Cowboys Jihad Ward Jersey from 黄剑's blog

The team held its third practice of training camp without the prized rookie quarterback on Sunday Brian Allen Color Rush Jersey , the first session open to the general public. While there were plenty of green and white No. 14 jerseys roaming the Jets' practice facility, none were being worn by the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft.

Darnold is unsigned and staying away from the team while his representatives and the Jets continue to hash out details in his contract. Meanwhile, many fans remain somewhat surprisingly patient and optimistic that the young quarterback will get to camp.

"Of course I'm disappointed," said 24-year-old Kelly Stickle, a New Jersey resident wearing a No. 28 Curtis Martin jersey. "I mean, (he's) the prospective starting quarterback, but hopefully they'll reach an agreement soon and he'll be out here."

Both sides are hoping that's the case. But it's unclear when that will happen.

"I'll get an update when he runs out on the field," Jets coach Todd Bowles said. "I'm a coach. I don't handle the money or anything like that, or the business side of it. I understand it all and I am aware of it all, but I coach the guys that are out here and that's all I am worried about."

Under the slotting system in the NFL, Darnold will receive a four-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $30.247 million Cheap Chase Edmonds Jersey , including a $20 million signing bonus 鈥?when he signs. But the dispute seems to hang on contract language.

One issue could be offsets, which if included could provide a team with a measure of financial protection if it cuts a player during his rookie contract. Not having offset language, a condition that Darnold's representatives are apparently seeking, allows a player to receive his remaining salary from the team that cut him, as well as get paid by another team that signs him.

According to published reports by ESPN and the New York Post, another hang-up could be default language that is related to the guaranteed money. Some teams include stipulations that could void guarantees if a player is fined and/or suspended by the NFL for disciplinary reasons.

"I'm a businessman and I understand," said 40-year-old Washington resident Kevin Deans, who was sporting a Darnold jersey. "It seems that they've just got to work some stuff out. I don't hold it against anyone."

That seemed to be the general feeling among many fans who attended Jets practice. They're not happy Darnold isn't in camp, but are hopeful this storyline will soon go away.

"It's really unfortunate that Sam's not here," said 23-year-old Jimmy Egan of Yonkers Authentic Terrelle Pryor Sr. Jersey , New York. "Obviously, we want him here to get the chemistry with the players and all that. But, I think from his perspective, he's letting his agent handle the business side. It's unfortunate, but hopefully it gets done soon.

"Hopefully, we'll get Sam out here practicing with the guys and hopefully he starts against the Lions in September."

That could become a much tougher task for Darnold the longer he holds out of camp. The 21-year-old quarterback is expected to compete with Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater for the starting job, but is losing valuable on-field and in-classroom time with each passing day.

The 39-year-old McCown is the incumbent and currently the favorite to be under center for New York at Detroit on Sept. 10 in the regular-season opener. He and Bridgewater have been taking increased snaps in practices in Darnold's absence.

Most teams have at least three quarterbacks early in camp to ease the workload on the players. Coach Todd Bowles has said the Jets could consider that, but had no intention to add another camp arm at this time.

"You're just kind of literally more aware of every throw," McCown said. "Even if I catch the ball, I'm throwing it to somebody else so it's not a real rep. I'll toss it with my other hand. You have to be smart with how many throws and be cognizant of how many throws you make."

During the practice session Sunday, the offense was having a particularly solid stretch when Long Island resident John Pagano, a long-time fan known as "Cuz Uchenna Nwosu Chargers Jersey ," shouted: "We don't need Darnold! If he were committed, he'd be here now. We've got two good quarterbacks here now!"

That sentiment was soon negated when Bridgewater threw an incomplete pass, setting off several fans in the metal bleachers who shouted: "Sign Darnold!"

If Darnold's holdout lasts much longer, the as-of-now patient Jets fans might start voicing their frustrations soon, too.

"I believe he'll be here before the start of the season, but you've got to take care of the business part," said Andre Jones, 51, of Newark. "If he holds out too long, we'll probably be a little disappointed. We'll just have to wait and see."

NOTES: Bowles confirmed that RB Eli McGuire will need surgery on his broken foot, and said a timetable for his return would be determined after the procedure. ... The Jets signed RB George Atkinson III, son of former Raiders safety George Atkinson Cowboys Jihad Ward Jersey , and waived TE Bucky Hodges. ... The team announced in a post on social media that it will introduce new uniforms next April to mark the franchise's 60th season. The Jets did not disclose any details on the upcoming changes.

Unable to make a move back into the second round for an additional pick, the Seahawks selected USC defensive end Rasheem Green with the 79th overall selection in the third-round on Friday night.

Seattle's initial selection on the second day addressed a significant need along the defensive line. Seattle was slated to have the No. 76-overall pick but traded with Pittsburgh and moved back three spots to No. 79 while also picking up an additional seventh-round selection.

And much to the delight of the Seahawks, Green was still on the board.

"It's tough watching guys getting drafted that play the same position when I personally feel like I'm a bit better than them. But it is what it is." Green said.

It was a relatively quiet night for a team known for being busy with draft moves. Seattle will now have eight picks on the final day of the draft.

General manager John Schneider said there never were any reasonable options that would have allowed Seattle to get back into the second round. That included any possible deals involving safety Earl Thomas, who was the source of trade speculation as his current contract expires after the 2018 season and he was one of the few Seattle options that could have landed a high draft pick.

"You may have looked like he wasn't going to be here but we didn't look at it like that. That's been a lot of speculation on your guys' end of this thing," Carroll said. "We've been counting on Earl being here the whole time."

Schneider believed Green was still available in the third round due to a knee injury suffered several years ago that likely downgraded his stock among teams. Schneider said Green was examined twice by Seattle's doctors and was given high marks.

"I'm sure he thought he was going to go higher. We like to have guys like that," Schneider said.

Green played primarily as a defensive tackle at USC and was able to live in the backfield of opponents. Green had 12 陆 tackles for loss and 10 sacks last season at USC while being named a first-team All-Pac-12 selection. Green projects more as a defensive end in the NFL because of his size 鈥?6-foot-4 and 275 pounds 鈥?and that's where he would like to play.

"I personally prefer the outside," Green said. "I feel like I'm just as good as I am inside as I am outside."

Replenishing the pass rush is a priority for the Seahawks. Seattle traded Michael Bennett to Philadelphia earlier in the offseason and there are questions about the future of Cliff Avril after he suffered a neck injury that cost him most of last season.

While some of his skills may be raw, Green should have the opportunity to contend for significant playing time right away. Only Frank Clark and Dion Jordan would appear to have set spots in Seattle's regular rotation of defensive ends.

"It's really important for us that we definitely will have some options here. He's really young, he's a 20-year-old kid ... he's got a lot of potential to grow. We will move him all around and figure it out," Carroll said.

Some draft analysts believed Green would have been better off returning for his senior season and working his way into potentially being a first-round pick.

Green was willing to take the chance on leaving early.

"I did have some thoughts of staying. But I just felt like my heart wasn't there anymore," Green said. "I just wanted to do what I thought was the best choice for me. I don't regret it."
