<p class="">One reason why Alex Mack was able to command such strong guarantees? Multiple teams. Along with the <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Browns?src=hash'>#Browns</a>, <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Chargers?src=hash'>#Chargers</a> were in strong.

<p class="">Looks like we weren't go after Mack hard.

Darlington said we had interest in Irvin but has constantly mentioned Vernon more.

Never seemed likely, they're going after a guard and feel like Linder can be an elite centre it seems.

We are the Jaguars.

 

If we want a top player, we have to overpay for that player.

 

It's that simple.

Quote:I'm not saying to blow up our future cap and mortgage the future. We have tons of cap space and virtually all of our talent is still cost controlled. We need to sign the best pass rusher possible. Unless You'd rather roll with the same horse [BAD WORD REMOVED] defense we did last year + unproven rookies.


I thought it was just the head coach we had to change? What happened to that, Sparky?

I just rewinded that Darlington quote.  He basically said if they got their way "Vernon would be in the building".....

<p class="" style="font-size:26px;">Now that the tag was lifted I can finally say that there is STRONG mutual interest between Olivier Vernon and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

We need better players on defense and we need a better head coach. You can need multiple things at once you know.
