A big year from him, IMO, would make a re-signing riskier - not easier to make for the Jags.

I'd rather keep drafting.  I like him, I just don't think he's worth extending for what we'd likely pay.

Agreed.  If they don't get an extension ironed out before the season starts, and he has a monster year, this team will most likely let him walk, unless there's a dramatic step back in the play of Campbell and/or Jackson.  One thing we've learned about this front office is that they set a value on a player, and they don't deviate.  If it looks like he'll wind up getting more in free agency, I don't see them bringing him back.

I’d be inclined to agree. 

My only concern is that is literally took us ten years to get a strong pass rush. With Campbell most likely gone in the next couple of years, do we risk letting go what may be our next fantastic complement to Yan? The draft is a dice roll, again, going back to our ten year drought; how many pass rushers did we draft and or sign in FA and never worked out? It would be a tough decision for sure. That’s why I’m glad I’m not in the front office
