ALF Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 NFL Network's Michael Silver reported Sunday that the contract holdup between Gang Green and Darnold's camp isn't based around "offsets or money payouts," per sources close to the negotiation Instead, the snag centers around forfeiture language, which is standard in most NFL contracts and a parameter the Jets include in all their deals with players. Essentially, forfeiture language allows the team to recoup money if a player is injured while engaging in certain activities outside of football, with Silver offering "skiing" and "mountain climbing" as examples. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000942921/article/sam-darnold-deal-holdup-hinges-on-forfeiture-language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switz1610 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I scanned this thread very quickly but there was a provision that all of the contract's guaranteed money voided if he was disciplined by the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Poster Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 To be fair Darnold has to beat out an actual stable of capable QBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCown is 39, a career journeyman backup who even the Browns didn’t want, and has a record of 23-50. Bridgewater has a bionic leg and hasn’t played in 2 years. As the 3rd overall pick, he should be better than either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was by far the worst selection IMHO of the group. Seemed all hype and no substance really to me. A few Jets buddies feel the same. They wanted our guy!

At least they both have quality character thing going for them (as far as we can tell). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time will certainly tell but gotta root for our guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he knows he sucks and knows the Jets are literal QB pergatory. I’d get everything I could and fleece those green idiots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgewater has a bionic leg and hasn’t played in 2 years. As the 3rd overall pick, he should be better than either. McCown threw for nearly 3k yards and 18 TDs in 13 games last year. Bridgewater was a promising young QB before his horrific injury. Both have more than 2 NFL wins under their belts (what our elite stable combined has). Give me the shpiel on our QBs now. I'm waiting. I didn't say they have Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. I said capable NFL QBs. Edited July 31, 2018 by Elite Poster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
