Quote:Luke Joeckel - T - Jaguars
The Florida Times Union expects the Jaguars to decline LT Luke Joeckel's fifth-year option because it will make him easier to trade.
Joeckel became expendable when the Jaguars signed Kelvin Beachum to a one-year deal with a four-year option. Joeckel's trade value is at an all-time low, but the Jags will hope to get something for him before he inevitably leaves in free agency. If the Jags were to pick up Joeckel's option, there would be incentive not to play him as his 2017 salary would be fully guaranteed if he got hurt.

Seems like they are just parroting something O'Halloran mentioned over the weekend.
But that question mark adds a level of intrigue.
What's he worth a 5th round pick if where lucky?
If we got a 6th for blame gabbert. I think caldwell could get a 4th rounder.
I don't think they intend to trade him.
Anything is possible I supposed, but I doubt a trade happens until they've got a high level of confidence that his replacement will be healthy enough to take over at LT. At that point, he's expendable.

Exactly. Watch Dave get a 3rd and a property within the area for Joeckel to live in.
It would be best "block" he has ever made.

I think Luke has more value around the league than what's perceived on this message board, he's a former top 5 pick with all kinds of physical ability. I can see a team like Seattle trading for him, they have one of the best OL coaches in football (Tom Cable), their zone blocking scheme fits Lukes strengths as well, get him out in space to use his athleticism.
Can't see how/why they'd do it with Beachum coming off of a serious knee injury. Doesn't make much sense to me.

Right after Carrol compliments us, he trades for LJ, turns him into a pro-bowl LT with an evil smile on his face.
I don't think you roll into training camp with your hope at LT being a guy coming off an ACL.
That being said, if they got a 4th rounder for him.....
Joeckel and Bortles for Tom Brady. Chammmmppiooonshiiiipppp

Didn't we have zbs here for a while? I don't remember joeckel excelling under it?
This is the Jokes last year to prove it.
I am really hoping Beachum is ready to go sometime during camp.
We'd be lucky to get a 5th for him..
No one is going to trade anything significant for a below average LT who will be a free agent next year.
Honestly he's underwhelmed for a #2 overall pick, but it was an underwhelming draft so we can hardly consider him to be Tony Mandarich. (hindsight says draft Ansah and pay Monroe who we had at the time) we still shouldn't trade him though, especially considering his injury his rookie year, change in blocking scheme/coaching changes and we have to consider that it took Monroe about 3 years to become solid as well, a lot of people regarded Monroe the same way they regard Luke atm, i think Eugene is/was a better player but it does go to show that we shouldn't write someone off too soon, I think this is the "prove it" year for Joeckel, now that theres competition at his spot for the first time since his rookie year we'll see what he can do; i expect him to be given every opportunity, it's up to him to make something of it.
I heard the Marriott had serious interest in Luke for their front entrance
