Poll: Can Trent Baalke Turn the Current Jags into a Playoff Contender?
What? No way in hell.
Doubtful. 2022 happened, so, maybe.
He's only a good HC and 5 new starters away. He can do it.
He c an do it. Not in one offseason though

Trent Baalke: 2025 Offseason Tasks

Build for today, not two years from today. Get guys who are going to yield results and get us in the postseason reliably. Use your cap room and draft capital in a way that makes sense - patch where patches are the best option, draft where value fits.

Last year was a double punch in the gut, we whiffed bad in FA and frittered away picks in an OL-heavy darft class, only to see the offense appear underprepared and for Trevor to again struggle through injury.

I'm curious to see who of the HC candidates will or will not work with him.  This could be a costly decision for Shad.


If you believe Pete Prisco and his source in the building - plus Shad Khan's own words at the presser a few days ago - potential HC candidates are being given input into not only F.O. decisions but potentially F.O. personnel changes. 

In other words - the right HC candidate could potentially suggest a change at GM if the braintrust are sold on that HC candidate. 

It's weird and convoluted, but if they want to insure they get all of the guys they like to show up to an HC interview, this is one way to do it.
