Bringing in Darnold should be to only compete with Eason.

I feel like I only respond negatively to your posts, and for that...I apologize. But sometimes you make definitive statements that have me wondering where you came up with the logic.

Not everything is black and white. Winston had almost 2 million in playing time incentives in his contract this year.  Taysom Hill had also signed an extension for 16 million guaranteed. Perhaps the Saints wanted to see if he could actually handle being a starter. The Saints also saw their backup QB from the year before perform well replacing Brees and end up on a division rival this year. Another reason Payton might have gone with Hill over Winston is because in Covid year Hill had actual experience in Payton's system where Winston had not. Sean Payton is on the record saying the Saints want Jameis back. I would bet that if he is brought back that he is the starter in New Orleans next year.

They are going to be paying Hill 16 million this season.    They are already in bad shape cap wise.   How can they afford to pay Winston?

Much rather Wentz than Darnold/Trubisky.

 

Wentz has at least played to a top level at some point and has proven he has it, and Reich is the man imo to get it out of him.

 

The other two, have shown very little, ok they have a poor surround, but they would be a back step from Rivers. Why would Colts take a back step now?!

Would yall do this?

Colts Receive: Carson Wentz
Eagles Receive: 2021 No. 21 pick, 2021 No. 85 pick, 2022 third-round pick

 

 

No I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't even give them our 1st unless we were getting #37 back.

Watson is younger and would be worth the amount given up.

 

Wilson would not IMO 

Jets can have all our scrubs for Darnold. 

People are acting like 32 is old. This is the new NFL. Look at who just won the Super Bowl. The Colts are not much different than the Bucs from last season. You add a QB like Russ and this team is a legit Super Bowl contender. I would trade three or 4 number ones for a top 5 NFL QB who would legitimately make us a contender over trading for a first for the other QB's who might be available.

Just a month ago the conversation was how many picks Philadelphia would need to include in order to dump Wentz and now all of a sudden they are getting the equivalent of 2 1st round picks. How the hell did this happen? I surely hope Ballard is sticking to his guns in setting a price and never going over it. And I hope for Wentz that price is no richer than a 3d round pick.

Rock for Darnold...

 

I am a reasonable guy...I will give the NYJ...Rock, Turay and Wilkins...for Darnold.

 

Those are 3/5 pieces from that 2018 draft trade. So not only do they get a trio of players from a team they love to pick up players from...they get to save some face on that trade up for Darnold. 

 

Classic win/win.

 It's the NFL. If the team wants a player they find a way to make it work. I'm sure it would involve the cutting of players or the restructuring of contracts. I'm not saying it would be easy, I'm just saying that Sean Payton is on record as saying that the Saints want Winston back.

It is when you would need to give up multiple high picks for him

Even still... how is Wentz going to fetch the same that Stafford got? If he's as good/sure thing as that price suggest, Philly wouldn't be trading him. 

His stock isn't nearly as high but I'm willing to think some team will be desperate enough to pay the high cost.

 

I'll say the Broncos

I've been firm on the position that IF Wentz costs 1st+, I would much rather use the exact same package that we will be giving up for him, to go get a QB we want in the draft. I might even throw in some more because of the discrepancy in salary. With 2 1sts you probably can get Lance... and if McShay and Kiper and the rest of the ESPN draftniks are right, maybe even Fields... this is a no brainer here. Go the draft way.

I would rather give up multiple high picks and win a Super Bowl than to not make a move and sit on the fringes of contention. QB is the MOST IMPORTANT position in the game. Russ is a proven winner and top 5 QB in the NFL. He takes our team from being a good playoff contending team to a Super Bowl contender. You make the trade for Russ and those high picks aren't so high because we are drafting at the bottom of the 1st round. I don't understand the fascination with the unknown over the proven. I'm not advocating trading for a guy like Wentz or Darnold who have yet to do anything in the league. I'm saying trade for a proven stud who instantly makes us one of the top 5 teams in the NFL.

Whatever the price was for Wentz Ballard isn't going there.  From recent reports we have moved on to other possibilities.  So unless Howie caves in to Ballard's offer soon I'm not expecting Wentz to be a Colt.  Maybe these reports about our interest in Ryan and Darnold will get Howie to cave in.  We shall see.  One thing is for certain.  Ballard wants a veteran starter for next year.  Not a rookie.

Would yall do this?

personally I'm not giving up a 1st for Wentz w/ two 3rds (or any other combination of picks) but that's just me

 

and I suspect the part about how "they think they can fix him" is actually more like "Frank thinks he can fix him"

With Russell Wilson you have both. He is a QB that makes us contenders now and into the future. Ballard has proven what he can do with picks in rounds 2 through 7. He got us the Maniac, Taylor, Pittman, Walker, and others. I trust that he will be able to continue to that. The way QB's are playing in today's NFL a trade for Russ could give us our QB for the next 6-10 years or even longer. A QB like Wilson behind our offensive line with Taylor in the backfield put us in a position to win now and in the future.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By NFLfan · Posted

      No, but I would love that! Is that true? Where did you hear that? I don't think that will happen. I heard that trading Herbert would result in a huge dead cap hit for the Chargers, that would make it nearly impossible to keep or sign other players.

      This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though.
