Signing Bonus Paid Within 15 Days of Ending Holdout
Contract Breakdown and Salary Details
New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has officially signed his rookie contract, ending his brief holdout. According to Spotrac, Wilson's contract is a four-year deal worth $35.1 million, with a $22.9 million signing bonus. His base salary for 2021 is $690,000, and he will receive a roster bonus of $1.6 million and a workout bonus of $150,000. Wilson's contract has a cap hit of $8.78 million in 2021, which is the 24th largest cap hit among quarterbacks this season. His dead cap value is $19.6 million, which means the Jets would lose that amount of money if they were to cut him before the end of his contract.
The second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Wilson is expected to start for the Jets this season. He is the first quarterback to start for the Jets since Sam Darnold in 2019. Wilson has shown promise in the preseason, and the Jets are hoping that he can be the franchise quarterback they have been looking for.
