After the seasons over do you think we'd be able to unload EJ for compensation?
It's tricky because while they're not what they used to be he still has a first round contract. Also, is it worth trading him?

nope.
zero value.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

With the new CBA his contract isn't going to kill any teams but quite frankly he's more valuable here than anywhere else.Originally Posted by The Doc

It's not tricky at all. We would have to pay someone to take his contract off our books.
Yet we'd have to replace EJ which despite what some would say, to me, is no easy task. As he's the list of UFAs to be. None of them really have EJ's upside and doubt we get any them as cheap as EJ is getting paid. You could make the argument for Locker but I don't like his accuracy and inability to stay healthy.

Most of the guys on this list are unacceptable. I am not sure how Manual is going to respond to his current situation that certainly is a tale that needs to be told. However, we need QB play this is not about money or draft picks. If Manual is going to play the way he played this season he certainly needs to be replaced. I hope he wakes up and watches Orton sling that ball around and decides to put some frigging zip in his step for cripes sakes!
Light either comes on and we have a future QB, or it's next draft and we have no first round pick where other people do. If the light never comes on, he'll be riding the pines here until his contract runs out.
No there isn't anything of value he offers on the trade market. Guarantee somebody would pick him up if we cut him however.
COMING SOON...
Why can't he be the backup for 4 years?

EJ was 2-2. For a back up, that's pretty acceptable.
he also looks pretty dialed in during the games. he was fist pumping the win in some of the replays after the TD. He seems like a good soldier, we have him for a couple more years and he always was a project QB.
i think you want to keep him until someone unseats him. if we draft another guy and he outperforms EJ, then ej gets moved or cut. otherwise, no need to establish another hole on a team that his having a lot of holes created by injury.

The trade value is a 6th or 7th rounder. Blaine Gabbert went for a 6th rounder.
I'd take a 6th with some crazy conditions for a "conditional 4th" to make it look better for the organization...
We would have to trade a higher pick to get a decent backup.
Why would we take a 6th only to spend a 4th on a replacement?
Marrone is most likely hoping he could trade EJ for Nassib straight up.
I still think EJ may develop into a decent qb given time.
The Doc never liked him, hence, the gratuitous negative EJ thread.
After the Atlanta game I gave up on EJ.
I think you undervalue his trade value. He's young, relatively healthy, and has NFL experience. The problem is that nobody will want his salary, but I think if he should take a pay cut that he'd make lots of teams a fine backup. The problem is that so would Kyle Orton.
I thought this was a rhetorical question!! Lmao!
6th or 7th rounder.
Young NFL QB that some team may think they can take a flier on and groom.
The one where Chandler and Stevie fumbled?
Don't know how old you are. I remember when young qbs "matured" for three or four years before they were actually asked to start.
It's a different game now, but I still think EJ has potential.
Also, he's such a good kid, I'd like to see virtue rewarded. Doesn't seem to happen much in this world, but I'm going to root for him, regardless.
