 i can see the jets being resistant to the offsets but the signing bonus was set and zwill was going to get that money anyway. admittedly shelling out 22.9 million all at once is a pretty big nut but the jets should easily be able to cover it.
