Quote:I'm personally glad that we did not give those hefty contracts to either Norman or Vernon.  It's not like our defense would have been complete anyway.  I'm sure the Jaguars will make a significant leap in their performance for this year.  As far as the defense is concerned though, I'd say we are an additional offseason away from rebuilding it completely.  When the 2017 season rolls around, I'd say we will have rebuilt the team completely on both sides of the ball.  I'm anticipating a deep playoff push next year.  9-7 should be the goal this year.

You never really win by throwing all your money at good veterans at least Malik Jackson, Tashaun Gipson, Davon House, Prince Amukamara were all under 26 when they were signed in Jacksonville.

They still can be very productive for 5 years in the NFL, but Josh Norman had a fantastic Pro Bowl year last season but hasn't always played at that high of a level and is turning 29 soon.
