Quote:Yep. There is a very strong chance that the Jags wind up offering the most money to most or all of Trevathan/Jackson/Vernon/Osemele/etc. (like they did with Cobb/McCourty/Julius last year), and I think there's a solid chance they only wind up with one of them if they're lucky...like with Julius. I know that sounds pessimistic, but that's the reality when you consider how many other teams that are perceived to be better teams or in better markets or have more stable coaching situations that also have a boatload of money. 

 

In Randall Cobb's case, it was about wanting to stay in Green Bay, where he was very successful with Aaron Rodgers. The Packers wanted to retain him as well. Signing Cobb last year was a pipe dream.

 

We can be more optimistic about players like Eric Weddle whose teams clearly don't want them anymore. Danny Trevathan is in a "they can't pay me because of my teammates" situation, which helps us.
