Jets about to be in middle of NFL’s second-round draft pick contract conundrum

The next item on the to-do list for the Jets should be to sign rookie Mason Taylor before training camp begins.

The final 30 of the 32 second-round picks in the 2025 draft, including Taylor, remain unsigned as teams and the Players Association engage in a mass standoff over fully guaranteeing contracts for second-rounders.

Holdouts have already begun.
