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.

Question:  I like myles but see alot of posters are down on him.  Do you think we should at least keep him as an OLB, even if he doesn't light it up in the middle this year?

His free agent market value will likely make that impossible financially. 

I think he will play better against the run this year and earn a large second contract with the Jaguars, but the Jags are wise to make sure he's going to take that next step.
