Quote:Any big name FA is going to be mentioned in the same sentence as Jacksonville and/or Oakland, if nothing more than the fact we're among the teams with the most cap room.

 

Hope it's true that we've got a chance.  But if not him, I do expect at least one if not a couple big names signed just because we've got the firepower to go where some teams can't.

 

Of all the possible targets, he makes as much sense as anyone because he's the best at this position, and still relatively young compared to what you're used to seeing on the market.

 

I'm really skeptical that he'd leave Detroit.  They've focused a lot of energy on getting a deal done with him.  If they don't, then the Jags are certainly a team with the resources to bring any player including Suh into the fold. 

 

There's no argument that he'd be a huge boost to the defense, but the contract he'd command is going to make it such that there need to be a whole lot of guarantees in there so that we don't wind up paying for past performance while ending up with Hugh Douglas at the end of the day.  He's young, and should be able to play at a high level for a few more  years.  But, there has to be some incentive in his deal to assure that he's not just vacationing here. 

 

Again, I remain skeptical that he'll even be available when free agency begins.  But, if there's a way that happens and the team can get the right deal, go for it.  Nasty players on your roster are always tolerable.

 

On a side note, when has LaCanfora ever been right about something Jaguar related?
