Yall are putting words in my mouth. He is just eating up cap space while our drafted players deserve the money he's eating. He's not a Jaguar. He's a hired gun. Meanwhile Jalen and Yannick are and have been from the start. So after all of your babble I guess what you are saying is that free agents signed to a team don't deserve to be paid their contracts. The money instead should be held to pay draft picks that happen to work out. After all, free agents aren't "true Jaguars" they are "hired guns". Draft picks should all be "perfect and pan out as planned". Sorry, I would rather pay a free agent no matter what his age is if his production is worth it over signing guys on rookie contracts to lucrative deals. Three out of the the four veteran free agents that the team signed that you mentioned have worked out pretty well (Campbell, Church, Gipson) and the fourth should pan out as well since he is one of the best at his position (Norwell). Funny how you don't mention Bouye since he isn't a "homegrown" player, yet is one of our best players. Here's a newsflash for you. Draft picks don't always pan out and become "stars" or one of the best at their position in this league. No team drafts ALL players that are good enough to earn a second contract with their initial team. Many drafted players do end up in free agency and go on to other teams and become successful. There are also those that are released and never play again while still under a rookie contract. There is a balance between drafted rookies and free agents. Successful teams have been successful getting free agents (other team's players) all the time. Your example (the Eagles) won a Super Bowl with a quarterback that was a free agent (Nick Foles). There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
