DKs one of my favorite Hawks…but if he’s looking at $20M+, while we’re “in-between” QBs….hard to imagine JS going that route.
The FO knew we didn't have a top 10 QB when they refused the Jets offer of the 10th pick (iirc) in the draft. Clearly they are considering DK's ability to catch the ball and take it up field on the fly. This will be a case of paying the player based on his potential more than on his performance to date. DK is a beast and I've said it for 2 years now, he will ultimately, barring the unforeseeable, be the best WR in the league. I think we'll end up giving him 100 for 4. And I'd be fine with that. 2-3 years down the road, he will be a bargain at 25 per.
The only thing disturbing to me is that when the FO put the closed sign up on any trade offers, I sure as hell thought the two camps had some level of understanding ..a gentleman's agreement, if you will. I mean WTH, is this yet another Pete and JS **** up we're seeing here?
