Jets avoid rookie holdout scare with last-second Mason Taylor deal

The New York Jets got it done just in time. With rookies set to report to training camp in less than 24 hours, the Jets officially agreed to terms with second-round pick Mason Taylor on Friday.

NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe is reporting that the deal is worth $10.46 million over four years with $9.56 million guaranteed, including 60% of Taylor’s fourth-year salary. That’s a 55% bump from last year’s No. 42 pick, as second-round contracts across the league continue to receive more guaranteed money.
