Sam "the nice one" Darnold

[bojanglesman]

So what teams will be candidates for a Darnold trade?  I don't know why the Steelers keep coming up, they are going with Big Rape again.  Vikings are keeping Cousins. Absent of Wentz news, I think it's:

Colts
Bears
WFT
Broncos
Panthers
SF

Outside chance:

Saints, but they only have 3 picks total this year.  Maybe they give up the 2nd and some players?  They need to unload salary bad and we have a full wallet.  Kwon Alexander and Ryan Ramzyzkzyzkyk have no dead money for the Saints if traded.

Texans if they bail on Watson.  Darnold would be cheap and startable.

No:

Giants and Pats.  They need QBs, but no way Doug does that.

I don’t think Carolina will trade for Sam

Tepper wants to make a splash and he wants his team to become a contender overnight

I thought Rhule going to Carolina over us was that he was given basically full autonomy in Carolina

So we'd get #12 and a future 2nd for Darnold, #23 and a late found pick?

Jets receive: #12 this year, 2022 2nd rounder

Niners receive: Darnold, and the Seattle 1st rounder (#23)

In.

Interesting swap for us.

I'd do it. More ammo for Watson, or a better chance at one of the top 3 WRs if they make it out of the top 10. Or perhaps the edge rusher we've been dying for for 20 years?

It's actually a good trade for both teams.  It certainly puts us in a nicer position than we're currently in.

It's actually a good trade for both teams.  It certainly puts us in a nicer position than we're currently in.

It also gives us essentially a first round value for Sam, and still gets us another 2nd for next year if we make any trades.

It would also put us in a very good spot for arguing no team has more to give Houston than us for Watson, no one can offer 2 picks at 2 and 12 or better. Before you could argue #3 + #18 is a better offer for Watson if you are excited about either QB. Now we unquestionably would have a better offer for Houston in every way. And having 2 top 15 picks to offer also further makes it harder to argue they deserve much more draft capital to get a Watson deal done.

Dude, i love Watson.  But i hope you're prepared for the Jets to pass on him if Houston digs their heels in up to the draft (and/or beyond). 

I'm going fwd under the notion we're taking a QB at #2.

Oddly enough, we still could be in the Watson sweepstakes if it moves beyond the draft.

Take the QB at #2, and then a weapon at #12, build the roster NOW for the young kid

then later on, we could send them the Kid we draft OR just next years 2022 draft picks (2 1s and 2 s are available in that scenario trade for Sam) to get Watson, and then we trade the #2 QB for assets or to Houston if they want him to be their guy.

My point is it's not an impossibility even if we don't get Watson prior to the draft. And getting even more capital for next year sets us up well for that move if it's an option.

Worth mentioning, @AdamSchefter
 confirmed the Colts, Panthers, and WFT have contacted the Jets to inquire about Sam Darnold's availability.

Not impossible but that would be unprecedented right?

It would. But so would a trade of Watson/Watson caliber player

Sure it’s unlikely but it is possible
