Not sure if trolling, but this is nothing to sneeze at. I liked Russ enough to make him my QB in our All Time Draft (btw, when are we starting that up again @Paradis?) over guys like Bradshaw and Gannon, so I would entertain this. That said, shy of a SB, there is nothing that could possibly make up for the 8 additional years that Sam might give us at the position over Russ. Plus, this team isn’t good enough yet to compete for a SB and won’t be for at least two more years, which means we’d be looking at an age 33 Russ by the time our “window” opens. For a running QB, that’s a significantly higher downside than a guy like Peyton or brady* entering their year 33 campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
static14 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Would this be Seattle saying they never want to pay a FQB what they’re worth, or they just don’t wanna pay one in his prime what he’s worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeangreenkillingmachine Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Isn't Russell Wilson in the baseball minors or something? He s played some spring training for the Texas Rangers and the Yankees traded for his rights last summer or the year before. Do the guys making these rumors not realize this. Russell Wilson is somewhat a Yankee, hence why he hangs out with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This would be a perfect situation for the Giants, they can send 3 1st Rd picks for a young, top QB which they have never really had before and Wilson could sit behind Eli and learn from him for the next 2-3 years before they transition to Wilson. Gettleman is the genius that can pull this off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 This is a crazy rumor, but there could be some truth to it - especially from Seattle's side. There are two things that could be in play here, First, Russell Wilson's not-so-subtle hinting that he wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL when he puts pen to paper and second, that there's no more valuable commodity in the NFL than a franchise QB on a rookie contract. If Seattle believes they can find a new franchise signal caller in this year's draft and use the $34M/year or so Wilson is expecting to build around their new rookie, that could be an attractive option. How many teams go downhill after giving their franchise QB franchise QB money? The Seahawks haven't won more than 10 games in a season since Wilson signed his first big contract. Packers haven't won anything since giving Rodgers his first big contract. Joe Flacco and the Ravens demise is well documented. How did winning the Cousins sweepstakes work out for the Vikes so far? Trading a franchise QB and his franchise QB salary for enough draft assets to draft his replacement at a fraction of the cap is the kinda thing the analytics people go nuts over. Someone's eventually gonna try it and, if it works, it could easily become a trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On face value I completely agree but believe it or not there are fans in their forums who are discussing this. I was putting together my mock draft (I go through every teams fan forum for it) and I saw the discussion. I'm not sure I buy it but it's not so farfetched after hearing it a few times now.

Is this what I’m to understand? Only reason I wouldn't do it, is because i'd like to actually see the Jets finally draft, develop and succeed with their own QB. And for once, I actually think Darnold has the potential to do that. Otherwise hell yeah i'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking on that contract would be prohibitive to giving them that # 3 pick. Darnold for Wilson straight up, or Darnold + 2020 first rounder. Who says no?
