BobbyPhil1781 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 This will be one of the more interesting teams to watch this off-season IMO. They made great leaps last year. Anxious to see what they do to build on that. This will certainly help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterCallSaul Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Some of that cap is going to disappear with a Josh Allen extension, no? With that, the Jags are still lacking a true #1. I wonder if they go out and get an elite FA with that cash. Maybe they're a team to watch out for with the Deandre Hopkins sweepstakes? WR1: Not sure WR2: Calvin Ridley Slot: Christian Kirk WR4: Zay Jones TE: Evan Engram That's an absolutely loaded group if they bring in a #1. I don't think they NEED to, but it'd make them virtually impossible to match up against. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm them, I look to extend Engram and maybe go after Jamel Dean. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor wouldn't object to it though, I'm sure. I also agree that cap will be needed for Allen but it was going to be required anyway.

MikeT14 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Extending Allen and resigning Engram should take up a decent chunk of that. That said the rest was making room for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 There’s some talk Allen could be dealt this off-season, so I’m not sure about the “new deal” talk. Engram and Key extensions hopefully on deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Right now I think this is mostly to get them compliant. Pretty sure they were over the cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could make something work with almost any one player if they really wanted to, but not sure that puts them out there as big buyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Using big dollars for Josh Allen is a huge mistake, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Honestly, they probably need to roll some of this cap forward - at this rate, Trevor Lawrence is going to command over $50mm/yr, and booking multiple multi-year contracts now will lead to tough financial decisions down the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wouldn't go crazy with anything if I were them. But they do have a 2 year window of Lawrence on a cheap deal to try and get as many contributors as possible before his cap number skyrockets.

BetterCallSaul Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Jacksonville doesn't have a lot tied into future players though. By the time Lawrence is ready for a deal, they won't likely have a ton of fat contacts. Christian Kirk (could get out of it by then...will probably either he or Ridley) Travis Etienne (if they elect to bring him back) Josh Allen (if they end up paying him anyways) Tyson Campbell I think they'll be fine in terms of cap space. They have a lot of young players that will phase out the veterans making a lot of money right now. I think they stayed flexible for the future.

I’m not even sure of that much, tbh. Maybe he puts it together, but I view Walker a lot like Clowney - great athlete that isn’t natural rushing the passer. I guess I wouldn’t be totally opposed to doing something with Allen, even giving him the dollar amount he wants, as long as it isn’t long term. Not many pass rushers on the market, so he’s “valuable” in that sense, but a high end edge rusher, he is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
