Now Ballard has to go overpay for a mid tier QB like Derek Carr or go into free agency and gamble on Jameis Winston or admit you're passing on the season by bringing in Teddy Bridgewater (this would apply to a trade for Jimmy G as well). That is not how his seat gets cooler.

irsay is smart. he may be fine eating a year to get a high draft pick to secure a long term QB.
