Injuries is different from saying he wouldn’t give major effort. Makes no sense for Jacobs not to give maximum effort in a contract year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely don’t agree with that logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I’ve said many times, it’s not all OL. Teams figured Jacobs out after his rookie year. He’s slow as heck so LB’s can be more aggressive with him. Jacobs is still solid, and should have a good year, (drafting him in some fantasy leagues) but he is definitely not worth a second contract. He’s good, but nothing special in any realm of the imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darbsk Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I get that we probably just went with BPA on our board in the 7th but another RB seems superfluous. It's not as if he was a highly regarded prospect that fell. I honestly don't know him so he may be good but I'd feel more comfortable taking a fast CB with some tools we can mould or a raw RT to compete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many guys have we seen that have already been banged up that decided to ball out and risk injury for a team signalling in giant red letters "We're not bringing you back"? He knows he's not coming back and what his injury history is. Why risk getting hurt (again) and not getting jack on the market when he can just half *** and get arguably the same deal? Looking less effective while preserving one's body > getting hurt and losing money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams aren’t going to pay players like that. Makes no sense for Jacobs to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's slow, one-dimensional, often injured, lacks elite traits. The only way he's getting paid much more than a near mediocre to minimum deal is to actually be able to play....which he wouldn't be able to do if injured again. If he were looking at a huge market, different story. But he's not. He'd have to go full Derrick Henry to warm his market up, and that ain't happening.
