Our own guys hopefully. New Engram deal, new Key deal, Allen extension and the incoming draft class.
Then we see what's left. Bring back Smoot etc.
Think its closer too 20m if griffin goes

Hopefully a pass rusher, second tight end and a nickel. At least from my point of view. Then focus hard on both lines in the draft.
Probably can’t afford the pass rusher.

Engram, Key and Seumalo from the Eagles, if available. He'll cost a fraction of what Taylor will make and is a better player. I realize good tackles are hard to find, but I trust Rauscher to find and develop one. McClendon Curtis has been mentioned as someone the Jaguars are interested in. They can likely draft him in round 3 or 4, depending on how he does at the Combine. At the least, he'd become a valuable reserve like Tyler Shatley, with the possibility of filling in at 4 positions. At the best, he'd develop into a quality starter at guard or tackle.

Not sure Seumalo would be cheaper than Taylor, because it looks like a handful of teams are seriously interested in him. But I would rather bring in a good free agent guard, than re-sign Taylor. Walter Little can step in for Taylor. But we don't have a solution at LG right now. It would be a good spot to fill in free agency.

Somehow I don't believe it is as easy as "step in". Also, right now with the three of them we are pretty good shape at tackle. We were really lucky injury wise last year. What weren't the Titans on their fourth tackle or something that last game?

Right, but if you're going to spend big free agent money, spend it in areas of need. Walker Little is starter quality. There is no starter quality player at LG right now.
Would love to see the jags upgrade the left guard.

I agree with you. My question is how come Little couldn’t beat out Taylor the last couple years.

Taylor may be better. But is he $10M a year higher cap hit better?
Why is the media still talking about Ramsey coming home? I guess it would make a nice narrative for them. Seems close to zero percent chance. He has likely lost a step and is overpriced, not to mention the attitude issues.

Hell you could go down the whole roster doing that.

He's not. Just something for people to talk about I guess.
No chance Khan let's Ramsey back.

From just an on the field football prospective I would love to have him. If we’re going to be in the playoffs for the next 7 to 8 years, we’re going to have to go through Kansas City.
I don’t think it happens tho.

Ramsey doesn't have 7-8 more years of elite play left dude.
He's a supremely talented CB but he is on the decline, he costs way too much money, and outside CB is not a need at all for this team right now.

He's been spotty at best. Especially in big moments. He got lucky with Stafford pulling that throw out of his [BLEEP] a few years ago in Tampa Bay. Otherwise he would have been remembered for getting roasted one-on-one with Mike Evans with Tom Brady and the Buccaneers going back to the Superbowl again.
We already removed this cancer from the team before. No reason to bring him back. He's still a diva at the end of the day. The same finger pointing [BLEEP] he did down here he's been doing out West in L.A from time to time. Let him end up in Dallas so he can be one of Jerry's boys and really shine as the diva that he is.

And they do! It's why they get paid the big bucks.
