Former Lions QB picks between paying Sam Darnold ‘50,000,000 bucks’ and Shedeur Sanders - Getty
Sam Darnold and Shedeur Sanders could be the best quarterback options for free agency and the NFL draft this year, respectively. Some teams, like the New York Giants, might need to choose between the two, and making the wrong decision could be costly.
On one hand, they could go cheap with Shedeur Sanders or they could go for the expensive veteran should he become available. While speaking about the Giants' potential situation on "Get Up," NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky gave his choice.
"Are you willing to pay Sam Darnold 50 million bucks? I would much rather have that than drafting," Orlovsky said [00:11:34]. "I think the question for the Giants is going to be ... Sam Darnold at $50 million, can you pry him away from Minnesota, Justin Fields, or Russell Wilson for 20-something million?"
