Seriously, you're in for a treat if history is any kind of indication.

I feel like there's more screaming and crying involved, but that's a good start.
Free Agency, the Jags have the most cap room and there seems to be a lot of DL's and Safeties available. Signing players in those positions would a strong start in rebuilding the defense.

I agree that there are upgrades to be made on the defensive side of the ball, but I'd like to secure some of the guys here first too. ARob, Hurns, Bortles to name a few. To make a real splash in FA to upgrade will cost a pretty penny too though.

Ok, I am excited for the Olivier Vernon and Tashaun Gipson press conference the day after free agency begins. Happy?

Hurns is the only one of those guys eligible for a new contract since he was undrafted... I'd like to see him get a nice new deal.
ARob and Bortles have to wait til the end of year 3 before a new contract is an option.

That is not being realistic either. Chances are remote we get either of those guys, especially on the first day of free agency.

As a first round pick, Bortles can get the fifth year option on his contract.

And you know this based on??
Those two are actually probably the most realistic options.

I disagree, we are going to be major players this FA. Olivier Vernon and Tashaun Gipson will probably both be high on Dave's radar and he has the caproom to make it happen. I'm betting most big free agents will sign the first day of FA, especially now that they have that couple day period where agents can talk to teams before the FA officially begins.

It's almost a tradition for both the NFLN or ESPN to go on commercial break when the Jaguars are ready to pick. Like seriously, the last two years both networks went on commercial break during the Jaguars first pick

Yeah, I'm convinced if we had the 1st pick in the draft, they would find away to go to commercial.

Oh yeah I forgot about the days before free agency begins. But even with that, do you really expect to get those guys on the first day? Not everyone will be as quick as Zane Beadles was to find a new team. I am very excited about getting at least two, maybe three, major upgrades on defense through free agency. I just know realistically, we can't expect that to mean Tashaun Gipson will sign with us on Day 1.

They did not go to commercial breaks for Luke Joeckel or Blake Bortles.

[BLEEP] are you talking about? Chances are remote the Jaguars get Vernon? It's time for Corky's hiatus.
Quote:Prove it
If you can't remember that, you must have not watched those two drafts.
