jetstream23 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Heard this idea on a local sports talk show. Seemed like an interesting way for the Cowboys to get out of the financial predicament with Dak and to choose a potential QB of the future at #2, letting Darnold start the season as starter. The Jets would be upgrading at QB, could probably afford Dak and still have a Top 10 pick. Not sure how I feel about paying Dak a ton. He’s a better starter than Darnold with no bust/development risk but he’s no Deshaun Watson. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wit Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 It’s a bit risky with that injury he’s coming off. How does he play in the offense we will want to run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMA Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 No... I am not trading the #2 pick and the $ value it creates for a top 5 $ qb who is maybe the 15 best in the league coming off injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JustInFudge Posted March 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2021 Are you paying him 40 mil a year? If so, no. I'd just take Fields or Wilson if that's your preference. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 He played really good on a team with an amazing line , weapons and great running game. Jets have none of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flea Flicking Frank Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 OMG No, I'd rather trade 4 1's and every good player we have for Watson than that deal. And I want no part of giving up that much for Watson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why pay Zak $40 mil per year, if we can get Wilson or Fields for a 4 year rookie contract? We don't even know how Zak will be coming back from his injury. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Good Lord no. There are two guys that we can pick at #2 that are better than Dak. The guy has had loaded teams and done squat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebag Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Nope - with the offensive talent on that Cowboys team and what he hasn't accomplished, it's not a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Nope. People need to realize that we have a rare opportunity to take a QB at #2. There is risk, but the best way for us to truly be competitive is with an elite QB on a rookie salary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 No. I think Wilson will have a better career than Dak, and I’m not Dak hater. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad2coles Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I don't think this is a terrible option. Dak is one of the best QBs in the league when healthy and surrounded by talent. The Jets would still have the 10th pick, which they could trade back, or draft whichever pass catcher drops to 10. Sign Thuney to shore up the o-line and still have 2 1st round picks next year to work with. My first option is Watson, because I think he's a lot more talented and on a team friendly deal, but it's way more likely that Dak wins playoff games over the next 5 years than Lawrence, Fields, or Wilson.

Icer Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Dak is coming off a major injury and wants 40+ million a year. He's good, but not elite and I'm not giving them capital plus huge money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a better starter than Darnold with no bust/development risk but he’s no Deshaun Watson. I live out here, and I really like Dak. The reason I don't is Dak 100% wants a contract right behind what Mahomes got, and I'd really like to see how that ankle holds up before doing that massive of a deal. I don't trade for Dak without an extension in place, and I don't give him 300+ million without knowing how he does on his new ankle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and while I think Dak is a good player, I dont think he's great and he played on an absolutely stacked offense behind one of the best OL's for his entire career. Just dont think what he think he's worth, rather give a rookie a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Only if he accepts a reasonable contract. Say 4yrs at $35M per year. And of course we’d have to check his medicals. Otherwise, draft a QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
