Darnold, who was selected 3rd overall by the New York Jets in the NFL Draft out of USC, had not signed his rookie contract because of a difference in agreement in the language in his contract, but those qualms have been resolved. According to reports around the league, Darnold agreed to a four-year, $30.25 million fully-guaranteed contract that includes a $20 million signing bonus Monday.

Darnold missed the first three days of training camp, but was on the field with his team Monday. When he joined his teammates out on the field, they gave him quite the rookie entrance:
