A swap without giving up picks is the best case scenario. This would be Ideal for us, I'm not sure if the Jets would like that tho. 

It would take TB plus a pick.

They cannot be stupid enough to take that contract....can they ?

They have plenty of cap space and it's a 1 year deal for a high quality backup, plus they still get a pick, why not?

Not that I am saying it will happen. Makes more sense for us to send a third and then trade TB for a 5th or whatever we can get for him to DEN, NO, ETC

It might not.  Jets would need a proven vet who can also start.  This would be killing 2 birds with one stone with getting rid of Darnold and getting a vet.

A 3rd is about his market I believe. I wouldn't rule out a swap for TB either. 

Haven't the Jets already given Teddy a stint?

Seems unlikely either would be interested in doing business together again.....

I don't believe this will happen prior to the draft.  They may be making a backup plan to the draft.  Or maybe regardless of the draft, if we can cut Teddy. 

I'm also not one that believes Darnold is toast. 

Very few QBs throw to the wolves make it. 

He's young, and still a talent. Therenis potential there. I wouldn't want to give up a pick higher then a 4th this year. A conditional next year is better. 

He'd be coming into a pretty good situation here, and it wouldn't stop us from pursuing another QB if he doesn't work out.

Could be like when the Saints got Breeze. 

What you got in that blunt?

I would be all for trading for Darnold. Preferably, for no more than a third. That way we could get 2 OL in the first two picks and draft a WR or 2 later on. Would love some combo of Newsome, Darden, and Schwartz, or one of those with a versatile RB. Sprinkle in one or 2 DBs like Trill, Ford, Mukuamu, Shakur, or Hamlin (if we don’t address it via FA), and I’d call that a very successful draft.

Option 1 - He becomes good away from Gase and NY, we have a QB

Option 2 - He's decent enough that someone signs him to a big contract in FA even if he's not "our guy", we get probably a 3rd round comp pick which is essentially what we give up this year to trade for him. 

Option 3 - He's terrible, he becomes our new Clausen and leads us to the promised land of a Top 3 pick

 

I don't think anybody wants Option 3, but this is what you get when we decided to screw the rebuild up by signing Teddy to make us averagely bad. 

[Mr. Herbert]

Damn, my bad guys you reminded me of how many teams are looking for 23 million dollar back ups!

[Snake]

I wouldn't mind a conditional 3rd but a 2nd is pricy. Darnold needs a good OC and weapons and we have that. 

[Mr. Herbert]

Over my dead body!

[GoPanthers123]

Teddy is good for first 3 quarters, then sub in someone else.   Darnold could make sense if all good QBs are taken already by pick 8.

Doesn’t necessarily take us out of the Lance pick either, just makes us look less desperate and somewhat hopeful in something. Give em couple 4ths and take a 6th and darnold.
