Now the question is whether they restructure his contract in order to facilitate another trade. It sounds like the plan is to trade him, but it comes down to who's left standing in the game of musical chairs Lions trade up to #2 swapping Goff (w/roster bonus paid by Detroit) for Darnold (dependent upon Saleh/Lefleur opinion of Goff) Jets also get additional draft capital from Detroit. Just throwing some ideas around. Can Goff be fixed? I’d prefer Watson or Wilson but worth consideration. Would Detroit be ok rolling with Goff and building around him?

football guy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Keep this trade in mind when trying to understand how NFL teams work: The Lions would've gotten a 1st & 3rd from Washington this year had they moved him there. They opted for the future 1sts. Why? Many teams say that future firsts grade like the 40th pick in present-day trades. However, rebuilding teams value them higher.

But I will bet the house that Darnold will never become what some here hope. The Jets went Sanchez Mach II and deserve ridicule. But now it's time to turn the page and not care about the dim prospect of Darnold achieving Gannon's level. 'Cause it's not gonna happen no matter how much some dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question I have is what team will you be rooting for come September if (when) that doesn't happen? I always root for my team. My point is there is no other logical conclusion to come to other than using #2 overall to take a QB. This isn't even about what I want. It's just what's going to happen. Anything else other than using 2 for a QB is just noise. That's all I'm saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I really don't understand what all the hoopla is about with this trade. It was a decent trade for the Rams. Look at what the Jets traded for Darnold back in 2018. To move up 3 spots, the Jets surrendered the #6 pick , and 3 2nd rounders. In current value that would be the #6 pick, 2nds and a thrid. Sam turned out to be one of the worst QB's in the league 3 years later. The Rams in CURRENT VALUE, have given up 0 first round picks in the current draft. Value wise in this draft they have given up what would be valued at a very late 2nd rounder, and 2 late 3rd rounders. The value of eating that contract is at least a 2nd. That means all the Rams actually gave up for him value wise is two 3's. It's reasonable to expect as good as the Rams are, and the fact that Stafford is close to an elite QB, those future picks will be estimated to be 30+. Rams FO has gambled that for that value they have a shot at a Super Bowl. Good for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsRevival Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 1 hour ago, NYJ1 said: If we're using the Stafford trade as a reference for what it would cost to acquire Deshaun Watson? Then, I think the price is beyond JD's means. Stafford is a bit of a senior player and Watson is just hitting his prime. That would obviously, more than likely, make the price for Watson beyond the Jets means. Or should I say Joe Douglas. Douglas has a 6 year contract. If he trades what it would take to get Watson, then I submit he simply won't have enough decent picks to build the team before his contract expires. It's possible the Jets just wouldn't be a very competitive team because Joe is unable to build the team around Deshaun. Unless the Texans are idiots, they're going to want Sam Darnold, 3 first round draft choices, and probably a 3rd as well. I submit to you that's simply too much for a player with two ACL's. The way I see it is the only way Deshaun Watson becomes a Jet is if he's demanding a trade to the Jets? Greenbean's surmised price for Watson, I think the Jets could deal with and build a decent team around Deshaun? Anything more than that I think becomes too much. This is a legacy defining moment for Joe Douglas. If he gives up too much to get Deshaun, then he eventually gets fired because he can't win a chapionship. You don't need 1st round picks to build a team. In fact, statistically, if the Jets took all 4 1st round picks the next two years only 2 of them will actually wind up being a contributing starter. And less than 1 of them would be a Pro Bowl player. You build your team rounds 3-7. If you sign 1 big time FA per year or trade for one you're basically substituting that as your 1st round talent except the bust rate is much lower with an established FA. The Jets have 4 picks in the next 2 1st rounds and what you're telling me is that if they give up 1 this year, a 3rd this year (they have 2), a 2022 1st and 2023 1st that they wouldn't be able to build a team? They would still have picks in every round this year and next. How is that not enough to build a roster around the QB? Or is this all bc you're in love with Darnold? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
