The Jets have signed first-round QB Zach Wilson to a four-year rookie contract, according to Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport says the two sides were able to reach a compromise, with Wilson receiving his signing bonus in the next 15 days and the Jets securing offset language in the deal.
Wilson missed the first day of training camp as the two sides were disputing over details in his slotted rookie contract. He’s the final draft pick of the 2021 class to sign.
