Utah John Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Darnold will want large money from someone. It won't be from us. Jake Fromm State Farm was drafted to be a cheap backup and maybe turn into a solid player. That's all the Bills want to invest in this position, aside from the monster dollars Josh will get.

Bigantall Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 9 hours ago, DJB said: Sounds crazy right? Well I could see this happen. The Jets look like they will be in the hunt for a new QB at the draft. (Not here to argue whether that is the right decision or not. However teams that don't win a game usually draft a QB). While we haven't seen Fromm, Barkley is a replacement level backup. Plus everyone knows that Josh and Sam are super tight. Is it likely the Jets move Darnold out of the AFCE? Likely. But I don't think its a crazy scenario that Darnold ends up in Buffalo somehow. Thoughts Bills fans?

JMF2006 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Some other team will give Samuel a chance to be a starter....it won't be the Bills bringing him in to back up his buddy. 3 or 4 years into a 3rd overall picks career is too early to give up on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Darnolds contract is around 9 million next year. Not going to pay a quarterback from Josh's own draft class more money than Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Bills Fanatic Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 In addition to some of the teams already mentioned as potential landing spots for Darnold; Jacksonville, Tampa, or Indianapolis could be desirable for Darnold because of the chance to eventually be a starter again. I can't picture Brady and Rivers playing effectively beyond the 2021 season. Jacksonville is such a train wreck that he could start right away.

Doubtful he fetches much. 3 years burned on rookie deal - 1 left. If the NYJ eat the roster bonus, you get more value (he'd only have to be paid a little under 1 million if you trade him after camp starts... in a year where caps probably somewhat crunched this is likely the case). Assuming his 5th year option is not selected (you don't want it to be - 1 year at top 10 money) - you're getting him as a cheap rental. Not a potential young guy franchise QB etc. You just get the tag as leverage if he's good. Is that worth a 2nd rounder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreboding Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 No chance...yet. He has to flame out a couple of more times. He has talent and size and teams will give him some more tries. Especially since failing on this ***** show of a Jets team will not be measured as big a failure as if he were with a decent organization. In a few years, if he does not do better, then possible...

TigerJ Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 As the Op says, it's more likely the Jets ship Darnold outside of the AFC East. As another poster suggested, I could see Mitch Trubisky ending up in Buffalo before Darnold. In any case, cap money is going to be tight in the off season, so don't expect Buffalo to spend a lot on a backup QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 He'll go some place that gives him a legit chance to start. If he flames out there too, then could see him coming to Buffalo around 2023/24 or so as a back up. By then Fromms contract would be about up too so they'd need to decide what they want to do with him, but good change he'd also want to leave for chance to start.

Chuck Wagon Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Bears, Colts, Steelers, 49ers, Saints (though I think they think their Taysom thing is real), Washington, Patriots, Bucs, Broncos could all potentially be in the market for a new starting QB (not to mention Jets / Jags likely taking Fields / Lawrence). As much as they would like to, Brady, Big Ben, Rivers, Brees will retire at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Otreply Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Being that Sam basically sucks at the quarterback thing, and he will cost at minimum a third round pick, and will add absolutely Zero to the teams offensive output, there is NFW he becomes a Buffalo Bill at any time during his career, now that’s just my opinion of course... 😁 Go Bills!!!

I don’t think Sam sucks a QB what sucks is the situation that he’s been put in , i really believe that he could still be a quality starter in a team like the Colts or Pittsburgh for example , with good coaching and a good surrounding cast , Do you really believe if Josh Allen was drafted by the Jets he would have the same success he’s having now ?

Ramza86 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 To me there are still plenty of teams willing to take a shot on Darnold. 3rd pick overall in a train wreck of a situation. There are coaches out there with holes at QB and believe in their coaching ability. Only way i see hes a Bill is if he has failed on his next opportunity. Maybe 3-4 years down the road.

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I'm not sure why you're getting so many negative reactions to this. Obviously the Jets will select a QB #1 overall, which obviously means that Darnold will be on his way out, likely to be a backup somewhere else. Is it too far-fetched that it might be Buffalo? 14 hours ago, SCBills said: I’d be down for Trubisky. Darnold isn’t happening, and I’d be shocked if he fetched a 2nd with only one year left before the option year and the Jets unable to get him on the field to prove anything.

You may very well be correct. Unfortunately for Darnold, the Jests probably won't just release him so that he can pick his team. A trade scenario will be a bit more complex because of his contract situation. I don't believe anyone will give the Jests much in a trade which could only amount to a short term rental for the receiving team. Signing him to an extension and trading him doesn't seem likely either because he really hasn't shown enough to warrant a pay day. The only real hope for the Jests is that a couple of desperate GM's get into a bidding war and over pays in a trade and recognizes that they may have to over pay to extend his contract down the road. That would be quite a gamble and the kind of move that will get a GM fired. I often wonder how the Jests continue to get themselves in these kinds of situations.
