No way he's worth two firsts and a third. Maybe one and a third....

The Colts are a better option than most teams.

# more young talent
# good O line ( need LT)
# cap space
# 2 of the 3 members of AFC south are a mess.

I agree the Texans are a mess, but the Jaguars will probably be one of the most improved franchises in 2021. They have Trevor Lawrence coming and an additional 4 picks in the top 65. They also have a shitload of cap space.

Saints are an interesting spot that I was surprised I hadn’t thought of, except for that I checked the link that Chaka provided and the Saints are actually in the red right now in terms of cap space:

Panthers actually only have just over $7M in cap space. Poorly run team.

Stafford is a really good player who’s been stuck in a shit organization his entire career. Give him a solid cast of teammates and a good coach like Reich and the sky is the limit, IMO.

There are only three ways we get a decent qb. Free agency (almost unheard of for a qb who is great and has several productive years to hit free agency-we may have a long wait), draft (we are not bad enough to get a highly rated qb and moving up in the draft cost a fortune in most instances-more than a trade for Stafford) or trade (which is rare itself). Even if we give up two firsts it would be less than a probable trade up in the draft to get a top qb. I don't see any other choice, get the guy.

Do we theoretically have to wait until the beginning of the new league year before making the trade?

Does stafford have any choice? Maybe he wouldnt want to go to Chicago (as an example)
