Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

Caldwell will be on at 1:30 PM today which is in about 15 minutes. If you have a subscription this is just a last minute heads up. I'll try to post any noteworthy comments that are made.

He reiterated his approach to Fowler this year and Bortles last year which was looking into each of their positions the following year and not seeing much which helped them make the decision to draft each of those players that much easier.

 

Looks like SiriusXM NFL twitter is summarizing the rest well enough:

Deacon, stop!  My side hurts.

The video is up on the homepage.

 

 

...Oops! Looks like that video is not the SiriusXM version, but it is a Caldwell interview! So there's that...

I think most here understand this.  Getting him back isn't a guarantee that he's on the roster on opening day.  If he is eventually reinstated, he'll have to earn his roster spot.  This team has put a lot of time and energy into the WR position over the past 2 drafts.  He won't just walk back into a job.

 

But, on the other hand, they're not going to cut and run on him either.  If he's able to regain the talent that landed him here to begin with, they'd much rather he do that on this roster and not elsewhere.  It's a smart move for the front office to play this exactly the way they have despite many fans calling for the team to cut him and move on.

Hopefully he doesn't try to stagger or float back into a job either.
