I know he has a no trade clause, but if he still thinks he can get it done, maybe he’s open to a new start?
Jacksonville? Reunited with Tom? Unlikely, considering Minshew has looked decent. That fan base would explode.
Jets? Just lost 2 QBs in a weeks time. Falk looked decent, but that would allow Eli to start and not leave the area, which he has been vocal about about being important.
Thoughts? Flame away
But I HIGHLY doubt we'd trade him to the Jets.
I think if a team was actually interested and willing to give up something (anything) in return AND Eli wanted to go, we trade him. But again, I just don't think he has any value at this point.
If I'm say the Jax Jags and I do have interest in Eli, wouldn't I have to make room under the cap to take on his contract?
OR - can I trade for him and then redo his deal and he would have to agree to it so he would fit under the cap prior to the trade commencing?
I don't think the Giants have the option to "eat" the money like they do in baseball.
Am I correct on this?
What do you mean what do you do? You continue to lose games. This team isn't good.
correct
Are you suggesting he has no value b/c he can't play - or b/c no one wants him at what they are going to have to pay him?
That's kind of what my question was.
I am wondering where this is coming from, the idea that Eli is a good mentor. He's good guy but I am not sure if mentoring DJ is his schtick.
Eli won't want to go anywhere immediately, but if in a few games Jones is showing he's ready, and Eli can play somewhere else. Jones hasn't started a game. Very different circumstance, but when Gino started he got all of 1 game.
Also, that is what KC got for Alex Smith (people will forget about Kendall Fuller) so this saves face for both Giants and Eli. And by this i mean if you trade Eli for a 7th round pick, its kind of a slap in the face, isn't it?

knowledge.. Eli has NO trade value.. So there are guys walking the street with better ability and possibilities than Eli? So if I am the Jets I am better off signing a street FA?
If I am the Colts and feel ELI will be a security blanket for a team that has SB talent at WR, Oline, Rb and defense?
Jags- I am fine with GM as my QB???
If the Giants got a 6th rd pick for Eli that would be a fine deal for us and the other team gets a guy who can still play with superior talent around him..
Who walking the street has better ability?? LOL
Joe montana???
