I'd definitely pick the Jags if I was a player (clown show, losing sponsors, no end in sight with inept management, blowout losses, no national primetime exposure,,,,,,, etc).

Sign me up!

41 - 118 are already enough to deter players that want to win actual football games from coming here.

That won't stop a player from looking for his first major breakthrough contract though. Money always talks the loudest at the end of the day. 

If I made a couple million dollars in three years on one of those 3rd - 6th RD contracts or made a name for myself as an undrafted player or late bloomer I am licking my chops to come play here. For two reasons. 

1. They're going to more than likely overpay me in a tax free state. 
2. If I don't produce here on a contract that benefited me financially? Guess what? I can cite everything you just mentioned above as to why I couldn't live up to said contract. 

I can then sign a new deal elsewhere after jumping off the circus sideshow act and pocketing a decent amount of money before rounding out my career in a better city and environment.
