If it wasn't Watson, it was Mayfield, and if wasn't Mayfield, then it's Darnold, and if not him then Garoppolo, or Mishew or who knows who. All in all, unless the player comes cheap and requires no picks to be traded, the Hawks are just doing their usual due diligence in every case. They admittedly try to be a part of every discussion in an attempt to bolster their roster.
At this point I think we could speculate the team might attempt to trade for any other QB in the league, but frankly that'd be rank speculation in the absence of real news to that effect. One of the three QBs presently on the roster will be starting for the team when the season opens and none of Darnold, Mishew, Garoppolo, Dalton or any other QB not already here will be on the roster by then.
BT has it dead right, it is JS' job to discuss every option. Besides does anyone truly think the 49ers would trade Jimmy G to a divisional rival? If not and he becomes a UFA does anyone think the team would be prepared to pay JGGQ what his market value would be, or just rent him for a season?
The mania about the QB situation and potential replacements for the team is starting to wear a bit thin. Why not Mahommes, Rodgers, or pick a good young QB? The team simply isn't trading away early picks to acquire a QB and is looking to find their guy in he next draft, where they are well situated and have the ammo to find the guy they want to draft.
