I would trade for Sam Darnold before drafting Mac Jones... Just my opinion..

Depends on what the Jets want for Darnold. 3rd or lower, sure sign me up, second no thanks, 1st lols. My fear with Darnold is he is broken like David Carr. Otherwise, yeah Jones v Darnold is a push and Darnold should be cheaper.

Report is that the Jets aren’t stuck on a 1st for Darnold. 
 

Trade a 2nd or 3rd for Darnold. Keep the 1st or move back and acquire picks. 
 

Stop getting hung up on the pro days. No reason to trade years worth of capital for a top 4 pick. Keep the capital. Trade for Darnold. Build the defense and the OL. Go win....that’s the formula.

I'm leaning this way. I think Darnold could be a good starter.  While I think he would be a decent QB for any team, I think his skillset would be great in this type of offense. My only question is where his confidence is at.  Is he a guy that can resurrect his career or his he in David Carr land? I'd be willing to gamble a second or third to see.

I don’t think Darnold has played well enough to think he could be your franchise QB however there are plenty of QBs who weren’t that good for their first 3-5 years and then became good QBs. Drew Brees wasn’t good his first few years. Most recently Ryan Tannehill. Alex Smith took years to develop. Hell honestly I would rather have Alex smith than Teddy.

 

so maybe Darnald can end up being a good QB with a different team. Maybe not. His YPA seems to be pretty low and that kinda bothers me though.

On Dan Patrick he just said that we are interested in Darnold. Said that it could very well be the move if we decide/can't move up in the draft. He said the Jets were looking for a second round pick but would probably settle for a third. He's been right on several things recently related to NFL QBs.

I think any move for Darnold will be made after the draft.  If we land a QB than we won't pursue Darnold.

I'm not sure about that - the Jets will surely want an instant return on him if they're trading him.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Draft day trade - we pick who we want / trade down in the first / second round and, if we don't get the QB we like, we pick up the phone to the Jets for Darnold in the third round.

I think he has potential, but he's in the last year of his rookie contract so he QUICKLY becomes very expensive. You only have a year to work out whether he's the guy or not.

If Matt Rhule thinks he is the guy.. I’m all for it ... other then that don’t waste resources on Him if he aint the guy just move on till we find him ... I agree Sam was not in a position to succeed.. I think he will be seeing shadows for awhile even if he had a good oline .. might take a year or 2 to build his confidence up .. we don’t have the time or the oline ..

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
