Real Forno Show: Why a Mac Jones Trade Is ‘Bonkers’ + Jordan Addison Trade Value — Tyler Forness and producer Dave break down Vikings trade chatter, blasting ESPN’s proposed Mac Jones deal as an overpay in picks for an ill-fitting QB and arguing it would repeat a Kirk Cousins-style cycle. They discuss the weak QB market, possible Cousins vs. J.J. McCarthy competition and what it would mean for McCarthy, and why Kyler Murray is a poor scheme/price fit. They also address separating the Dallas Turner trade-up from earlier QB-related draft moves, and estimate Jordan Addison’s trade value using recent WR comps, concluding Minnesota should keep him despite off-field concerns.
