Quote:Just to put a reference point out there...  JJ Watt signed a 6 year $100m deal, worth $16.7m per year.  Mario Williams deal in Buffalo was worth $16m per year.  I realize if you want Olivier, you will need to overpay him.  But, $17m per year seems slightly excessive.  For roughly the same amount, you can likely sign Mario Williams ($10m/yr) and Tashaun Gipson ($7m or less/yr).   
 

If Watt would have hit the open market, he would have easily made $20+ million per year. The bolded part is a fair point though. You do get to the subject of diminishing returns when you're paying a particular non-QB that much money.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
