remember you have control of Darnold for another 4 years before you can re-sign him... Strike while the iron is hot now and get a high quality player for your future while Pats are exploding before your eyes...
Only reason i traded Conner is because i had barkley and elliot... I made a preseason trade to get barkley and Juju.... picked up Conner that first weekend of games and sat him and watched the Bell owner go 0-2.. he panicked so i cashed in...
