I'd be shopping him right now.Ok now that Dak's tagged, here's a big question on my mind:
If we got 8-8, 9-7, miss the postseason, or lose a wildcard.....do we let him walk?

I definitely would as well. But can they do that now that he's tagged?I'd be shopping him right now.
What's a reasonable yield (draft picks-wise) and what's your plan on QB replacement (FA, 1st rounder QB or Cooper Rush)?I'd be shopping him right now.
I'd probably want two firsts, and second, and then a sweetener. And I think some team would pay it.What's a reasonable yield (draft picks-wise) and what's your plan on QB replacement (FA, 1st rounder QB or Cooper Rush)?
Yeah, if a trade was to go down, I'd go defense heavy in the draft and Rivers would be my Plan A.I'd probably want two firsts, and second, and then a sweetener. And I think some team would pay it.
And then I'd have to wait and see about a replacement. I'd probably look at Rivers first and foremost as a stop-gap and then look to trade up with my extra ammunition in this or next year's draft.
I think thats been well establishedJeri Derangement Syndrome?
Well, the team is gonna do the shortsighted thing for sure.I dunno, Rivers looked awful last year to me. He was always slow, but he can't move at all anymore.
The thing is, we all know there's zero chance the Jones boys would trade Dak for any amount. They're too terrified of going backwards and possibly not being relevant when they know Dak at least gives them that.
Problem is, Dak knows this, so he's going to ask for the moon. He knows they'll eventually give it to him.
Nobody was giving two 1's for Lawrence.Well, the team is gonna do the shortsighted thing for sure.
We need to break this addiction to paying our guys whatever they are asking for and start shipping some of them out instead of letting them hold us over a barrel.
We draft well enough that we shouldn't be scared of cashing in DeMarcus Lawrence for two first round picks, for example.
Then who would be your preference? If Rivers would command $25M, would you go for Jameis Winston/Mariota for less? Would you trade for Nick Foles? Or roll with Cooper Rush?I dunno, Rivers looked awful last year to me. He was always slow, but he can't move at all anymore.
In a copycat league, I can't see why more teams haven't copied the Patriots model. It's essentially a series of Herschel Walker-light.Well, the team is gonna do the shortsighted thing for sure.

Didn't Frank Clark bring a first and third?Nobody was giving two 1's for Lawrence.
The problem is that these guys don't plan ahead, they push everything to the limit thinking that "deadlines will make deals" and ultimately they're just boxing themselves in. The way to not letting these guys hold you over a barrel is by bringing in replacements a year earlier and developing an exit strategy, these guys never have an exit strategy.
They were too busy with Zeke.Should have done Dak last offseason but everyone thought another year of evaluation would help. Dumb move and predictably the price went up.
A 1st and then swaps in the 2nd and 3rd, so basically just a 1st and change, which is about all I think we could've gotten for Lawrence.Didn't Frank Clark bring a first and third?
If I trade Dak I say fuck it. Roll out Cooper Rush, trade away Zeke and tank. Whats the point of being mediocre and hoping for a QB to fall to us.Then who would be your preference? If Rivers would command $25M, would you go for Jameis Winston/Mariota for less? Would you trade for Nick Foles? Or roll with Cooper Rush?
I’ll bet if we looked back, there were a lot of guys on this board that didn’t want to sign him then. Wanted him to prove it first.Should have done Dak last offseason but everyone thought another year of evaluation would help. Dumb move and predictably the price went up.
