Supposedly a deal in place for number 1 and Harold Landry. Would you be ok with this? How much is too much capital?

Am I reading this right-  1st and 3 round this year and a 3rd round next year?

So basically two 3rd rounders to swap 1sts?

And the Giants get a player?

If they love a QB, that's not a lot of capital.

Yeah I couldn't decipher that either but I would be ok with the two thirds assuming it is the two thirds and Harold Landry. Anything more than that and I'm not down.

Why would they move up to take Ward when they passed on JJ McCarthy and Bo Nix last year who were better QBs.

I think they want Carter if they make that move, maybe Hunter.

If Tenn is set on drafting Hunter or Carter, then the Giants pick is as low as they can realistically go. So they are getting something and still getting the player they want. Also it seems to be in-line with previous deals like this.

Landry last 4 years-
28 yr old linebacker/Edge
If traded team getting him would be on the hook for 10 million in 2025 and 17.5 in 2026.

2024- 71 tackles 9 sacks
2023- 70 tackles 10.5 sacks
2022- injured
2021- 75 tackles 12.5 sacks

Maybe Thibs would be included in that trade since it includes Landry?

I don't know who these guys on X are. Do they have a track record of being right?

Two non-authoritative sources. The initial literally says he doesn't know if what he's publishing is true. The latter says a "framework is in place" and that "Titans did't say yes, but didn't say no"--are you kidding me? This is an attempt at journalism? Seems to me like people who want to pretend like they're in the know but hedge so heavily they can pretend the thing they heavily imply was a sure thing was actually never a sure thing if they turn out to be wrong.

Oh I know it's not authenticated but it's everywhere on X with ppl discussing it etc and so I published it simply as a way to discuss it because it's intriguing either way.


There's also rumors swirling that they offered Rodgers and his only condition was bringing Adams with him.

So you never really know but it's fun to at least discuss.

Silly season is in full swing. If someone reliable from NFL Network or Adam Schefter (on a good day) says something firm (as opposed to rumours, possibly, options, exploring blah blah) then I will pay attention. Only when any deal is confirmed can we really judge.

For the little it is worth my view is that if we do land Aaron Rodgers (an idea I hate) it only makes any sense as a one year bridge on very low $ to a rookie QB which likely requires the trade up to 1 to ensure we get the one of our choosing. It is not necessarily either/or.

Anything can spread on X.  That does not make it accurate.  That's why major media sources require higher levels of verification.

Non-story til a major source verifies.

Would you be more unhappy if Giants want to trade up for Ward or trade up for a non-QB prospect?

Not sure how I feel about this.  If it's for Ward or Sanders, how they can they be so sure this early in the offseason in the prospect and thus have a deal in place?  Remember Sean Payton didnt like Bo Nix after the Combine due to his subpar throwing session but later his attitude changed.

For this to happen, three things must be true.

1)  The Titans have evaluated the QB class and even though they need a QB, they don't feel Ward is the answer (and for this rumor to be good, they need to be wrong about their assessment).

2)  The Giants must evaluate Ward and decide his talent is that of a franchise QB and is more talented than QB alternatives, so they are willing to give up extra draft capital to draft Ward number one.

3)  The Giants and Titans must agree to terms

I'm not buying this one at all. The Titans would be foolish to trade #1 without at least acquiring a 2nd rounder (if not 2). I don't see including Landry as a salary dump as any kind of incentive to accept so little in return.

JS and BD need a miracle to save their jobs.  Sorry but a non-QB will notbsave them.  Carter can get 12 sacks. Ext year but of they cant get a QB to go 3,500 yards +, 28/10, they are gone.  They will take a flier on Ward or Sanders to save them but not Carter.  Only if they secure a good FA QB do they trade up to take Carter.
