All of the people losing their mind "OMG WHY WOULD WE TRADE DEPTH NOW THAT WE HAVE IT!?!"....


Hate to burst your bubble, but that Jaguars are going to have to cut a couple dozen players....*GASP*.....Now just imagine that maybe one of those players you are going to cut could then be traded for a 6th round pick...Isn't that worth pursuing?


I know it is probably confusing to most Jags fans, seeing that we have good players that will have to be cut, but this is somewhat common for teams that don't have absolute dumpster fires for rosters. Teams get deep at a certain position group (Jags Dline) and thin at others (Jags Oline). Whether you like the depth at Dline or not, some of the Dlinemen on our roster are going to be saying goodbye. You either get compensated for them leaving or not.


"WHY DO THEY WANT TO TRADE AWAY ALL OF THE GOOD PLAYERS NOW THAT WE HAVE THEM!?!"


Never mind...

Thing is, we wouldn't be getting anything good in return. DC is a master when it comes to trades, so maybe it is possible. But i doubt we get any good OL for Marks, Bennett, or Alualu. And Caldwell won't give up a high draft pick for a good one.


OL play across the league is pretty bad, so I think we will just have to play this season out with the guys we have. Maybe we will be suprised with atleast a competent run blocking offensive line.
