Why is it that the Jaguars will freely spend on other team's players (Norwell, Church, Gipson, etc.) but under the current administration consistently made their draft picks play out the entirety of their contract before being extended? Successful organizations (i.e. Saints with Cameron Jordan and Eagles with Carson Wentz) have made resigning their own guys a priority even with multiple years remaining on their contracts. Doing so allows the team to pay below what the players would get in the open market and gives the players security. The Jaguars are a poorly run organization, they consistently overpay for mediocre players (Donte Moncrief & Nick Foles), have drafted poorly in the 1st round (Joeckel, Bortles, Fowler, and Taven Bryan) and want to play hardball with guys deserving of an extension. Seems like a recipe for disaster to me.

The reasons you are wrong are twofold. 

A.  The Jags current highly paid free agent class all have contracts structured with "out clauses" that allow them to release those players with minimal to no dead money impact. 
Campbell, Bouye, Norwell, Foles, and  Hayden are ALL structured this way.  Campbell will be released to make room, but the proper timing to make that move is NEXT year. Not now. His impact on the field outweighs the current benefit of cutting him. Next year it likely becomes a necessity and he's unlikely to continue beating father time much longer anyway. Got to get the most bang for your buck from the player and his contract. That means keeping Campbell on the field in 2019.  

B. The Jags haven't had a significant number of homegrown draftees in need of resigning in a long, long time. Right now, they do have that happening. And that is a VERY GOOD problem to have. If means you've drafted well. 
There is absolutely no reason the Jags can't re-sign Ngakoue, Ramsey and Jack (if he earns it this year) between now and September 2020 and fully expect they will do exactly that. They don't need to make cuts right now to re-sign those guys.
