Conditional 4th is reasonable

 

our 4th is a high one this year, so it seems fair.  Our high 3rd seems too much.

I am not sure there would be a bidding war for a guy like Darnold. Keep in mind that he is on the last year of his deal. 

About that...

It would be a 2022 pick as a conditional.

If we have our QB, then that's a draft pick slot filled that we otherwise would have used. Plus, we could either move back in the first or second round to recoup the Darnold pick.

Yeah Darnold is in a tough position for getting moved. I could get behind him if we think we are totally out of the QB drafting market. But I dont think there is a huge improvement from him and Teddy

Honestly I think year 2 Teddy would be better than year 1 Darnold + a pick.

Ryan Tannehill kind of changed the landscape for QBs drafted high that don't pan out initially. It seems more teams are open to reclamation projects at the QB position and acknowledge crappy teams make even decent prospects look crappy.

I'll trade Teddy and a 4th for Sam.

How many QBs careers have the Jets ruined?  At some point you have to look at the organization instead of the players.  I don't think Darnold is all that and a bag of chips, but he's not horrible either.

Back in October there was a Twitter army trying to convince Trevor to stay a year and avoid NY.

Lucky for him Jax tanked harder than the Jets, although I don't think the Jets were tanking.  Sadly they only won one more game than the Jags actually trying.  Not that going to Jacksonville is much better, BTW.

Regarding Darnold's price...

 

Just for sheets and giggles...would Minshew's be about the same? Honestly, I might like him more, and he'd be $9M cheaper this year.

No because Minshew is insanely cheap, has had more success in the NFL and has more years left on his deal.

 

[Mr. Scot]

I haven't seen any speculation on what it would take to get Minshew.

Which may be the reason they hold onto him for Trevor's rookie season.

This would have to be a good offer--like a third and a conditional 2022 pick. (speculating, but when I do that, I am never wrong)
