Don't forget that with Stroud and Anderson in the same darft, they can only tag one if both play 5 years on the rookie deals.

Not sure if it was Hunter that wanted the shorter length or the tinhorns.

It's very unlikely (based on how he's played so far) that Stroud will ever get to the franchise tag.  It's being reported that Hunter gave the Texans a discount, because he grew up just outside of Houston.  I think the 2 year contract works in favor of the Texans, as it gives them the opportunity to fill the position via the draft down the road without having any contract overhead.  Getting Hunter in his last prime years (29 and 30) for a very reasonable price, is a steal in my mind.

for sure it is a steal. He should slap his agent in the face for not getting a better deal.

If it means we can point to that deal more than Burns' deal in negotiations with Allen, I'd say it's the best deal this offseason.

that right there is why Jags hardly ever have winning seasons. They let good players go,and  the player signs with a rivial in the division.  2024 Jags are not looking very good in our divsion. I can see us back in basement, unless mac jones becomes the starting qb.

Frivolously spending 92M on a luxury is why the Jags have hardly ever had winning seasons in the past.

I suspect he does as much for the tacks' chances for long-term success as signing Arden Key did last year.

I give him $5M and a handicap parking hang tag. Heck, I'll toss in a pair of crutches as a signing bonus.

Build through the darft, baby.
