This is the price to pay for bringing in so many expensive free agents. Yes, we get better immediately, but it also forces us to make tough decisions regarding other really good players. This was no surprise at all. We probably aren't going to re-sign him, because it's just too expensive. We certainly won't tag him, because that's even more costly. The only real decision is whether to trade him and try to get a first or second round pick or to let him walk, and receiver a 3rd rounder as compensation. To me, this is a no-brainer. It would take a miracle for him to be back in a Jags uniform after the 2018 season.
