Only Darnold and Roquon Smith are the 1st rounders still unsigned. I am sure it must be his agent pulling this stunt, I doubt that this is Darnold"s, idea. Right now I am not ready to blame Mac. His agent doesn't care about Darnold's progress in training camp all the agent cares is if he can get a bigger agent fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to sportac, Allen, who has the same agent, was given his total bonus money up front. I would guess they want the same for Darnold. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/josh-allen-25102/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfuel34 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 If I was Sam I would fire this agent. The first thing I would tell my agent is that I'm not missing TC so you BETTER have this done or I will get someone that will get it done. We have half hour before practice I hope he signs today.

This is a bad job by Darnold and his agent over something as dumb as double dipping on a contract if you are cut. First mistake by Darnold here hopefully it's one day and he smartens up.

Rockice_8 Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Don't think he's even in the building at this point. Hopefully he's parked around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah like he's the guy going forward, I understand it being a business but this is almost petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekill08x Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Yeah horrible job by all parties. I think everyone expects Lee to take a huge jump this year. I sadly just don't see it at all. Not even being negative. He just simply doesn't have the instincts to play the position in the NFL. I pray I am wrong because it would be nice if he blossomed, but I just don't see it. He needs to add weight too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doumeyer Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 First day of practice Mc Cown,, looked real shape and out played Bridgewater. If this agent Jim Sexton doesn't get his act together and have Darnold sign, we will be looking at Mc Cown, starting the season, and none of us want to see that.

All you have to do is look back at the Bosa holdout to find what this is about, either deferred money, double dipping or both . The big difference is Bosa was going to see time after holding out because of his position, Darnold is losing a chance to move up the depth chart.

NYJets4716 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 From what Manish reported, seems like this is completely Darnold's agent's fault and he should fire him. They are holding out for a pointless offset language that makes no sense anyways cause the Jets will not release Darnold in the next 3 yeras regardless. But for the Jets it would go against their organizational philosophy then players will know they will bend. So they have to hold strong, it is a stupid fight for Darnold. He should say screw you to his agent and sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfuel34 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If true that is pretty bad. I hope this guy is not like Revis when it comes to contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Yeah seen a post on BR saying Darnold told his agent to get the deal done immediately and apparently his agent, Jimmy Sexton, told him to let him handle the business side of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDotNova Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Bakers contract includes offset language. CAA, in addition to repping Darnold, also represents Nelson, Allen, Smith, and Ward. Bosa was also represented by CAA during his contract dispute over offset language. I know Nelson signed with the language as is. So has Mayfield. Not sure about the others. But seems like CAA keeps picking the same battle. It’s unfortunate they are Sam’s agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
