This move signals the team is in full rebuild mode unless the goal was to clear as much cap space as possible to keep Yannick.  I guess we’ll see.  My expectation is that 2020 is going to be a complete train wreck that will require another complete staff rebuild next year.

I agree with all but the last sentence.  Campbell is an incredible human being AND a good player, and I'd have loved for him to retire a Jaguar.  We'll miss him.

Unfortunately, getting young and better requires some tough moves, and this is one of them.  At least the Jags didn't have to cut him, and were able to recoup some value with a pick.

I'm more optimistic than most about next year.  This is what good teams actually have to go through - figuring out which high priced players to keep.  If this means we get to keep Yan, then maybe it's worth it.  If this means we get to build an offense around Minshew, it's worth it.  But it does suck to lose Campbell.
