This means the Jets will not be getting Mariota. Either the Titans want him and won't trade the pick, or they won't trade it to the Jets, who can't match what the Browns are offering.
Cowboys ?Does anyone think Manziel is worth anything to another team?
I wonder if a team would offer a 4th or 5th for him.
I don't know enough about Mariota's specifics to tell you if he's the real deal, but at that price he better be.

I wouldn't agree that the Jets can't match that offer. I think #6 + Muhammad Wilkerson would be a great starting point for a trade. The Titans could get a stud DL and still get a great player at #6 (plus anything else the Jets would have to give up).
I still love the idea of a 3-team trade on this. Something like (not necessarily limited to):
Bradford + 1st round pick from Philly to Cleveland
2 first round picks from Cleveland to Tennessee
#2 pick from Tennessee to Philly
I'm not saying it's a good/bad trade for anyone. I just want to see what Chip Kelly can do if he's got everything he wants on the field.
They supposedly solved the problem when they picked Manziel. Before that they blew a pick on Weeden. Now they will trade a kings ransom (it will take more than the first offer) to draft strike 3.I think they are being smart. The downside is the they continue to really suck, finishing with 4 or 5 wins every year- that is, if they are wrong about the QB. If they do nothing, they still won't win eight games with the QBs they have in place. You might as well go for it; just name the top 12 QBs and you essentially have just named the playoff teams. People who think you need to build the rest of the team and take what you are given before getting your franchise QB are delusional and behind by about ten years. If there's a chance to get a superstar quarterback, take it. Your great offensive tackle, wide receiver, or outside linebacker isn't going to get you much in the win column.
I do think they should look at their player development, too, though. It can't just be bad luck that every QB they pick ends up failing so fast.
