GO JAGS!!
I'd guess it's lowered than the reported 5 years/$45 million. Probably hoping their back to back Super Bowl trips could sway him to take less.

Wow, I never even considered it. Tweet it to Dave lol Does Dave have a twitter account? lol
GO JAGS!!
Saints release LB Curtis Lofton.
Quote:It's all about the $$$. Hopefully the Jags have set a limit on Thomas and stick to it.
I don't get this stance.
I understand the need for fiscal sanity, but...
1. Should it come at the expense of Bortles' development?
2. We have to spend the money ANYWAY.
3. Thomas represents a substantial talent upgrade.

With our immense cap space and no need to extend any contracts in the near future on our team, there's absolutely no reason to be stingy with money. This is pretty much the only time you can just throw money around and not really get in trouble if it doesn't pan out.

I'd take whatever is being said about what the Jags have offered with a grain of salt. Nothing matters until ink is on paper.

I explained in a previous post but I agree Thomas is an upgrade for the Jags. I just don't think he's an amazing TE, there are a lot of question marks with him and there is no reason to get into a battle with another team and pay more then you think he's worth.
Hopefully it doesn't come down to him choosing between Bortles and Wilson
Quote:2nd rounder for Gipson? Let's do it. Then, during the draft, we can trade down and get a second round pick back!
Its a bit more difficult than that.

All of the hand wringing on twitter. Goodness.
oh yes! SKUTA, man, love that guy

The
#<b>Browns</b> assigned free safety Tashaun Gipson a second-round RFA tender. With a shallow draft pool, wonder if someone will bite.
I'm starting to actually hope we do bite on this.
I mean if your sitting there in 2nd round with our hole at saftey are you telling me that you wouldn't draft him there, especially considering you have already seen him play against other NFL players? Only 24 years old
Apparently Skuta wants to get 10 sack seasons and become a pro bowler. Love this guys attitude and work ethic. Sign him.
I'm going to give Dave credit. They have been busy from the looks. All of this may not come to fruition, but he did try. That's all we can really ask right? I hope come tomorrow, we've got a some new talent to add to this roster. Is it 4:00 tomorrow too? If so, who the hell picks the times of 4:00? lol
GO JAGS!!
(I'm gonna take tomorrow off and sleep all day; wake up at 3:59 to check news. haha. My poor kids......lol)
