CorkScrewHill Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/05/14/could-russell-wilson-be-traded-by-the-seahawks/ In hindsight the Browns should have taken it. Got me thinking which QBs would I trade straight-up for Josh Allen KC - Mahommes (YES!) LV - Carr (platued - no) Denver - Lock (less proven than JA and less skilled - No) SD - Taylor (No) Indy - Rivers (downside of career - No) Houston - Watson (Not 100% convinced but odds of his success are better - Yes) Jacksonville - Minschew (lower upside - No) Tennessee - Tannihill (not as good as appeared last year - No) Pittsburgh - Rothliesberger (downside of career / injury - No) Baltimore - Jackson (not convinced he will be long-term great - but reluctant Yes) Cleveland - Mayfield (Attitude / size - No) Cincy - Burrow (Not proven - could be amazing or bust - Intrigued but pass) NE - Stidham (Less athletic - No) Jets - Darnold (more polished coming out of college, but has performed worse than JA so far; JA has higher ceiling - No) Miami - Tua (Injury / not proven - Interesting but pass) Eagles - Wentz (can't stay healthy - No) Cowboys - Prescott (higher cost and less upside - No) Redskins - Haskins (Just No) Giants - Jones (Similar weaknesses to Josh with less upside - No) Bears - Trubisky (Just No) Packers - Rodgers (Prima-donna / downside of career - No) Lions - Stafford (Never been abe to put it all together - No) Vikings - Cousins (huge price for solid but not spectacular results - No) Falcons - Ryan (I like his game, but closer to end than start of his career - tough choice but I would pass) Saints - Brees (I love Brees but looking to retire soon - No) Panthers - Bridgewater (placeholder till next guy IMHO - No) Bucs - Brady (GOAT, but an old GOAT - No) 49ers - Garrapolo (never too impressed - No) Rams - Goff (seems to have hit season and looks like a steady but not great QB - No) Seahawks - Wilson (great leader / great player -- Yes) Cardinals - Murray (was impressive as a rookie - I would be fine either way though I love Josh's size) 2 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I’m so confused! I thought this was going to be about the Seahawks trading Russell Wilson to the Browns and why ON EARTH they might ever consider that. Even the article title ends in a question mark. I had heard this rumored, but that aside....this thread is all about trading Allen? I’m getting dizzy...... But I’m glad you like Josh!!! .

RoyBatty is alive Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Considering Allen's upside and youth, it is hard to argue with trading him for much of anyone except for Watson, Jackson and/or Mahomes and still unproven Burrows. Prescott is close. Wilson, ehh maybe but he has some age on himself now. Edited May 14, 2020 by RoyBatty is alive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) I would take Daniel Jones over Josh Allen straight up! He looked outstanding as a rookie, without all-Star WRs, and is only gonna get better...? Edited May 14, 2020 by JaCrispy 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Either way JA is here and anyone we would consider moving him for would not be available anytime soon. That said, if forced to base an opinion I would only trade him for Mahomes or Wilson. But my opinion could certainly change by the end of the season. Most important season for a quarterback in buffalo in a really really long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 That’s insane IMO. Wilson is an MVP candidate every year. A winner, a mobile threat etc etc. I liked the 2018 class as much as anyone (shout out Rosen and Baker) but what a gaffe that would have proven to be.

Warcodered Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think a big question from that article has to be who did the Seahawks want to get? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Just now, ScottLaw said: Why’s that? Because Josh Allen is the greatest and there’s no chance another young QB could turn out better. 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t get it, all other young QBs are trending down whereas Allen is only going to keep getting better. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from watching Bills QBs it’s that they always get better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet Carroll was thinking about what he could do with Mayfield on a rookie deal and save $35 million to roll into skill positions and rebuilding a defense. Paying max contract to a QB makes filling out the rest of your roster difficult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying max contract to a QB makes filling out the rest of your roster difficult. I’m sure he was. And I understand the argument, I just don’t agree with it. Russ without a great team around him still put up STELLAR 18 and 19 campaigns. Baker put up good and okay numbers with a very talented Browns team (I know, Hue and Kitchens though.) Russell’s contract isn’t preventing Carroll from falling into All-Pro DB’s in the fifth round which was the real reason that team was so nasty in 2014. The other core guys were mostly drafted in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 If the question is who I'd trade Allen for straight up: Mahomes Watson Prescott Wilson Dat's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
