Taking their likely asking price into consideration, who would you rather your favorite team trade for, DeShaun Watson or Matthew Stafford?

Watson is going to require a haul but he's so good and so young, I would prefer him

Watson is an entire decade younger and has actually won in the playoffs. Stafford gives you maybe 3 more good years tops and more than likely won't get you a Super Bowl unless you surround him with all-pros on both sides of the ball.

Depends on what I've got in house, I guess. A team with lots of key pieces already in place, who wants to win now and make a playoff push, might be inclined to go for Stafford and not have to give up too much in return knowing that he's basically a 2-4 year rental.

Clearly Watson would be the choice but the price will be high.

Now, if you are a team that is solid, except at QB, Stafford might be a lower cost choice. Think playoff teams like the Saints, Colts, Redskins or Bears. Once they get healthy, the 49ers fall into that category. I think the Rams could be a lot better with Stafford.

Watson's been better since he came to the NFL and he's about 7.5 years younger.

Looks like 3, 1st rounders with one being a top 10 pick this year is the asking price.

if the Jets can get away with the #2 overall and their next 2 first rounders, I think I’d do that if I were them

they have another first rounder this year and a load of 2nd and 3rds, and Darnald will prob net them a 3rd or 4th

with the cap space they have, they can build something pretty quick

Jets and Dolphins both have a lot of draft capital where they can trade for Watson and still build through the draft. Outside of them, I say teams will be cutting off their nose to spite their face, giving up that much.

Keep in mind, guys on 1st contracts help teams stay under the cap.

I reflected on this one because Watson being younger and more mobile is advantageous, but Stafford also plays well and his demeanor has more leadership qualities imo.
Is Watson going to settle down and play football, or is he going to continue to think that a young 20-something deserves to choose the coaches, control draft picks and maybe even call plays?

Better than anyone in the Jets organization, maybe, but most teams have serious, mature football people whose job it is to make decisions.

That's a good point. From everything I hear, Watson is not a spoiled NBA type superstar, but what's going on right now makes you wonder if he could turn into one

Taters for me.
1)The draft ransom it will take to get him isn't worth it
2)He choked away a 24 point lead against the Chiefs
3)If 156 million dollars isn't enough to at least work with the people he's got, he just might have an attitude problem.

Well Steelers aren't getting either but if they would then it's Watson no question. I don't even see how this is a question.

Or management traded away his #1 WR and lied to him about taking his opinion into consideration for the new GM and HC.

No chance the Lions trade Stafford to the Bears.

They both play in the NFC North.
