Insightful Article on Evan Engram

Let's see how the next three games go. If this team makes a play off run he probably comes back even if a slightly better offer is made elsewhere.

Culture changes things.

He's a lock imo.  He gets tag if no extension is agreed on

So per OTC, Franchise tag is TE $12,243,000 and Transition tag is $10,436,000.

That is pretty expensive for the franchise tag with the cap space issue for 23, especially if say Cam is out with an ACL and you have to bring back Taylor. 

I'd be okay with transition tag.

There is also the worry they may need to tag Taylor.

This is where your GM earns his money. Because you should be able to find a starter at one or two of these positions within three rounds.

I’d find a way to bring back

Engram will set the record for most yards in a season
Zay Jones has earned it
Agnew extremely valuable as an all purpose player
Taylor most improved Jaguar of all time
Wingard plays all special teams and defense

Flip flop the rest.

I see no way we franchise Both tackles and still have a hgh priced free agent in Scherff along the OL.
 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

It is an interesting spot they are in with OL money. 
I wonder if Scherff's giant cap hit the next two years could be spread out by extending his deal by one year?

I am leery about doing that.

I want nothing to get in the way of possibly extending Trevor Lawrence without getting him as much help as possible.

If that is the case, you'll need to be drafting plenty of OL, WR, and TE in the next two drafts. 

No other way to have "as much help as possible" and pay him league avg franchise QB money IMO.

Man, I hate our salary cap situation.

Basically it means we have to trust Baalke to bring in the help. We're bound to lose many of our favorite players over the next season, and I'm not gonna lie, it's gonna hurt emotionally. I guess we have to trust the process.... But it's hard to do that based on prior history.

I am with you.

I also hate it because the heavy reliance on free agency to fill holes invariably means we failed in the draft.

I'm fine with that if we get the picks right.

But th fact we've spent so much free agency dollars usually means out drafting failed to fill the position.

Becoming more and more important to the offense. Starting to look like he has to be tagged.

Here are the current TE contracts for the league:

Keep in mind, a new contract can be structured to minimize the cap hit in the first year.  But even with that, he's going to be very expensive.  But I think he'd be worth it.

He is looking very comfortable in this offense.
Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.

Engram needs to be resigned. He's come on strong, very strong, over these last three weeks. It opens up more for everybody offensively when you have to take into account his motion at the LOS and YAC ability. He schooled Gardner in particular on one play last night. Was smooth.
