Patriots quarterback hunt: What should Pats give up for each QB on trade market?
This figures to be a chaotic offseason for the quarterback position. Lots of QBs will change teams and there’s a very good chance the Patriots will find themselves a new starter.
There will be free agents out there — Mitchell Trubisky, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andy Dalton, Jacoby Brissett, etc. — but some of the most interesting names would require a trade. So here’s basically every QB I can think of who could end up in a trade (including QBs in the draft for whom the team might need to move) and what I’d be willing to pay for them if I’m the Patriots.
You’ll probably notice a lot of these prices, such as those for Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson, are low. Why? Because the Patriots can’t afford to trade a ton for a quarterback. As such, the only way they’d seemingly be able to trade for one of them would be if the price was a lot lower than what we’ve speculated for the players.
This is absolutely not a “Here’s what these guys will cost” list. It’s a “Here’s what the Patriots should be willing to pay for these players” list. So you’ll see a lot of these prices and think, “Well then, they’re not going to get the guy.” Correct. In most of these cases, they simply aren’t in position to do so.
