Both teams in the same division, one team is constantly picking in the top 5 and occasionally top 10, the other is racking up playoff appearances and division titles. Not really a competition.

one team went to the afc title game a few years ago.  the other team never been in it.

Doesn't appear so..lol

The guys they're getting rid of aren't really altering the W/L next year imo. They got rid of overpriced vets and LF is a non efficient RB who apparently has been an issue in the locker room who has been shopped dating back to last trade deadline.

I am mistaken haha, I thought it was a funny joke

Because of the numbers involved? Just curious. It surprised me, but I don't really follow the Jaguars closely...

He's injury prone and not really a receiving threat at this point. But yes, the cap number just adds to the problem.

He's a great blocker and was known as a key guy in the locker room but he didn't provide any impact in the passing game.

There isn't much behind him though, right? o.O

Chark, Dede, Conley, Keelan Cole, and they're expected to be in the WR market in the draft. They have a solid set of guys, just need another top guy opposite Chark.

Well, they're certainly in a position to draft a guy. But cutting Lee was the first thing they've done that I actually found to be a total head-scratcher. I mean, jeez, keep him there to provide something, right? Is there much promise in the rest of the depth chart?

Chark had a good season and showed some really promising things, but he's probably at best a #2 going forward. Maybe a good or even high end #2 if he can build on his performance, but he's probably not going to be a #1 ever. The rest of the guys are #4 type receivers. Maybe Dede bounces back and can be a #3 type, but it's questionable, imo.

But this is more about Lee, as far as I'm concerned. He's had had one year that you could say was a good, healthy year from him. And he was set to make $8.75M this year. Instead, they save $5.25 mil. It's not a ton of money, but they're also not really going to miss a guy that averages 430 yards and 1.6 TDs a year, either.

Dave Caldwell also indicated earlier he could see the team drafting a couple receivers kinda early and/or getting a productive UDFA as well. He really likes the WR class top to bottom.

Texans or Jags worse ownership?

The Jags are the reason Bill O'Brien still has a job after a lifetime of stupidity - he can always depend on getting the upper hand on Doug Marrone.

I do have faith that Shad Khan will do what it takes to get out of this - he'll eventually fire Marrone, bring in football people to make decisions and build a competent team and one day the Jags will be good.

Cal McNair? I'm honestly under the impression he thinks Bill O'Brien could fire him as owner.
