sam darnold trade?


Recommended Posts

how is our GM going to handle the roster in a few years when we have to pay Sam $40mm/year for a contract extension?  probably best to trade him now especially coming off the player of the week honors.

maybe package Jamal and Sam for a first round pick?  what can we realistically get for Sam now?  Rosen went for a second so it has to be at least that much right?

You don't trade the first franchise qb this team has had in decades, ever for anything... period... Stop the insanity 

Hello thanks for replying. I agree with you, which should’ve been obvious (“without hint of irony.”)

But “overpaying” seems to be an obsession with many Jets fans. I think it’s the least of our worries. Finding talent worthy of overpaying is a much bigger issue.

I see what OP is doing but these conversations will happen when it is time without hint of irony.

look at some of the posts from the past month when Sam wasn't even playing.  Tank for Tua.  Trade Sam.   Playing for the first pick.   Endless nonsense.

(5)  1st rounders IMO wouldn't be even close to enough... For me...

The original post is quite obviously a bad attempt at sarcasm.  However, there is a hidden point here.

Mahomes is going to blow the ceiling off of the top QB salary next year.  He should easily push close or even over the $40MM/season range (unless he marries a supermodel who earns hundreds of millions on her own).  

The following year, give or take a bit, Darnold is going to sign and if he's playing like a top-10 QB, the way these things seem to go, he's going to expect a little more than Mahomes got (see Kirk Cousins for recent comp).  And one of the other issues is who signs first between him, Jackson, Mayfield and Allen.  Waiting can make it even worse. 

Now I'll be ecstatic to have a QB that's worth paying top $ to, but it's going to put a huge hurt on our salary cap.  I would expect JD is already figuring out how to lay the groundwork for this (which is why Leo probably won't be back).

One of the worst attempts at humor around these parts in recent memory.

it's obvious.  start a company called sd14 for performance enhancing products (water) and sell to the jets for about 10 million a year.

i'll take the other side of this argument.  i think the smart QB's will start to take less to be part of a winning team.  the evidence is there that it's hard to win by over-paying for a QB.   these QB aren't stupid and their careers are much longer now.

around a decade ago you could make 10mm a year as a top QB but your career length wasn't as long.  so you needed to cash in to make sure you had a decent nest egg for when you retired.

but given the rules around QB now, if you are good you can last much longer.  So why not take $30-35mm instead of killing the cap at $40mm if it allows to upgrade at another 2 positions.
