Dare I Say.. Sign Darnold?

[fearsomefour]

He's gonna get 40-50 mill per year

If the Rams pressure him and he has another game like he did against Detroit he probably won't.
That said, if the goal is to add first round talent Id rather spend less and bring in someone like Zach Wilson....first round talent who has done nothing.
One good year on a pretty loaded O....but still showing issues in dealing with pressure....I like Darnold but that price is wildly over valued.
With the number of teams needing QBs and the number that will be out there I think desperate teams will over pay all over the place.

You are assuming that the Vikes would even consider trading McCarthy who they have on a rookie deal for the next 3 or so years. Just not seeing that happening at this point.

They have Darnold, McCarthy, Jones and Mullins in the fold.
I don't think they will over pay for Darnold.
If Darnold gets a big offer to go somewhere else, which he probably will, I think it will be McCarthy backed up by Daniel Jones.

Jake has floated the idea of shipping a pick (mid to low) to Dallas for Trey Lance.
What would make this enticing is his huge lack of experience....something like less that 500 pass attempts through all of college and pro football to this point.
Get him signed on a few years modest deal to see if he can be developed with skilled coaching.
He certainly has the very, very raw physical tools.

Of course he has. Fortunately the Rams are smarter than that.

Im not saying I would do that, but, adding first round talent when one can is worth considering.
I just cant believe SF (Lynch I suspect) traded 3 picks to draft a guy with so few college passes.

Darnold is a choker, nope.
I would not see what Sean could do with Trevor L.

Jones is on their practice squad and is a UFA after they lose to the Rams

yeah for sure
Jake wants to trade for a player who's already a UFA? Brilliant

Cowherd loves Darnold and he's pointed out, "Peyton Manning lost his first 3 postseason games". He said, "that Detroit game was like a playoff game", but it wasn't. There was no danger of their season ending with a loss. This will be his first postseason game. It'll be interesting to see how he plays. Remember Kyler's first (and only) postseason game?

let's get Rodgers to back up Stafford next year...yeah that's the ticket.

I know you were being facetious, but you also made me throw up in my mouth

Shame
Shame
Shame...

Right.
I think they might resign him on the cheap as a backup instead of paying Darnold a big payday.

I think the plan is to activate him before the playoff game so when he signs elsewhere, he'd be part of the comp pick formula
I dont think there's any chance Jones is in Minnesota next year, they can re-sign Mullens for much cheaper
