I have seen a lot of people mentioning JJ and trade value. I am curious what people think he is really worth. IMO not much. He had poor seasons in 2017/2018. He got absolutely abused by Mike Evans this year. Has a weekly salary of $597,058.
So let's say he is traded next week. He is owed 10 game checks with a cap number of $5,970,588. He has a $10.15 Million base salary in 2020 so a trading team has to be willing to part with a draft pick for a 10 game rental or be willing to take on a $10 Million cap hit for a guy who has been great since 2016.
I am curious what do you think he would reasonably get?
I'd trade him for a fifth. He's erratic, expensive, and we're not going anywhere this year anyway.
Agree Mike thats part of the problem say what you will but
we are still very much in this thing we are still playing
to win . Its a tough spot but someone gives you a 3rd
round pick and helps your cap space hard to say no.
We also have Beal ready to start practicing with
Love Ballentine and Beal all need to see some time
at CB slot and possibly FS
Don't focus too much on 2019.
This
Jenkins has an extra year remaining on his deal which at ~$10.5M is relatively cheap for a CB. I think that increases his value slightly relative to Peters who's a 10 game rental at this point.
I don't think it makes any sense for a Defense that struggles to get off the field to trade Jenkins unless Giants want to get Ballantine and Love more snaps on the this year for development purposes. I would rather keep him at this point.
Look at the Snacks trade, they thought that they could live without Snacks because who was behind him.
If DG thinks there is quality behind JJ, I'd say trade him. If they are unsure, keep him.
Agree completely Mike. It's unlikely, but at 0-2 and things looking bleak, no chance anyone here saw even THIS bit up upside after 6 games (ESPECIALLY with all the significant injuries).
Win this weekend and we're tied with Dallas or Philly.
No one, I repeat NOFRIGGINBODY saw that coming.
Keep him. Stud corners are hard to find. He had a terrible game against TB but seemed to return to himself since.
This.
Trading him doesn't make a lot of sense unless there is something behind the scenes which there doesn't appear to be.
Playoffs? Don't talk to me about playoffs!
I doubt we'd get much of a pick, but the cap relief would be nice.
Do it IF he's not in the plans for next year.
Especially with Beal coming back for the 2nd half of the season.
JJ literally can't cover worth shit anymore. I don't know what happened. Is he just slowing down with age? Did he get lazy with his conditioning and practice?
I have no idea but I'd love to get him and his contract out of here, bring in another young and hungry "diamond in the rough" in the draft that DG seems to be good at finding.
Hopefully Baker, Beal, Ballentine, and Love can step up and progress quickly. I mean I assumed the reason DG drafted all these guys is because he planned on getting rid of Jackrabbit sooner rather than later, right? Didn't we all think that?
I'd rather try to trade him for a starting LB of similar quality.
He is 31 years old.
I agree with this in principle but we're only 1 game out. I don't have any playoff expectations and deep down, the Giants may not either, but the Giants are playing in an underperforming and vulnerable division...they're still right in the mix so 2019 carries SOME consideration with Jenkins in Week 7.
For a team trying to 'fix' their culture the one thing they cannot do is quit on the season.
Trading Jackrabbit is NOT an option.
would get more than a 5th rd. pick.
If they don't trade him just move on from this mercurial
player after this season, 3.5 mill. in dead money,
about 8.5 in savings. He is not part of the solution moving forward.

and there's plenty of reason to let him go if he's not viewed as core moving forward.

I get it and DG might agree on the surface because it sends the right message and sells seats, merch, etc.
But, this team is looking hard pressed to win 6 unless they somehow catch lightening in bottle. They've got talent issues at key spots, and what looks like an overmatched coach and staff.
