New York Jets, Sam Darnold officially agree to rookie contract

It took a little longer than anticipated, but Sam Darnold is officially a New York Jets employee.

The third overall pick of last spring’s draft, according to Adam Schefter, is set to sign a lucrative rookie deal on Monday, cashing in with $30.25 million over four years. Darnold is at the Atlantic Health Training Center at Florham Park, where the Jets began their 2018 training camp proceedings last week.

Sam Darnold now officially has agreed in principle, per source. $30.25 million contract is fully guaranteed and includes a $20 million signing bonus.
