    With all due respect, there's no way your proposal is accepted.

    I would think #2, #23 or Quinnen and a 2022 1st would do it, plus some swapping of rounds between the teams.

    Would give them blue chip players on each side of the ball this coming year and a pair of 1sts to work with next year.

    I don't know, though, some crazy ass team might offer four firsts or 6-7 picks/players because he's the right kind of talent at the right age for something unprecedented like that.

    I don't see the point of adding sure thing pieces to one side of the ball if you're going to take them away from the other side. 3 first rounders... #2 and Jamal Adams. That's it.

    I think you are severely underestimating what it's going to take to get Watson.

    There's no way that's gonna be enough IMO. There are probably 6-8 teams in this sweepstakes. I'm fine with looking for a competent replacement for Williams. Interior DL don't win championships.

    Half of these teams these bozos are mentioning have little to no cap space or are in the negatives. Those teams also pick outside of the top 10 (besides Carolina) and don't have the luxury of multiple 1st round daft picks.

    It's Jets or Fins and maybe San Fran because they'd be swapping Jimmy G's contract for Watson's and would still be in an okay cap situation.

    Maybe, but adding a high-value established player like Q to #2 is hard to match from other teams. You may get more picks from a team like the 9ers, but you won't be getting the first shot at Fields or Wilson.

    I'm fine with it too, but not while give away 4 more 1st rounders with him... thats nuts. If that is what they are asking for, then good luck to them. I'd rather roll with Sam.

    On the surface, I agree. Parting with 4 first rounders and Williams is an extraordinary amount of capital. But this is an extraordinary situation.

    Mahomes, Lamar, Allen and tons lesser b extent Herbert, Burrow and Lawrence all in the AfC for the foreseeable future.

    There is no scenario where I'd rather roll with Sam. If you don't do the trade, draft Sam's replacement.

    It doesn't make sense to include Q or any other talent on the roster in a trade for Watson for the Jets or the Texans. The Jets need to surround Watson with talent and the Texans need to cut salary and collect draft picks. They should be looking to trade Tunsil, draft Watson's replacement and some O-linemen, and have a veteran qb play for them this season.

    They are basically the Jets when Douglas took over, except they don't have their 1st or 2nd round picks this year. Douglas used Adams to bring in picks and the 2020 season to clear bad contracts. By the time they are ready to compete, Q will need to be extended.

    The #2 pick could be worth 3 1st round picks by itself. So you are giving it away plus 3 other 1st round picks and the 2019 #3 overall pick Quinnen Williams? That would suck so much and go against Douglas' philosophy 100%. Watson may even reject that, knowing the Jets would be terrible and unable to build around him.

    That is totally understandable and I wouldn't be opposed to drafting a QB. But, I think if we don't get Deshaun, that's what is going to happen. I get the feeling they will give Sam another shot.

    there are some insane drunken sailor offers being suggested

    far lesser package would get TL -- who by all accounts is the second coming of Jesus and on a rookie scale

    It's like the dot com bubble or that Tulip mania from long ago

    As far as Cimini, how can you blame him? It’s really his only option to play it down. He’s a public media figure, if he plays up the likelihood at all the national media landscape will focus on him. The fans will all turn on him if it doesn’t work out.

    It’s not his fault, he has to downplay this one and I get it.

    I REALLY like Watson as a player, and was who I really hoped the JETS would draft instead of Adams, but I'm going to say NO WAY JOSE to that deal...... essentially 5 first round picks, with 2 near the top of the draft :confused:

    There is no way we make this trade. Especially if you consider you could most likely trade 3-4 first for the #1 pick. Absolutely wouldn't happen. And I seriously doubt Q is traded. I think he was probably the one player Saleh was most excited to coach.

    Lol. Seriously some people are just ready to trade the whole team here. Any team that pays everything is going to be a losing team and he will want out. I think 3 first will do it. Maybe a 2nd and 3rd tacked on.

    I could be wrong, and I'm certainly not an expert, but with what I have read about Joe Douglas I can't see him giving that much draft capitol away to secure one position.....even if it IS the QB. I expect that the Jets will make a reasonable offer - and then move on. Hard to see DW coming here, but with Sherman, Marshal, and other notables advising otherwise, and Saleh being here, who knows.
