MJD is on NFL Network now chatting about FA.

So a very early 2nd rounder AND making him perhaps the highest paid safety in the league (at least top 3)? I like Gipson a lot but that is kinda silly to me.

Quote:I'm 50/50 on gipson. I mean if your sitting there at 36th pick and someone told you "you can draft this X fs and he is a proven pro bowler at the NFL level" how could u not take him. I understand the 36th pick is premium pick and you never know who might fall to you there but can't get over the fact of getting something proven to be pro bowl talent with that pick
 

and correct me if I'm wrong, but Gipson is the same age as Cecil Shorts when we drafted him. He's still very young. 36th pick + massive contract though is steep. 

He's telling the truth...FA IS ABOUT $$$ not loyalty

If he was a FA; he would be paid the same. He's not, so the trade is for the pick. We extend his contract with the higher pay. Seems normal to me.

 

GO JAGS!!

MJD is going to make a very very good media guy, I was listening to him very closely just then. He's not some clown like Sapp.

Agreed
Buddy on the left took a shot at MJD.

 

MJD is too classy.

Lol mjd was thinking...did you even football bro? Lol
Ya MJD sounds good on TV

(@ryanohalloran) - #Jaguars represented today at the ol' alma mater's Pro Day (K-State). Tyler Lockett would be a good mid-round option.

Some can make the case that Arian Foster went from being an undrafted FA to one of the highest paid RBs in the league so...

Ya I know it's steep that's why I said I'm 50/50 on it. I wouldn't be mad if we did and I can understand if we don't

Same here. Im so torn bro.
If they really think Gipson is the answer then they have to go for him. He's the same age as some players in the draft and he could be a staple of the D for a long time.

Quote:Oh...my....God. I just looked and saw Gipson was undrafted out of Wyoming. The year after we took Prosinski. He couldn't give us a heads up?!?
 

After drafting Prosinski, the team was probably scared to even look at anyone at Wyoming.
I love how NFL insiders refuses to think or even speculate Murray comes to us "Texas has no state income tax" um....do these guys know about the state of Florida?

Exactly. But maybe with MJD getting in there, we could get some love. Maybe lol

 

GO JAGS!!
If we do land Gipson, is the Brown signing more for P/KR and depth?
