Odds Eli is Traded???

Saos1n : 9/17/2019 10:23 am
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

He's staying

he has a wealth of knowledge for DJ, and he'll likely enjoy the money to stand on the sidelines. Once he accepts his fate, that is.
If Jones is injured and Eli has been traded what do you do?

Eli wants to stay in the NJ area and the Jets need a QB/mentor for Darnold. They also have the cap to absorb his.


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.
I'm trying to work through  
Dnew15 : 9/17/2019 11:29 am : link
the idea of trading Eli.
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.
If he retires, does he still get paid?

Eli doesn't have trade value.

I don't know how much it needs to be said.

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.
Eli is still essential to the development of Jones.  
Karl Hungus : 9/17/2019 11:50 am : link
He's a pretty good mentor. Unless they plan on bringing him back as a coach next year, he's staying.
No team in this league  
Rflairr : 9/17/2019 12:28 pm : link
would start Eli, BUT the Giants
Dottino just raised this possibility on WFAN

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.

If QBs keep going down and if Jones plays well  
DavidinBMNY : 9/17/2019 1:35 pm : link
This is realistic. Backups of starters are down already week 2 in the season. There are a number of Qbs out already. Brees, Big Ben, Simien, Darnold, Luck (not full season). It wouldn't cost a team very much to have Eli either. It's pure salary at this point and only paid game by game. It's ~$718K a game.

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.



I for it would have to be 3rd round pick.  
rasbutant : 9/17/2019 1:46 pm : link
He will sign with someone next year and just because QB salaries are so high, he'll net a 3rd round comp pick.

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???
