But I think that would be predicated in part on Minshew.

If he holds out or otherwise proved to be a malcontent/pain in the butt to force a trade, it possibly drives his price down.

He would be stupid to hold out. He is not special like that. lol

I don't know if he would hold out like that. But if he did and they actually cut him, I do think he would get picked up by another team. I think as long as he's not cut/traded for reasons like breaking the law he could land on another team. Though, it wouldn't be the best look for him to try and hold out given his situation and lack of leverage.

I know we have said and "hoped for this" but what QB injury in camp/preseason really forces a team to trade a 3rd for Minshew...


Only chance would a team that is basically "all-in" for this season facing a major QB injury like Tampa, Buffalo or LA Rams. And that would only play out if that injury happened during the season and they realize they cannot trust their current back ups to navigate 1-2 months.


I'm not saying the Jags should cut bait right now. But I don't anticipate the market getting that much better.

I think that if the Jags wanted the best value for Gardner they should have traded him when teams were first asking about him. There were multiple places he could have landed. But they dragged their feet on that for whatever reasons, even after signing CJ, trying to get Alex Smith and reaching out to Jeff Driskel. I'm not sure what their game plan is regarding Gardner. Waiting to trade him in hopes that a team needs him due to an injury doesn't seem like the best plan IMO. It might be different if no teams were asking about him, but they were and the Jags didn't take advantage of that.
