Someone is throwing shit at the wall with Cousins. Minnesota is not trading Cousins and run with Nick Mullens. Far more likely that the Vikings will move Mullens. That would make Saleh happy because he wants the SF offense even though he doesn't have Shanahan's brains to run it. No qb in Minnesota, no Jefferson extension and he is leaving at the end of next season. So, trading Cousins is losing two star players. If the Jets are having qb conversations with Minny, it's probably over Mullens.
This was supposed to be a "watch and learn" year for Wilson with his idol Aaron Rodgers. Circumstances unfortunately intervened. Doubly unfortunate to have the guy exposed to Hackett who somehow managed to destroy Russell Wilson's reputation.
There are not a lot of viable alternatives for the Jets.
You said a lot of good stuff above....EXCEPT...
Nobody destroyed Wilson's reputation but himself.
Would be like saying Mike McCarthy ruined Dak Prescott or something.
Jets trade Wilson and 2 third round picks for Cousins
Don’t see the Vikings being ok with that package. They will be in for a nice comp pick just letting Cousins walk while also still potentially contending for the playoffs. An extra 3rd isn’t good enough and I don’t think Wilson has any value.
They are going to want a future first.
No one is giving them a future first round pick for Cousins. They aren't making the playoffs either. I think 2 3's would get it done 2 weeks form now if the Vikings are 1-4 or 0-5
When do the Vikings or rams decide they are going to throw in the towel? 2 weeks from now? 3 weeks? And what is the jest record then? 1-4? 1-5? And as a 1-4 team are you really going to go all in on going for the playoffs this year?

You’re right, no one is. I said it’s what they will want. They are already going to get a good comp pick so giving away a top 15 QB for an extra 3rd seems wildly unrealistic. Just go back to every QB trade over the last 5/10 years and this would be an absurdly low package.
In 2 weeks the jets could be 1-4, so why would they add a QB heading into another likely loss against the eagles before the bye? They also can’t afford his rental salary.
Jets signed Trevor Siemian.
That being said simmons and a few people have said this is the move to make for the jets so I’m sure the rumors will swirl about cousins and jets
They probably told him he either had to tweet that out, or he'd have to do the Ray Allen tweet. :-)

No, Wilson is on his own.
