No big name free agents are gonna want to come here with Baalke still in charge and given the complete chaos of last season and even if we hit on every single draft pick we have, which is next to impossible, we don't have enough picks to cover every major need. There is optimism and then there is just fantasy.

If the Jags offer more money then they will come here. If you were to interview players from the 1990s and asked them if they are happy with picking a playoff team with a $5 million contract versus a terrible team with a $10 million contract, the answer is obvious.  Vic always said it’s about the money.

IIRC the full quote is "It's all about the money until it's not."
Meaning the guy at the twilight of his career may stop worrying about the commas in the contract and more about the chance of getting a ring before the body dictates time is up.

He also said "I wouldn't worry about that."
We've been (state) tax-free and Atlantic coastal for the history of this franchise, and those selling points ain't done dookie thus far, I'm not gonna believe that all of a sudden players and agents discover that we're some kind of hidden gem.

The arrow may be pointing up, but we're not a destination for players. YET.
