Article-Proposed Trade Would Send Ex-Jets QB to NFC Squad, Last Chance at Redemption

[1st down]

I don’t post much here, more of a lurker, but saw this and wanted to share. Interesting article from a Jets site on Darnold’s possible future discussing a trade to the Saints while we would pay 60% of his salary. I have 0% faith that this would happen, but if Darnold actually went to the Saints I would throw a huge party.

He would go there. Get great coaching then become a potential HOFr and make us miserable for the next 12 years.

Doubtful.  Jameis Winston has shown way more in his NFL career, and Payton couldn't save him.  He's a football coach, not a miracle worker.

Darnold can't read the field.  He would need to spend 2-3 seasons in study hall as a backup before he had a chance to succeed IMO.  And you don't trade for an expiring contract to pick that kind of player up.  They might scoop him up for nothing after we dump him though.

I can’t imagine any team trading for Sam at this point. Why waste any pick on a QB that by now has shown that he just doesn’t have it. Can’t polish a turd.

He seems like an ok backup on a solid team with an established QB. No where near worth $18.5 million or any meaningful draft capital…

thats actually the second time ive seen this. The other news outlet that reported this was either NFL.com or CBS. They suggested we would go after slippin Jimmy G or Kirk Cousins.

Regardless of what the Panthers do with Darnold, this team clearly needs to bring in several QB’s and let them complete. To me not having any QB competition for Darnold was as big of an error as trading for him. There were several affordable options this past offseason….

When a team doesn’t have a proven starting QB they need competition.

Saints don't have cap room for a "salary dump" type player.

Sean Payton has an eye for talent with untapped potential to be developed...  meaning, he would not do this trade.

Not exactly true Winston was playing well until the injury, but he’s not fixing darnold I agree there

That's fair.  He statistically had his best year with the Saints, but it's kind of a marginal improvement.  I don't think they look at him as their future at QB.  Let's just put it that way.

True, I think they are infatuated with Taysom.  Winston I think deserves more of a shot than Sam going forward since he’s shown a lot more 

[Waldo]

Too good to be true. Sam is the kind of QB you want to play against twice a year. 

From Hill to Darnold...lol even if Payton could get more out of him.
