Quote:Why? What would your figure have been to make it acceptable?
Maybe his name is on the bottom of the check? Seriously? Why would he care...even IF it caused ticket prices to go up, it wouldnt affect him
I definately like the signing of Malik. Dave had him on his radar for a minute so he knew that he'd have to overpay to obtain him. Given the process of building the defense to match the offense, this signing was imminent to say the least. Or should I say it was needed. On the other hand i sincerely pray that he's an game changer along side of Marks in certain situations...

Just go watch the tape on him. He's a force. You don't become a top 10 defense of all time unless your interior pass rush and run stopping is elite. Von/Ware helped him no doubt, but he's a top level player.

Yes I did watch his footage and he has an awesome Bull Rush along w/PR technique. Yes we probably paid too much but yes we got our man...

Anybody else waiting for the inevitable nickname thread?
The anticipation is killing me.
That is an awful lot of money for a DT/DE tweener.
I hope he is worth it.

Jaguars sign DE/DT Malik Jackson (6 years, $90M; $42M guaranteed): C- Grade
Believe me, I had a very strong urge to give the Jaguars a Millen for this. By giving Malik Jackson a 6-year deal worth $90 million with $42 million guaranteed, Jacksonville has made him one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in NFL history. Jackson is certainly not one of the top non-quarterback players ever. In fact, he wasn't even a top-three free agent on the Broncos! He was fourth, behind Von Miller, Derek Wolfe and Brandon Marshall.
Unfortunately, I can't award a Millen here. The Jaguars have a ton of cap room and really nothing to spend it on. They needed to overpay to lure players to their team. They did so with Julius Thomas last year, and that didn't work. Jackson has a better chance of panning out, so the Jaguars deserve the tiniest bit of credit for effort.
Having said that, this is not a recipe for success. It's been proven time and again that overpaying in free agency doesn't work - especially when a particular player leaves a perennial Super Bowl contender and signs with a terrible franchise. Those moves have a very low-percentage chance of working. Making matters worse, the Jaguars will be asking Jackson to play in a 4-3 for the first time when he's always operated in a 3-4. Again, Jackson could pan out in Jacksonville, but his production almost certainly won't match his price tag.

This guy is a idiot. Thoma allowed us to have 2 thousand yard receivers. He had his most catches to in 12 games

"We paid too much" is kind of redundant in a free agency thread. Paying too much is what free agency is all about.
