I’m not paying Sam Darnold 50 mil when I can have JJ on a rookie contract. Sam Darnold has been in the league for a while and finally put together a great season. If I am Minnesota, I tag Darnold and look to trade him.
If someone offered me a rop 10 pick for JJ that would be tempting. I'd probably play it safe, franchise Sam, make him prove it for another year and stash JJ just in case. I'd definitely want to know what KOC wanted to do before I'd make any decision.
Look on the bright side Saquon, you and Dickerson both had 16 games and you lost!! End of story. Hopefully they put an asterisk next to these records and games played.
