True, you do have to prepare for that, but realistically since Trevor signed a 4 year contract and you can always exercise the 5th year option, you don't have to really think about it until 2024 at the earliest and in 2022 the Jags are projected to have at least $70 M in cap space.  

Just have to be smart with the cap space and not waste it on older players on the decline. I'd like to see some some home runs in free agency, like a Godwin or Gesicki.

The last thing we wanna do is tick off our franchise QB and make him wanna walk. If he continues to progress and shows to be one of the better QB's in the NFL as I expect, he's gonna want a new deal in 2-3 years. It's best to keep the QB happy. I've had enough of the disenfranchised Jags players that wanna leave. Let's try to keep this one happy. Franchise QB's don't just grow on trees.

By cutting talented players around him, because we can no longer afford them. Great plan, dude. Is that you, Trent Baalke?
