Quote:I agree with that.   We gave him a contract that gave us a chance to land him, not a slam dunk, because we have to live with that contract if they don't match. 

Exactly.  All reports indicate the Jaguars are looking at this as a 50/50 prospect.  They're not thinking slam dunk at all.  They're also not willing to put the team in a hole that could damage the build process currently underway.

 

It's the best deal they could put together, and they put a lot of time and effort into it in the hope that Cleveland would think twice.  We'll see how it plays out.
