Donte Jackson for Stephon Gilmore - Who says no?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Alright. Hear me out. Donte is a very serviceable corner with some upside, and he is a nice chess piece to have on the defense. That being said, he's in the final year of his deal and unless we resign him soon it looks like he could hit the open market. 

If the patriots would go for it, why not trade Donte for Stephon to pair him with Jaycee? Stephon is a top 3 press corner in the league and would mesh beautifully with Jaycee. He could also teach him and polish his game up considering they're in the same mold. We could keep Stephon for the final years of his career...

He’s a 30 year old corner. We might get 1 decent season maybe 2 before production drops off or injuries pile up. Plus he’s much more expensive. We would be better off resigning Jackson or franchise tagging him and trading him next off season.

That’ll be the dumbest move ever. Gilmore is on his last year. You don’t trade future picks to rent Gilmore for a year. 

They're both on the final years of their deals, I'm just looking ahead to the future. If Donte doesn't wanna stay here, we might as well get something back for him now, and this was what I came up with

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
