Good lord... Some people on this forum are simply delusional. Trade Dak for 2 first round picks? Ok, I'm on board... Which team is offering the 2? First, any team that desperately needs a QB is probably already picking in the top 5-7 of the draft. So... Why the hell would they trade away 2 first rounders for a QB whose agent is wanting him paid among elites? Second, any team who is picking low enough to be able to give away 2 first rounders, is probably happy with the QB they have, and certainly doesn't want to trade 2 first rounders for a QB threatening to hold out if tagged. Then we have the group saying, trade up into the top 3 and get a QB . Ok, with what draft capital? I know, let's mortgage the future for a QB that might not even pan out. The most practical approach is to try and come to an agreement with Dak, keep the deal short like Dak wants, give yourself an escape clause, draft a QB to mentor while you have Dak, or bring in a veteran FA. If the new QB or FA works out better, trade Dak next year to a team willing to take on his existing contract when the new CBA goes into effect.
The Patriots may be glad to give up two firsts for Dak. They would get a 3rd for letting Brady walk in free agency.
