I'm sure Morgan would give it up. He could use the money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderboy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 40 million per year for Watson. Thats alot of gap and would severely cripple JD's options to improve a roster that is devoid of talent. And on top of that, surrender multiple picks. Thanks but no thanks. Unless we can get him for a song and a dance, PASS. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam is a mystery box. The point is that peoples thoughts on how our players are viewed, what people would offer for them in a trade havent panned out. Leo and Adams both brought back more than was predicted here. The thought remains the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 If Watson gets traded you can go ahead and move the Texans ahead of the Jets for the worst franchise in the league. If they're dumb enough to let it get to that point, give them both of Seattle's firsts (2021, 2022) and Darnold. Take Sewell at #2 & sign Robinson. Step 3, profit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best they believe that the talent that was seen at USC, the talent that had him highly rated coming into the draft hasnt been ruined and that some team will obviously have to believe they still can develop it, that hes not ruined and done at 23. I have no idea what to think but who really knows 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what to think but who really knows I grant that it’s difficult to predict what will happen. But Adams is an all pro. Many of us said a win now team would pony up. Two firsts did surprise though and gives confidence in JD. I hope he gets more for Darnold than I think he’s worth, obviously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was that the two players you mentioned were known quantities whereas Sam isn't unless you're accepting that he sucks which doesn't exactly raise his value. As a QB there will of course be a bump in his value, but by how much is the question. If teams know the Jets are drafting a QB and looking to move on form Sam they won't need to offer as much unless multiple teams want him. We were looking to move on from Adams but didn't need to. Drafting a QB at 2 kind of prompts the need to move Sam as we aren't going into camp with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he were to be traded to the Jets, here are his cap numbers: 2021: 10.5 2022: 35 2023: 37 2024: 32 2025: 32 That’s more than reasonable for a top 5 QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time to put a team around him. That's also assuming the contract doesn't get renegotiated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team's roster is mediocre. And it would cost to many draft picks and money. I'd roll with Fields who could very well be just as good or better than Watson. Rookie QB that can grow with the team. Hold onto those draft picks and draft quality players at positions of great need, This team aint going anywhere for a few years anyways. By 2023, we could be in a position to make some serious noise. Thats only 2 seasons away. Sit Fields for half the season.

I like the optimism for our draft picks but you can’t count on that-we all hope we hit on all the picks. I don’t disagree on n the general though however in 2 years we could be finding out what most qb needy teams do- they guy we drafted ain’t the one. There’s not many guarantees in the draft it’s likely Watson is better/more impactful than the 3 picks we’d make in the trade - no guarantee we don’t pick a bust or below expectations performer. I see both sides on this potential/hypothetical situation. But Getting a top 5 QB for the next 10-14 years for sure now... man.

Shockwave Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Some of these responses are kinda hilarious. Watson is a top 5 guy to build around. If the Jets are lucky enough for Houston to listen the absolute best case scenario would be: 1.2 (Our First), 1.24. (Seattle pick), One of the First next year and Middle Round Picks(or Darnold) For just Watson. Thats on the low end. Watson’s contract is Fantastic and with his low cap hit this year it would be an all out bidding war. Best thing we have going for us is new Gm's love draft picks and we happen to have the most draft ammo in the game right now. We would absolutely be the first phone call if your the Texans and you have to Thank Joe Douglas for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
