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.

If the current starting QB of Denver, Pittsburgh, Washington gets hurt, they are more likely to just tank the season to draft a QB next year.
Patriots are tied Jones, Carolina to Stafford, GB to Love. None would introduce the drama of a competitor for the starter role for those guys.
Eagles are loosely tied to Hunt, but probably secretly tanking like the Jags did last year.
Texans appear to planning to tank, and more like to throw just ride with Mills given they had no picks this year.
Even Seattle would probably be better off tanking to get some good picks for a influx of talent on the offensive line, edge rusher, or secondary in the situation that RW gets hurt given how tough their division is. Heck, even with RW they could be the worst team in their division.

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.

Makes sense.

Unless somehow Pittsburgh still sees itself as a contender.  An early injury to Big Ben is the only thing that would cause Pittsburgh to even consider a trade for Minshew, but they are patient enough as an organization to just endure that sort of season and just start anew.

On the other hand, they have made some trades recently (Minkah Fitzpatrick and the move up for Bush)..

But it's doubtful they would make a deal for Minshew.  Like I said, there aren't too many teams with a dire need at QB at this point.

The guys on 1010 speculated Philadelphia might be interested, but I don't see that rither.  While I am no fan of Jalen Hurts, they have too much invested in him in terms of the whole QB controversy, they will go with Hurts as the starter for at least this year in the attenpt to justify themselves.
