While T Law has been abysmal for us, theres very little upside for us in trading him. Should keep him as our ride or die for now, especially since we aren’t getting a franchise QB in return.

We also dont draft well, so picks arent of that much use in this scenario.
If the Jags can get out of that goofy ass contract you do it.

But the Steelers would be smarter to take their lumps with Fields for a low price and build a supreme team around him. Problem is they are cheap and don't really like to pay cats.

Ya'll said the same about Bortles, but Coen should be given 17 games with Lawrence to see if he can turn it around.

Wasn't Kirk an FA? I think guys like having 3 teams in Florida.
I just said keep him in Jax

And im tired of yall quoting me with these 2nd rate FA acquisitions like that proves something. Weve never done something like what philly, miami, or baltimore have with getting top FAs in recent years

Fair enough. I think you're right about the GM's because not like Khan won't pay.

It’s funny how Sam Darnold was the THIRD pick, and was pretty mediocre and even showed regression to the point he was let go and ended up on two different teams before landing with a QB friendly team in Minnesota. He has one good season (year 7) and now everyone is salivating over him.

Justin Fields had a horrible rookie season, but his second season was better despite his record and not having a single offensive weapon of note, no first round draft pick that year, and the worst defense in the league. Third season was even better than that, and after being let go from the Bears, he starts 4-2 with the Steelers. All I know is he almost broke the QB rushing record in year 2, and he does have a good deep ball. So after 4 seasons, he can’t be given a chance at all?

Edit: I forgot the Bears had the worst defense in the NFL in Justin’s second season and no first round draft pick

Steelers are cheap as fukk no doubt. But they can upgrade their defense even more. Doubt they'd ante up for Tee Higgins. Even if so, you'd piss off NFL Youngboy Pickens on the other side. I dunno, but TLaw ain't it and you get out of that deal IMO.

He was given a chance and they said we would rather go with washed 3 years ago Russell Wilson

Theres no reason to get out of the deal without a plan nikka..what are you talking about :mjlol:

Jags have no plan in place, if we gave up T Law for “flexibility”, theres no structure, itll set the franchise back. You only give up T Law if theres already a plan in place. Like if we had shedeur or ward on a silver platter, this would be non discussion, trade him away, but thats not the position we are in. We dont even have a player on the board in our draft position that we are positive will even help us on day 1

They can split that cap hit between this year and next, same thing Denver did with the 85m dead money from cutting Russ.


It's not a crazy scenario if the compensation is worth it and Cohen doesn't think Trevor will ever beat the big dumb QB allegations. Bigger issue is there's no Hurts in the building to give the keys to like when the Eagles made their pivot off Wentz. Rams flipped Goff but got Stafford in return, it's hard to go this route when you're in the dark about exactly who the next QB is.
