No thanks. I would consider giving up a 2nd round pick though.

If all it takes is the 19th pick, then I'm probably in on that all day. I just think it will take a lot more, and in that case I'm not interested.

#19 for Stafford? I'd do it.

[SunnySide]

Stafford is set to count as a 33M cap hit in 21 and 26M in 22. That has to be considered as a devalue for his trade value imo.

Lions are right up against the cap for 21.

Im not sure how many teams are in a position to (1) have cap space to make a trade work; and (2) feel they are 1 expensive QB away from competing.

The Colts are certainly in that discussion same as us. Good team all around, ready to win now .. just no QB.

Holy crap - colts have 68.8M in cap space next year vs our 37.6 (assumes a 175M cap but I think it will be in the mid 180s .. 175 would cripple some teams)

Sirius XM NFL Channel 88 just reported that the WFT is expected to hire Martin Mathew, VP of player personnel of the San Franscisco 49ers as their next GM.

Would Washington be interested in Wentz?

Yep... I think it's going to happen

So his 4 years in SF don't count? He wasn't the GM in Detroit when they went winless.

Martin Mayhew is in his fourth season with the 49ers and second as the vice president of player personnel. He spent the previous two years (2017-18) as the team's senior personnel executive. Mayhew joined the 49ers after spending the 2016 season as the director of football operations/special projects with the New York Giants. In his role with the Giants, he worked all aspects of the salary cap, CBA compliance and player contract negotiations.

Prior to his time in New York, Mayhew spent 15 years (2001-15) in the Detroit Lions organization, including the final seven as the team's general manager. Taking over as general manager following the team's winless season in 2008, he aided Detroit's ascent to a 10-win season in 2011. Mayhew was responsible for the draft selections of Pro Bowlers QB Matthew Stafford and DE Ezekiel Ansah, as well as 2010 AP Defensive Rookie of the Year DT Ndamukong Suh, who was selected to four Pro Bowls as a member of the Lions. He was also responsible for signing WR Golden Tate and S Glover Quin in free agency, both of whom went on to earn Pro Bowl honors in Detroit.

Why hasn't he had a job in the past two-three years as a gm?

Because he was a VP of player personnel?

Pretty common for guys that were at that position who took gm jobs. Let's see what happens when we start losing again lol.

Losing again?

We've been losing for a while. We've had 5 winning seasons in 20 years...
