Jets historically have pressed contractual offsets for rookies more so than most NFL teams, so this is not a surprise. But it will start looking bad for Zach the longer it plays out.
Zach's side would do well to try to get it resolved this week if they can.
I wasn't aware of this before until reading about it yesterday, but apparently Darnold held out for a while, and many speculated that was not a good look and ultimately became somewhat of an indicator as to how his tenure with NYJ was going to play out.
GO COUGS.
