2021 NFL Free Agency/Trade News & Discussion: March Edition

[Hyped]

If we actually DO trade for Watson....will Cam ask for his release?

 

[Rob0729]

Define evidence

They are making moves that makes it look more likely that they are preparing to make the team conducive to a trade for Watson. It could be to mentor Tua or it could be adding a back up who's playing style is more similar to Watson's. Just speculating.

Agree but why do we need Newton and Brisett as Back ups?

I really dont understand why is it so necessary for people to think Newton as a straight back up?
Does it help getting through the day?

?? I’ve seen Brissett actually win games. I’ve hardly seen Stidham complete a pass.

Brissett also got a lot of reps and game experience with a pretty solid Colts team build by Ballard.

Stidham never got any of that when he was called upon. Objectively, it makes for a huge difference.

Either way both are backup tier at best.

Wonder what the overlap with the "Wynn as a guard" crowd is.

No it was more of a Joke I hope for a trade up in draft cause i don't want to see Newton with Stidham or Hoyer as our QB Room and i don't see the need for Brisett when we have Newton
Just a failed try for a joke

1 year at $7M
Excellent value by the Jaguars

Schefter says 2/14.5 9.2 fully guaranteed

I don't think the Pats will trade for Watson. I think they would release Newton if he had a shot at a starting role somewhere else in that scenario. But I can't see it coming to that.

It’s better than sitting in fear of him being out there ruining another season.

 

[ashley]

Wonder what this means and if it even involves him at all or is just patriot related

I most certainly not belong to this crowd

 

[Bill Lee]

 

[JMC00]

That seems more personal related than Pats.

 

[Bill Lee]

Related to @Joker ???

Dalton to Chicago, Taylor to Houston, Brissett to Miami. Lots of QB movement suddenly. Dalton is probably a starter... Taylor I would think would be a backup, but it only being a 1-year deal makes me wonder if this is pre-empting a Watson trade.

Is winning 12 out of 32 really something to brag about?

Andy Dalton the lynch pin?
