Quote:Jackson, Marks, Miller, Odrick ????


While all have some pass rush ability, none are the outside LEO pass rusher Bradley's defense relies on.


So Fowler and Miller are starters, and either Jackson, Marks or Odrick will be on the sideline.



Odrick was one of Caldwell's key acquisitions last year. If Jackson isn't a replacement for Marks, it makes no sense to spend $15M per year on someone who plays the same position. I guess this implies that Caldwell thinks (knows?) that Marks is done. That's a sad thought.

This is one big reason I don't like the move. Grossly overpaying is bad enough, but paying a player $15 million that will see a lot of sideline with Marks and Odrick eating into his reps seems like a bad idea.


Jackson will be the 6th highest paid non qb in the league. He's not even a top 50 player, let alone top 6.


I suspect here will be a lot of regret and second guessing on this contract at the end of the season.


Having said all that, he's a good player and for all intents and purposes a Jag now so I wish him the best and will be rooting for him.
