I gotta admit I don't get it.  It's a rookie contract . . . what is there to negotiate?  It's all in the CBA.

Offset language (basically allowing the team to void all his guarantees if he's punished by the league for any reason). It's very rare for teams to cave on this, but Jacksonville notably did for Lawrence this year. The Jets have never caved on this and maintain a stance that they never will because if they do it for 1 player it could open the door to every other draft pick they have in the future pushing for it and saying "well Wilson got it, why can't I?" Wilson looks at it and is probably thinking Lawrence didn't have offset language and why should his guaranteed money be at the mercy of a ridiculous league that can screw players over as they see fit at times.

 

Most notable hold out due to this was Joey Bosa with the Chargers, he held out well into training camp I believe. Don't remember the exact resolution but I think the Chargers upped his upfront signing bonus in exchange for him agreeing to have the offset language in the contract.

Too add to what you said, Offset language stops the Team from paying you while another team is paying you. So if Wilson were to be cut with 4 million remaining on his deal, then he signs a new deal with another team for 1 million, The Jets would only owe him 3 Million while the new team would owe him 1. It's a way for the team to protect themselves financially, but I honestly don't blame Wilson at all. 

Someone did the math and the likelihood of Wilson being cut year 4 just for poor performance/off field issues would have the team still on the hook for pennies on the dollar of the overall contract. 

If you think you have a franchise QB, you don't leave offset language in the contract. They are being incredibly stupid and stubborn and showing everyone why the Jets have sucked so much for so long.

Wilson holds the leverage here.

Though do note--The majority of the league doesn't budge on this and the NYJ won't cave.  They are one of 30 teams that simply don't do contracts without offset language.

Wilson is using the leverage likely for a bigger signing bonus upfront.  All at the expense of valuable time w/ the team and dragging this into the public eye.  Just an odd way to start out.  Strikes me as a pretty picky upfront signing tactic but whatever floats his boat.

Lol exactly. Just stupid. Did he get his cousin friend who is an expert on Madden to represent him?

      I'm used to people crapping on the panthers in public spaces. I used to have to defend Cam fugging Newton until I was blue. I come here to talk Panthers and it is literally the same 5 posters you see in this very thread saying the same things, every single day. it's not about having tough skin, it's the constant negativity by the same people. its boring, its annoying, it clogs discussions. this place has really changed and I regret signing back in. I only have like 5 mins a day to spend consuming panthers content and its always the same posters and same crap. we used to have a 6'6 gunslinging battery ram, and he would constantly get dragged through the mud for not being enough, or doing this or that or not diving on a fumble. at the end of the day, it's a people problem. people love to bitch and complain. they'll never be content, they'll never just sit back and root the team on. we had one of the best teams in the NFL on the ropes to move onto the next round of the playoffs while the stadium was alive and well and that wasn't even enough to just enjoy the show.

      Anybody else see that the panthers have the fewest miles travelled of any team this year? Don’t know it matters too much but it can’t hurt 🤷‍♂️
