Jets are close to ending the Sam Darnold madness

The end of Sam Darnold’s holdout appears near.

The Jets and Darnold’s representatives were talking Monday, and the belief is the two sides could reach a deal shortly, according to a source.

Darnold has missed the first three days of training camp as he and the Jets haggled over language in his four-year, $30 million contract. The Jets have practice at 1:50 p.m., and it seems unlikely that Darnold could practice Monday. He may need to go through some procedural things like a physical before he is able to practice.

The Jets drafted Darnold No. 3 overall and hope they have found their franchise quarterback.
