Do the Jets trade for Winston?

Just read an article that said Winston might be the Jets best option if Rodgers is in fact done for the year. Not a lot out there in free agency and the Saints would probably part with him for a decent draft pick.

Saints would then have to sign someone though as our 3rd string is suspended for a few weeks and I don't think they have too much faith in Hill.

Interesting talking point anyway.

Re: Do the Jets trade for Winston?

I don't think this will happen, Winston is not an upgrade to what they already have in Zach Wilson. I am also not sure that Winston is the type of guy that can learn a new system and playbook quick enough to make an immediate impact for a QB needy team at this point in the season.

That LT #76 looked as though he was trying cut the DE legs, not good, but he looked like he kneeled down and wiffed on the block that this morning sounds extended missed time or possibly season ending for Rodgers.

Been mentioned previously but watched back several games yesterday and league wide the talent level on the offensive line looks thin. If you have um keep um.

Zac Wilson looked much better than last season at times. Winston did not look good this preseason especially when the first read was not open. His pocket presence, scrambling and decision making once he has to moved look awkward at best. Think someone would have be down to 3rd string QB to consider this option.

Additionally he is our only real option if God forbid Carr goes down.

Never a big fan of the Rodgers drama but feel really bad for Rodgers and the Jets … 4 plays into the season.

Yup. I have been trying to make this point for weeks. And several more OL players went down this weekend. Seattle alone lost two OT's to turf toes.

As for trading Winston, do the Jets even have a decent pick remaining? I thought they gave up the boat just to get Rodgers.

Re: Do the Jets trade for Winston?

Really stinks for Rodgers and the Jets.

I agree about suspect OL depth. On top of that - putting Chargers/Dolphins game aside - NFL defenses seem way ahead of the offenses. This will level out somewhat as we get further into the season ... but personally I'm starting to feel college football games have more flow (long commercials notwithstanding) and are more entertaining to watch until these NFL offenses shake off all the cobwebs and get into gear after a few weeks or so.

They have a few picks left. Including the Broncos 4th rounder. Which if they traded to the Saints would give the Saints 3 of the Broncos picks in this draft I think.

Re: Do the Jets trade for Winston?

J E T S aren't desperate enough. Winston is a solid #2 QB at this stage of his career. If he thought he could push somewhere, it's very likely he would already have made a move. He's under contract for this year, and we'll see for next year. If "pretty boy" Haener develops enough, maybe the Saints make the move later in the year with a team desperate enough.

I'd be shocked if the Saints are even remotely interested in trading Jameis.

Good depth & not expensive.
