Keeping JJM will be a business decision

[Canthony]

The more time goes on, the less chance I think Dimes stays...Too much $ to be had vs staying here for $10 or $15mm on a 1 year contract.

UNLESS, they promise him the chance to compete for QB1, then all bets are off.

Jones had a chance to go to two teams that promised him to start last year. He turned down offers to come here. KOC was involved quite a bit in the pre draft process with Jones. They have a really good relationship. He chose to come here because it is what's best for his future, he obviously knows that. He is still getting paid from the Giants, it makes sense for him to stay here and work with KOC, whom they have a great relationship. I don't think next year will be about the money for Jones. It will be about the best fit. 

Jones has said to KOC, rumor has it, that he wants to come back but it won't be as the #3. He is wanting a chance to compete for the #1 spot. Here he can do that. With KOC right by his side. I think it's a win win for Jones.

Thats a good pt re: him still getting paid by the Giants, forgot about that!

I am sure a lot have forgotten that. 2025 won't be about money, there is no need for it. The situation for him that makes most sense, is with KOC in MN.

Sure, Titans might choose to keep developing Levis, although I tend to think they've seen enough. But have you looked at the QB depth charts for the Raiders, Giants, Steelers, Jets, Browns? And the QBs available in free agency and draft? Yuck.

Just reading the early draft tea leaves, I bet we see 3 QB's go in the top 10 picks. Ward, Sanders, and Jaxson Dart. That probably eliminates three of those teams you mentioned. There's no way I could see Darnold going back to the Jets. If I'm Pittsburgh, I'd probably opt to re-sign Russell Wilson, who already knows the system, and try to add a few playmakers to an offense that sorely needs them. The Darnold market and where he ultimately ends up is going to be very interesting.

I have a feeling Brady likes him a lot...

Jaxson Dart? I think he's got a long way to go. I know that Mel likes him as a surprise QB3, but he fumbles and has a lot of INT worthy throws. He does have some nice intangibles and was highly rated coming out of high school. Average arm and size. I'd be beyond shocked to see Dart go in the top 10, lol....hell no way in round 1. I also think Cam Ward is a huge mistake at #1 overall if that happens. Draft Travis Hunter and play him on both sides of the ball.

The more I look at these upcoming QBs in the Draft, the more I dislike them all, lol. Lots of red flags. Even the guy that I like the best of the crop, Sanders.

I really can't wait until JJ plays. Really looking forward to him and KOC doing their thing. I get the vibe that he wants to do whatever it takes to keep getting better. He has the work ethic and attitude of wanting to be the best.

The word as of now, is that Dart is entrenched as the 3rd QB in this draft. Teams like his arm talent and that he's played in a more pro style offense under Kiffin. We've seen countless times teams overdrafting QB's because of need and we've discussed the available free agent options, so that's why I say that I could see him drafted in the top 10.

I don’t think him not going to those teams really affects too much.  No one was installing him as a starter this year ¾ of the way through the season and no one was offering him big bucks for the last few games.

I don’t think that really gives much of a read on what his future plans are if he has to choose between playing for a team that offers him moderate but still significant money to be a bridge starter on a bad team and probably riding the pine for us, but hopefully getting a better payday in the future.  I also don’t think it’s a given that he’ll be offered a starting job.  Like if someone offers you $50M more, how do you not take it?  Almost everyone is taking the money at that point.
