In a shocking move, New York Jets rising talent Braelon Allen has rejected and officially ended a blockbuster $55.8 million contract deal that reportedly involved Toronto Maple Leafs star Mitch Marner.
Details are still emerging, but sources close to the negotiation say the deal was part of a multi-sport marketing and endorsement partnership that would have seen Allen and Marner co-front a major campaign backed by a sports brand conglomerate. Allen, 20, has decided to step away from the agreement, citing a desire to focus solely on football and personal development.
The Jets have not released an official statement yet, and neither Allen nor Marner have commented publicly.
