The NFL’s second-round contract standoff is reaching a boiling point, and the New York Jets are officially at risk of being caught in the middle.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Saturday that Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Tre Harris is now an official training camp holdout, becoming the first second-round pick to take a public stand amidst the leaguewide dispute.
That leaves Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor in a precarious spot just one week before the team’s rookies are set to report to training camp on July 19.
Taylor remains unsigned and is one of 30 second-round picks still without a contract, all due to the same issue.
