Sources: Multiple teams reached out to New York Jets about Sam Darnold

• Adam Schefter ESPN Senior Writer
   

  At a time when quarterback trade talks across the league already have heated up, multiple teams have reached out to the New York Jets and expressed interest in trading for the former No. 3 overall pick Sam Darnold, per league sources.

  The Jets haven't turned away the calls, per sources, but they also haven't made any final and firm quarterback decisions about what direction they want to or are ready to go.

  They could trade Darnold, use the compensation they get back in return for another quarterback, or draft a quarterback with the second overall pick. All options are being explored and are on the table, per one league source.

  Contacted Saturday, the Jets would not confirm they received any trade calls on Darnold. Other sources however, have said they have.

  Looking back to the first quarterback trade agreement last weekend should provide a glimpse at the potential market for Darnold.

  Teams who made calls on Matthew Stafford, who was traded from Detroit to the Los Angeles Rams last weekend, included the Washington Football Team, the Indianapolis Colts, the Carolina Panthers, the San Francisco 49ers, the Chicago Bears and others.

  The Jets aren't ready to make a trade yet, and still are sifting through what is the best path for the organization to take. But with Stafford off to Los Angeles, and the Eagles nearing a deal for Carson Wentz, the Jets are not expected to be far behind in making a quarterback decision of their own that will have league-wide ramifications.

@Mogglezand @football guyhave been telling us this for weeks. Another Schefter scoop??

[HawkeyeJet]

It's an interesting morning of reports.  Rapsheet also reporting Texans continue not to budge that they won't trade Watson.

If Darnold is gone and pulls a 1st round pick, whoever the #2 pick is will have a roster with some serious, serious upgrades.

Lowball offer from the colts?

[NYDreamer]

Just for giggles....Let's say the Jets were able to trade Sam for a late first round pick giving us 3 first round picks this year.  Would you call the Jaguars and offer the three picks which lets face it if Myers wants Fields could get him with the second pick and then add other talent with the other picks while we move up one spot and get Lawrence....Its intriguing.

if we had three 1sts this year, I'd prefer to call the Texans rather than the Jaguars

A tweet of what we kinda already knew....

JD and Saleh got some big decisions to make. They gotta get the QB position right. And right now, it’s on them

And multiple fans have volunteered to help him pack his bags

Oh really. What are all of us , chopped liver??

[k-met57]

Not worried yet...still think Sam is our guys next year. That being said they need to decide quickly.

[RVAJet815]

Lowball offer from the colts?

If this Wentz to Chicago stuff is true...forget lowball. Put the screws to the colts. They’re gonna be desperate.

Why do that? Let him take him at #1.

[Flea Flicking Frank]

Would anything be more Jetsy than Jets trading Sam for a 3rd, and either trading for Watson or drafting Fields/Wilson, watching Watson/Fields/Wilson be meh for 5 years and Sam turn into an elite player?

Not saying this is high probability, but since we are the Jets, it is not a zero probability situation.

Trade to San Fran for:

• 2022 1st

or

• 2021 2nd + Garropolo

or

• 2021 2nd + 2021 3rd + Nick Mullens

Haha thank god this forum isn’t in the business of choosing qbs. Remember the hackenberg love on here ??

[bla bla bla]

[Augustiniak]

They must be really diving deep into the qbs in the draft especially wilson.  Those guys have a major impact on what they do.

This.  I don't know why so many people seem to look at this as an "either/or." 

We can draft a QB and build the roster around the new QB with all the draft capital we have in the next two years.  If we trade Darnold and draft a QB at two, we still have 5 other picks in the top 100, plus two more 1s next season.  And $80 mill in cap room.  We can almost completely remake the roster around a QB between this off-season and next.  No need to build the roster this offseason and add the QB next.

Why especially Wilson?

Agreed. A trade of Sam now likely means we are high on Wilson or Fields but it also shows that the Texans may want to consider the #2 pick because of how serious we are.

There aren't many outcomes I'd be really upset with haha

[GreekJet]

If any team gives a first round pick for Sam I don’t know how you don’t pull the trigger.

For sure.  If Watson doesn't happen (which I don't think it will) and they trade Darnold, I would expect them to sign a reclamation QB like Trubisky or Mariota, pick a QB at 2.  

Any way the QB role plays out, Jets will look completely different next year, which is exciting.  At least for the time being.

It could also mean that the Texans are serious about not trading Watson. Multiple reports by fairly reliable guys have been saying that Nagy absolutely loves him and that the Bears were willing to do pretty much whatever it takes to get him.

Anyway the QB role as out, Jets will look completely different next year, which is exciting.  At least for the time being.  

Even if we keep Darnold, I would want to bring in a reclamation type QB to compete with him.  He has not done enough in 3 years to just be handed the job without legit competition.  And if you bring in a Trubisky/Mariota/Winston type you are bringing in guys that are young enough that they can be a long term solution if they figure it out with the change of scenery and new opportunity.

Keeping Sam options are not high on my list of priorities, but if JD and team legit do not like Fields/Wilson.  Do not see them as a potential top-10 QB.  Don't reach.  Maybe we trade out of 2, take another guy later in R1 (Jones/Lance/Trask) and keep Sam around while the rookie sits.  Or keep Sam with legit competition as mentioned above.

I am still a big Justin Fields fan.  Assuming Watson is not an option, my preference is Fields first or Wilson.  But I do see scenarios where keeping Sam could make sense.  Bottom line is we have a lot of options to rebuild the team.  As long as JD and Saleh are good at their jobs, we should be okay regardless of what path they choose.  And if they are not competent, then we are f**ked anyway.

It could also mean that the Texans are serious about not trading Watson. Multiple reports by fairly reliable guys have been saying that Nagy absolutely loves him and that the Bears were willing to do pretty much whatever it takes to get him.

I’m fine with that. I have no issue with drafting one of these QB at #2. And if Joe D can trade Darnold for a late 1 or 2, we can be sure he won’t make the same mistake that Coffee Boy made. Super charge this offense. [mention]Paradis [/mention] showed you the way in the other thread.

[Shockwave]

If Wentz goes for the Bears First rounder It really is going to Boost Sam's trade value. If that trade actually happens we are getting offers of at-least the Colts pick. How could you not?

When the offers come how could JD say no? We essentially lock in prime position if Watson does get traded. If he doesn't get traded your in prime position to select Wilson and give him a ton of support with super low salaries.

[Columbia Jet Fan]

Will be so curious to see what the compensation is for Sam. The cost of acquiring a QB was way more than I would have guessed if you look at Staffords deal plus a presumed first + for Wentz.

 

I know schefter said he thought Darnold would get a late first but I just can’t see it. Assuming Wentz goes to the bears the other teams that called for Stafford are:

Indy - didn’t offer a first for Stafford - offered a 2 and players 

Carolina - offered 8 and late round picks 

denver - pick swap that equates to a late first

Pats - second rounder plus player 

49ers - unclear but apparently didn’t offer pick 12

Washington - 19 overall plus a 3

I can’t see Jets trading with New England so remove them from the list. Carolina seems to be the most aggressive but given the uncertainty with Darnold (really a 1 year flier) it seems risky for them to make the trade as they’re still 2 years away from competing. 
 

That would leave Denver, Washington, 49ers and colts (assuming they don’t get Wentz).

My guess for compensation would be:

Washington - first round pick and Jets send back their third (equivalent to pick 30)

Denver - Swap 9 for 23 and Sam (equivalent to pick 30)

49ers/Colts - a second round pick plus a player.

I’d be ecstatic with any of those but my guess is JD would be more inclined to take the pick plus player from 49ers/colts. 49ers players obviously would fit our new system and we all know the Jets are obsessed with colts players.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[BigRy56]

Watching how these other QB conversations are working out, it’s hard for me to see Sam not going for late first

[Shockwave]

One more thing - When you see leaks like this its hard to not think the Jets are seriously thinking about moving Darnold and will take a first if it is offered. 

The leak kind of states - You people that want Wentz - We have a younger/cheaper guy thats going to get moved. Come call us. 

To me this whole QB carousal and leaks means Darnold would be moved in the next few weeks rather than near the draft. It seems like QB is the first moves to teams offseason. I would guess Sam is traded by the start of the league year if we are indeed offered a first.

If they think Sam is better than any rookie they won’t trade him yet.   Unless they can get Watson, they will run it back with Sam.  Fans will be upset but this is looking likely.
