Jets Ink Rookie Guard Vera-Tucker, Wilson and Moore Unsigned as Camp Nears

 The New York Jets put pen to paper on one of their top draft picks from April's draft, signing left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker to a four-year deal worth $15.885 million, with a $8.9 million signing bonus and a fifth-year team option according to ESPN's Rich Cimini

With Vera-Tucker signed, sealed and delivered the attention now goes toward quarterback Zach Wilson and wide receiver Elijah Moore, both of whom have yet to sign their rookie deals. Of course with rookie contracts the way they are now, there is not much a player can do to negotiate years and dollars, since those figures are generally set. However contract language usually plays a role here. 

Three years ago the Jets went through a similar thing with Sam Darnold, not signing him until a few days into training camp his rookie year.

We'll see if both players get deals done in the coming days are rookies are reporting to camp around the NFL.
