We’ve been hearing a ton about offset language the last day or so. Within an NFL contract, offset language prevents a team from needing to pay a player the full amount it originally owed him if that player is cut and signs with another team.
An apparent disagreement over this concept is what’s delaying the signing of quarterback Zach Wilson‘s rookie contract. Because of this, the No. 2 overall pick isn’t present at Jets training camp and wasn’t on the field for the organization’s first full-team practice Wednesday.
Wilson will be fine at some point, but still has a lot to learn at such a young age and must be practicing sooner than later.
