will Caldwell stick to his words about..

It's not so much as Caldwell keeping his word. I believe he will go after some key and vital players from this year's market. However, you have to consider the two below aspects.

 

1. Not every player wants to play for a big paycheck, don't get me wrong, a good amount do, that's normal of course, however, most of these guys are wanting to play on a team that wins and wins consistently.

 

2. Because of our poor overall records over the last few years you're more than likely going to have to overpay by a good amount of money to entice or bait one of those big name players to come here.

 

Again, it's not like we're not used to that from our history with players in the past. And, I do think Caldwell is pretty sharp when it comes to setting up these contracts. So we'll see how it shakes out. I still think Caldwell's philospohy is to build through the draft and add depth through the market. And I think he'll stick to that. This is it though. This is the make it or break it year for Caldwell and Bradley. Khan might give Caldwell a break and cut ties with Bradley if 2015 doesn't bode well but then you're really hurting this team overall no matter what you decide to do. New coaching staff in 2016 would now mean the third installment offensively for Bortles and a young offense as it already is that will more than likely continue to add younger guys through the draft. Tough situation man. This is going to be an interesting year for this franchise to say the least in 2015 and it all starts shortly with this free agency class.
