As Sam Darnold continues to miss vital New York Jets practices because of a contractual standoff, the reason behind the tense negotiations has come to light.
ESPN.com's Rich Cimini reported Sunday that, along with offset language, the Jets and Darnold's representation continue to negotiate voids in guaranteed money pertaining to his conduct. The Jets reportedly are asking for Darnold's entire guarantee to void in the event he's fined for an infraction—both on or off the field.
Contracts for Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen contain such voids only if the player receives a suspension.
