Sam Darnold, New York Jets

And this is the other “most likely” trade target for the Washington Football Team.

The Jets are in major rebuild mode. They want picks. Sam Darnold has been a bad QB during his time in the league, but he is still very young and very talented. When Ryan Tannehill wore out his stay in Miami a few years back, he went to Tennessee, where he became a Pro Bowl-caliber QB. What do Tannehill and Darnold have in common? Both had their careers sabotaged by head coach Adam Gase.

Could Darnold see a Tannehill-like revival, were he to come to a more stable franchise and flush all remnants of Gase from his system? I’m willing to find out. Miami gave up a second-round draft pick for Josh Rosen, another recent high draft pick whose stock had fallen. I’d offer a third for Darnold, and go to a second if the Jets throw a Day 3 pick into the deal.
