Jags significantly under the minimum 89 percent cash spending required by next year

#87

Quote:Okay, what Dave said sounds logical, however, as I understand it, by rule we cannot do contract extensions for the 2014 draft class (Blake, Telvin, Allan Robinson) until March 2017, but also by rule, we have to reach minimum spending levels by March 2017.   At 12:00 AM, March 1, 2017, we get penalized, but we can't sign Blake's extension until 12:00 AM, March 1, 2017.   I don't see how we can beat the clock on the penalty by extending current players.   Because outside of our 2014 draft class, whose extension would use up any significant amount of cash? 
 

 

So you're thinking we can't even use the potential extensions for Bortles, Robinson, Linder, Telvin and Coleman to reach the cap floor in time? This is interesting if true, although it directly refutes the report mentioned in the reply directly above this one.


 

Hurns may be in for one fat contract this offseason in lieu of just getting a first round tender RFA contract.


 

 

Extensions are not, I have to think any answer will involve pricey new free agents. It is starting to look like Alex Mack will opt out, and the Jaguars are being reported as a front runner in the Von Miller sweepstakes. Landing these two with possible league record contracts will go a long ways toward reaching the floor. Hopefully other top free agents, including Miller, are not tagged giving the Jaguars a shot at them.
