the front office and DJ's reps can't come to an agreement?
Let's say for sake of argument, we tag Daniel and contract negotiations occur but we're very far apart. Instead of him playing on the tag, he threatens to hold out. The front office then trades him to a QB needy team like Carolina and we recoup some picks.
Would you consider exploring a trade for Trey Lance for our first rounder? If not, what do you think his realistic trade value is?
NOTE: this is not a DJ thread but rather trying to get a sense of the perceived value of Trey Lance.
But I'd defer to the people making these decisions.
My offer would be a 2023 3rd and a 2022 2nd.
Not saying they would accept that.

probably not the 2022 2nd.
At least he got to learn for a year behind a veteran coach and veteran QB unlike the Jets.
Right before his injury last year Lance looked overall real bad to me.
Passing-wise, Lance has a better arm than Jones, but less accuracy than Jones.
So, you'd be trying to acquire the better arm talent, but realizing you have to work in the accuracy.
There just isn't enough data that would convince me to cough up #25 for Lance.
I know it's crazy right? I thought they were toast when Purdy took over. When I watch Purdy, he looks to me a lot like Heineke... though. I'm not sold on him, but he shockingly does seem to be a better fit than Garoppolo. He's sneaky decent and has a ridiculous team around him. And good coaching. I think that says more about Jimmy G than Purdy though.
15 comp/31 Attempts - 48.4% completion - o td, 1 int
Brock Purdy, last pick in draft, first 2 games
37/55 - 67.2% completion, 5 TDs 1 int
And you want to trade for that? LOL

All due respect, but if DJ goes elsewhere, then yeah it's worth exploring. Question was what is his realistic trade value. Here's what Sy had to say about him:
Trey Lance / North Dakota State / 6’4-224
Grade: 79
Summary: Third year sophomore Marshall, Minnesota. One-year starter that lost nearly the entire 2020 season to the Covid-19 pandemic, as North Dakota State played in just one game. In his one season as a starter, Lance won the Walter Payton Award (top player in FCS), the Jerry Rice Award (top FCS freshman), and the Missouri Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year Award. He led the Bison to a National Championship while going the entire year without throwing an interception. Lance is the definition of a risky draft pick. He lacks starting experience, and he didn’t have to throw the ball a ton. There is so much unknown here, but nobody can argue against what he actually put out there when on the field. Lance has an ideal blend of tools and showed really good intelligence. He is advanced on multiple ball handling tactics and his footwork looks natural and easy. Lance has the upside to be one of the best players in this class and he plays the ultimate position. The question will be just how big of a learning and adjustment curve will it be for him, coming from FCS and playing in just one game since the end of the 2019 season.
*Lance is going in the top 10, I think. I won’t dismiss it or “criticize” that at all. This has been such a unique year when it comes to the college football season and scouting process. With the information had (mostly tape), this is the conclusion I came up with. Lance is a really attractive prospect that has a lot of tools. But a QB that played this-little in college, at a lower level mind you, would scare the crap out of me if I am taking him to lead my franchise. Now, a team like SF has extra access to the guy that trained him over the past month and there were multiple Pro Days. Lance has attractive tape on multiple levels, I just didn’t see enough. Highest risk-reward ratio of all the QBs in the draft by far.
Lance is still just 22 years old and has a ton of untapped potential. If he were in this year's draft class, I'd wonder how he'd stack up against the other QBs, most notably someone like Anthony Richardson who some have projected going off the board around the 25th pick.
This reminds me of the "now would be a GREAT time to go get Josh Rosen for as little as a 2nd round pick!!!" posts from a few years ago.
It feels like he was drafted an eternity ago.
This. And prior to Lance getting hurt he didn’t show one iota the level of play that the last pick of the draft has shown. I would be upset. Until proven wrong.
The time these guys figure it out they are finishing up their Rookie contract.
You think 2 1sts get it done for Willis? Not if we are picking in the 20s. Maybe 2 top 10 picks.
