I would like to see him back with us. He plays with attitude. Everyone involved knew that contract wasn't going to fly. The market will set his value.

Seems like he actually (GASPS!) likes living in Jacksonville.

Quote:I don't think he's coming back. I also believe hovering over players and what's in their wallets is the exact thing free agents try to avoid. It is also the sort of decline you expect to see as a franchise sinks lower and lower like a ship that just hit an iceberg.
We need guys like Babin a lot more than they need us.
Remember Jason is not 4-12 now, the Jaguars are.
There's a small chance that he will return, but more likely he'll get a deal from a franchise with more class.

You fail to consider the facts.
Babin said he was willing to take less money to stay here. Now, he's G-O-N-E. He is a free agent and unlikely to ever play another snap for the Jaguars. As others state, his decision to void his deal means he was one step ahead of being cut by the franchise front office. He is now a free agent. The comprehensible fact is he is no longer a Jaguar.
A nice way to save face is to ignore what just happened and claim the door is open. A few days later and it all blows over real nice-like.
The facts are:
When the Jaguars were reaching the AFC Title game in the mid to late 1990s guys like Jason Babin were the norm here. Now they are the exception.
Babin lived up to his contract. He was productive and gave us a reminder of how it used to be. He has provided us a reminder of what a real NFL player is. We felt honored that he was here to play for us.
Wish Jason the best, but understand this simply is the same slashing action the Team Gene Regime used to create the problem (when there really wasn't one) in order to justify the solution they though they had figured out.
