There are other examples (which I can’t think of offhand!). First time I’ve heard of a trade like this. Presumably some commercial benefit that the Yankees can see. He’ll never play in MLB.

Is a baseball career a real possibility for when he finishes his football life? When he was in college at NC State, he wanted to keep playing both sports but the football coach didn't want him to, favoring up-and-coming quarterback Mike Glennon. So he transferred for one year to play at Wisconsin while continuing to play minor league ball in the summer. We went to spring training with his baseball clubs for several years but to my knowledge hasn't gone in recent years. The funniest part about it is there was a point where 3 of 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL were former NC State quarterbacks (Wilson, Glennon, and Rivers), which for (arch-rival school) UNC fans like me is hilarious because even with three of them NC State never managed to be particularly good. He's never had a particularly good year in minor league ball but even Michael Jordan enjoyed kicking around the farm teams for a year or so.

Think Bo Jackson may have done so as well. Shame how forgotten he's become. He was at the top of both games simultaneously -- one of the most feared hitters in baseball while one of the most dangerous running backs in football.

Only one dead rubber in there (Rams) - the Jags still had something to play for when he put up 37 points against the best D in the league. With Pierre Garcon as his number one receiver! Its not without risk but one worth taking for the niners. He has looked very good, albeit from a small sample. And even after this, the niners still have the second most space in the salary cap and it puts pressure on the caps of whoever signs Cousins and Smith, as well as those who have QB contracts up next season (Rodgers, Wentz, Wilson amongst others I think) as they’ll all be rubbing their hands together.

mrcrouchy Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I think its a lot of cap space ($37m) to give to a QB who has not much talent around him next year at the skills positions. Maybe will get Saquon Barkley in the first round which would be a good pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'd expect Taylor to be the placeholder for whichever QB the Browns draft at #1 or #4 in the draft.

luckyBatistuta Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Colts have traded their number 3 pick in the draft to the Jets. In return, they will receive the Jets 6th, 37th and 49th picks, plus their second round pick in 2019. When first seeing the headline, I wasn’t happy, but looking at what we are getting and with having so many positions in need of upgrading, it seems like a good trade for the Colts. We could still possibly get Chubb at 6, so could be a great bit of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew the Colts weren’t taking a QB, so I reckon they might have been thinking of taking Barkley with their 1st and then still able to get the QB they want with their 4th pick. It’s possible we might even trade down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
