    A lot of money....assuming Brees would even consider coming here.

    If you could Brees for the same money or a little more than McCown, sure, but signing Brees would eat up cash you could use for other needed players - like an OL that could keep him from retiring in a wheelchair.

    Bree's would cost money ..prob on the same level as Cousins ..also we are NOT the Vikings where we are at a SBs door ...so getting Brees runs some risk of QB deterioration over a 3 year rebuild towards the playoffs for NY

    I can't wait to see the post game interviews he has when he loses to GB every year, and they miss the playoffs, or at best go 1 and done in the Wildcard round. I'm sure that "winning" will feel great.

    Via Jason La Canfora: If the Jets fail to land Kirk Cousinsand they won't bow down to the Vikings without a fight and will put some very heavy and creative figures in front of the quarterback – then look for Josh McCown or Teddy Bridgewater to be their quarterback in 2018 as they develop a rookie at that position. But their intent to land Cousins could not be any higher.

    Money talks. I still give the Jets a good chance.

    The team has 90$+ in cap space (and a ton in 2019 depending on who gets signed), and a rookie QB 1st rounder takes up little on the cap. So it's not like you're tying up a ton of cash to have a complete turd taking snaps, and would most likely cost less than Cousins.

    The amount of cap space the Jets have this year is absurd.

    That's the point though. You're signing a guy and drafting his replacement. If he plays lights out (ala Brady), then that's a good problem to have. If his play deteriorates, you have someone ready to step in.

    Or he's already made up his mind. But I hope you're right.

    If this does prove accurate what does the NFL do about a done deal being reported two days before it is even legal to negotiate?

    Hopefully the Vikings sign Brees, leaving us to ink Cousins.

    Then I could root for both teams next year, with the Vikings and Brees being Super Bowl contenders.

    Trades may be made in the 20-30 minutes, but I think they're rare. When they do, I think the team seeking to trade makes a very fair or even generous offer so that the other team doesn't have to think a lot about it, and perhaps they've already decided they don't really like anyone at their pick. I think most often the teams have discussed details of possible trades beforehand, or talked to ascertain interest and what it might take to swing a deal.

    It is a big fucking deal. .My opinion is a big fucking deal Ralebird and the sooner you get onboard with that the better off you're gonna be.

    Now, back on-topic:

    Your emotional 'opinion' was wrapped in loaded wording. . You:. "Darnold REFUSED to throw" (like he was some kicking-and-screaming little brat). . The fact is, Darnold 'elected' not to throw, just like many blue-chippers before him.

    The combine meant squat to Darnold/Rosen. . And in my big-fucking-deal opinion, Rosen's interviewing at the combine carried far more weight than his throwing.

    "Here's a little piece fromSBNation?" . Yeah, I'm gonna hang my hat on SBNation's Jeanne Thomas: the last word in QB evaluation.

    The cost could be appalling, but then again, it could be completely reasonable. The Colts would only be dropping down 3 places. They don't need a QB. They'd be looking for an edge rusher or perhaps OL or Barkley. For instance if one of the Brown or the Giants takes Barkley and the other takes a QB, the deal might not cost so much, as the Colts know that both the Broncos and Jets likely will take a QB. Thus if they want or are willing to "settle" for either Chubb or Nelson, they could trade down to #6 and still get one of them.

    Where it could get really expensive is if the Jets and Broncos, and maybe the Bills or Cardinals also want to move up, then a bidding war would make the pick appallingly expensive.

    I have a very strong feeling that Cleveland will be in the SB before us. I wish that Dorsey was our GM.

    We still feel those because they happened about every year, and Tanny only traded back once to try to recoup picks. One time didn't cripple anything.

    A trade up involving a future 1st would prevent their doing anything in the following year to address the QB position unless there was one they liked in the 2nd round. In the 2nd year following, they would be fine. Yes, it would hurt somewhat due to the loss picks, but if the Jets use their available cap space wisely this year and the next in signing young FAs, they'd hardly miss those picks.

    Who said that the Jets would give up both seconds this year? Besides, the Jets haven't been exactly astute or stellar with their 2nd round picks. They could possibly trade their 2nd round picks for the next 5 years and not miss them.

    If the Jets sign Andrew Norwell, Ryan Jensen and Allen Robinson in FA, they wouldn't miss any of their picks this year and probably not next year, either.

    I agree in the sense considering Brees' age. I just think it would be awesome to get Mayfield and have Brees mentor him. Who better to help him learn how to play QB in the NFL at his height? I wouldn't care if Brees was only able to play half of his first season and we were on the hook for the next 2 1/2 seasons as long as he stayed as a veteran mentor/QB Coach to Mayfield and possible backup once Mayfield was ready to start. The Jets could also front load the contract so that they were paying Brees most of the money of the contract in the first season or two, so that they could cut him following his second season and not take a big cap hit.
