Hold onto him if we're not getting anything better than a 4th.

If NFL teams do not value him more than that then how much would they be willing to pay in FA?

WORST CASE SCENARIO - IF we have the money, I'd even consider franchise tagging him for next season.

McCown Gone ($10M goes away)
Darnold Rookie Deal (Approx. $7M Cap hit in 2019)
Teddy B. Franchise Tag (Approx. $23M)

That would be $30M spent on the QB position which is about what the Vikings are spending for Kirk Cousins, Trevor Siemien this season (2018)

Jets are currently at $21.5M for the 2018 season (McCown $10M, Bridgewater $6M, Darnold $5.5M).

Not a bad worst case scenario - I would be concerned about the reactions to the backup making more than the starter, but spending ~$30 million on QBs isnt horrible.
