Quote:After sleeping on FA espcially Ayers, it was good we didnt sign him to that deal. It needed to be a cheap deal really because he was gonna be a rotaional guy. He would most likely produce only 5-6. Is that worth the money he got? Espcially when we can draft Bosa or Lawson and get the same production with more upside.

How much would you be willing to pay the guy that leads your team in sacks? The 6 you're saying he'd have, would have done that last year for the Jags, if I'm not mistaken.

So, if you're willing to throw 13 mil a year and 52.5 mil guaranteed to a guy in Vernon that only has over 10 sacks in 1 year of his career and just 7.5 last year in 943 snaps. How is someone with 9 sacks in 569 snaps not worth 6.5 mil and 10 mil guaranteed even if he does only get 6 sacks? Odrick had 5.5 sacks in 879 snaps this year with a career high of 6 and he is making 8 mil this year. The only thing either of these 2 have on Ayers is that they are younger but if it's only realistically a 2-3 year contract, what does the age matter? If nothing else you designate him a post June 1 cut and spread out the extra money if you have to, which obviously we won't because it appears that there is a prize for being in the top 3 for having the most cap space every year.
