Quote:I said all along we should have just signed Irvin over Vernon but Dave thought he could get Vernon and Irvin slept away, Irvin wanted to be here but we didnt want him as much, it sucks now we are scrambling 

We don't know what Irvin wanted. Yes he followed some Jags fans and tweeted random stuff about Florida, but some of these guys seem to play other teams to gain leverage. We happened to be the team with the most cap in the league.

 

Irvin is an OTTO, and I saw a statistic that we used OTTO on 40% of snaps last year. Yes he'd chip in as LEO, but I think that's pretty telling that paying Irvin 10M per would not make a ton of sense if we don't use that position much.
