Bortles contract won't be on the booksat all  next year as it counts entirely this year. (Can't remember if the cap hit is 16.5 or 21.5 this year, anyway they didn't cut him with post june designation so the money is all on this year's cap)

Dareus has a 22,5M caphit and being released he will save 20M
Campbell saves 15M
Linder has no dead money on the contract so he either saves 8 or we can restructure him
DJ Hayden saves 6M
Marquise Lee saves 5.5 (with 3.5 in dead money)
ABry Jones has no dead money left so he would save us 4M

Of course we don't have to cut them all, just shows we can create a lot of space if we want.

Those are without counting the Smith situation or guys like Ryan who are on a prove it deal basis (he would count 6.2M against the cap next year but if cut saves us 6M) or guys like Bouye who can either be cut or restructured.
Bouye would save us 11.5M with 4M in dead money.
Even Fournette if the league rules that we had the right to void his guarantees can probably be cut saving 4.4M.

Lots of flexibility ahead anyway.

Exactamundo.

If you have a productive, healthy, firmly in his prime player at a premium position with no off field problems, at a position the Jaguars have always had problems competently filling, you retain him.

Lol, told you. The guy is delusional. Hey Yannick how about you at least finish top 5 in sacks before you ask for top 3 money?

He won't be re-signed this year, and if they do it'll be a dumb move if they give him top 3 money.

Now it comes time to pay someone who deserves it and they don’t know what to do?

Linder didn't deserve it, neither does Yannick. 

You do realize he was like #23 in sacks, right? he is not a top 10 pass rusher, period.

When you put him in positions to produce, he does just that,.

When he played with leads in 2017, he produced top ten sacks

Even with that, he was 3rd in QB hits last year.
