One unsigned NFL Draft pick left

In Florham Park, New Jersey, the New York Jets were still waiting to get their rookie quarterback under contract.

Max Wilson, the No. 2 overall draft pick in April out of BYU, is the only first-round draft pick to not have a deal done after San Francisco signed quarterback Trey Lance earlier in the day.

Wilson’s contract is slotted to be worth $35.15 million over four years and include a $22.9 million signing bonus. But it appears the sides — the Jets and general manager Joe Douglas and Wilson’s agents — are working out offset language, a sticking point in the negotiations.

So, New York kicked off camp practices with backups Mike White and James Morgan leading the offense.

“Obviously, from the business side of it, there’s a lot of things that come into play,” coach Robert Saleh said. “When he signs, he signs. There are 89 other guys that deserve our attention. That’s where all our focus is right now.”
