Quote:How dumb do you think FAs are? Like they don't know he will be gone if he fails this season? They're coming for the money anyway so when the Jags say "but look! We gave him anothe year!" It doesn't mean jack.


It's a dumb move that means nothing.

 

 

It means nothing, yet you and your doppleganger are really ticked off by the move.  Got it.

 

Quote:Isn't playing in the NFL about the money?  So on one hand, we say that it is players not plays.  And then we can go with coaching not mattering that much but somehow free agents won't come here if the coach is a lame duck?  Ugh.  I am really really appreciating the first 5 years of this franchise more and more.

 

Of course it's about the money, but if you've got a situation where a free agent has multiple offers that are pretty much the same, and it comes down to which coach he wants to play for, if he takes a liking to Bradley but realizes he's in the final year of his contract and at risk of not getting extended, he may look elsewhere.  At least that is the logic the front office is using.  Not saying I agree.  I would have preferred they wait to give him an extension.  They thought otherwise.  Either way, nothing has really changed.  If the team continues to flounder in 2016, Gus is done.  Doesn't cost me a dime more one way or the other.
