They are both bad in one on one coverage. Don't just make up [BLEEP] to try propping up a crap argument. The player who will play in front of Herndon on the depth chart is very, very likely not even on the roster yet. They want a guy behind him that knows the system. This is very normal practice - especially from a staff that preaches continuity like this one. You're being willfully obtuse about Herndon making 1 million more than vet minimum to be a backup. It is of zero concern to anyone in the organization. I guarantee it. Personally - I wanted the Jags to find a way to have better depth than both Herndon and Wingard, but you can't fix everything in one offseason when you're only one year removed from the #1 pick. Still building, still filling needs. Gotta choose your battles. You're choosing a bad one to nitpick. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

What a weird grenade to jump on.
Herndon is nothing more than insurance. He’s a veteran that knows the system that can give you 2 or 3 starts per year that can play nickel, dime, or outside at any time.
Unfortunately we can’t pay him 7 dollars and 13 cents.
Cam Fleming was apparently in town

And under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't care much because of how little his salary is, but when you have next to no cap space I don't see the point. Could have very well been the difference in us resigning Calais had we still had that extra 2m, and personally I think even at his age he would have been super beneficial to both Walker and Josh Allen even had he only been here for a season.

He wasn't on anybodys radar lets be real, coulda gave him the same deal with no gurantee and when he likely is cut prior to the season we don't have to worry about wasted money.

Also, not a big Wingard fan either.

Cam Fleming is 30 years old, 9 seasons of experience at both LT and RT (97 games and 58 starts), and affordable (played for 1 year $1.3m contract this past season). He would be a decent addition to a swing tackle role, likely better than a later round rookie if needed in a pinch next season.
Related to Herndon though, unless OTC and Spotrac are both wrong, how does he have $2.5m guaranteed, only $150k as a signing bonus, but only a $1.3m cap hit?

It's not - and you look silly trying. They offered Calais what they wanted to pay him. If they wanted him bad enough to offer more, they would have cleared more cap. They weren't in some back and forth bidding war. They made their offer and then the player chose a higher offer elsewhere. Didn't have a damn thing to do with Tre Herndon making peanuts to back up the NB position.

Over the cap says 2.4 mil guaranteed and a 1.3mil savings by cutting him prior to June 1. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

Anyone that thinks Herndon’s contract had anything remotely to do with not signing Campbell is clueless. But I already knew that. If they ‘needed’ money to sign Campbell they would have created the space.
As discussed already, what a [BLEEP] weird thing to get fixated on.

If they ‘needed’ money to sign Campbell they would have created the space. At least these are the discussions after a positive season. This has been a better offseason compared to the circus of names and hiring at the coaching level last year. I shudder to think of the discord if we had closed the season out poorly.

They are both bad in one on one coverage. Don't just make up [BLEEP] to try propping up a crap argument. The Jaguars signed Herndon as insurance, which means in the event the team doesn’t scoop up another CB. Another way to look at it is even if the Jaguars scoop up another CB, that CB is not guaranteed to make the team. He could get hurt, he could be a dum dum and not understand the scheme, he could turn out to be a terrible pick. The team knows what they have with Herndon and that is why they guaranteed his contract. If the team really wanted Calais Campbell, they could have got him by moving some money around. Herndon’s contract didn’t have anything to do with Campbell. $2 million dollar player on an NFL team is crumbs. It wasn’t that long ago Herndon led the team in int’s and PD’s. Quality backup that can give you reps as a starter in a pinch. Who also plays special teams.
We got Josh Wells back from Tampa. Solves our swing tackle problem for 2023. Thank goodness for that.

Wells isn't a bad depth signing.
Ended last year on IR. Does anyone know about his injury and recovery time? (04-04-2023, 04:43 PM)JagFanatic24 Wrote:Won't know until the draft finishes up. I still think he's a better LT than RT though. Would really like to see them dump Cam Robinson to a team post draft at this point to get him out of here. His cap hit sucks. As does his durability and play overall. He's not that good.(04-04-2023, 04:36 PM)Caldrac Wrote: We got Josh Wells back from Tampa. Solves our swing tackle problem for 2023. Thank goodness for that. I wouldn't rule out this team drafting a highly touted LT or RT with the 24th pick on the opening night of the draft just for that reason cited above.
