Jags are fine here. They can cut 5 players and get to $50 million in cap space. 4 are injured and only 1 made a questionable impact this year (Dareus). Only difficult cut in the 5 is Calais, but he just isn't worth $17.5 million when he would be a part-time rusher on non-contending team. (Age just caught up with him.) And that is before trying to restructure guys like Linder, Norwell, Bouye, etc. 

True they cannot sign a big name player, but that shouldn't be their targets anyways. They diamonds-in-the rough and overlooked guys who fit the new coaching staff schemes. Consistent good defense is typically due to good schemes and preparation. You do need some elite defensive players, but it is rare to have more than 3-4 studs.
