In a salary cap, you have to think about age.  I am ecstatic that CC is playing at this level.  I hope he plays that way every day he is in a Jaguars Jersey, but the chances that he continues at that level at this age are slim to none.  Go back and look at 2017.  How many sacks did he have in the playoffs or the last month of the season?  35 is 35.  It is more likely than not that at some point in the next 24 months that we see a marked decline, and you have Ramsey (hopefully) and Ngakue that are in the primes of their career that are going to be looking to be PAID.  Their futures could be a decade not just trying to hang on for one or two years.

I agree with you somewhat but I think we can preserve him for later in the season by using Bryan and Smoot more.  And it looks like they may be ready to step up and play better, so maybe there's a way to extend CC's career.
