Would you trade JJ Watt for Jimmy G & a first?
Are you nuts?
I didn't say I would. It was a topic I saw on twitter.
It makes some sense. It would take another big swing at solving the QB issue, it frees up cap space to sign guys like Bouye, and it gives us a 2nd first round pick. All huge deals. It also prevents another potential problem of the defense not gelling with JJ returning. How much better can our defense get with JJ back? On paper, we should be all time great, but it never seems to work out that way.
Just an interesting topic, I thought.
It's really not that interesting. A backup QB and a late first round pick is absurdly low for Watt. And we'd only free up $4.5M in cap space for 2017 according to overthecap.com.
The only way it'd even remotely make sense is if Jimmy G is the second coming of Aaron Rodgers, but if he was, New England wouldn't trade him. They'd push out Brady the same way Favre got pushed out.
In any case, there is no way we would trade JJ, nor should we. But if you want to throw out hypotheticals, it'd need to be a huge bounty in return.
