Edit: Let me clarify, we all knew that the releases were to make room for him. But I'm sensing that desperation lol

Why?  Foles has no leverage in this situation.  He gambled on himself and bought his contract out before Flacco got traded, before Keenum got traded.  There is literally NO market for him to be a starter, unless he wants to come to Jax.  They will agree to disagree for a bit, but im sure the deal will get done in the vein of 15-18 mil per.

Honestly, it's just my gut feeling. I'm weighing us in general for FA; we always seem to overpay. I know that there's no real competition to sway the pricing. But I also feel like our staff might be feeling a little desperate with a "win now" mentality due to if they fail again this year, might be out of jobs. I'm not basing it on anything but my gut right now. I hope my gut is completely wrong and the 15-18 mil is the range. That would be great!
