Quote:What cap issues? Have you looked at our free cap room? We are ditching a decent cap hit from JT too... Why would we offer Beachum the contract, if we didn't expect him to fulfill it? Who do we need to pay that our free cap space won't cover? Bortles is not a 20 mil/year QB. ARob is a serviceable WR1, not elite. Who are we going to pay over the next 4 years? A CB, 2 LBs, and maybe 2 DEs, we have nobody on this team worth a top $ contract yet.. You pay a premium on LT's, you have to. By the time Beachum's 4 year option is up, thats when you pay the Ramseys and the Ngakoues.

First off rockin your a fan since year one. I am as well. So mad respect.


However. What I meant is simply this?


Are we to pay an average guy in pass protection. And subpar guy in run support. A through the roof contract?


If you feel he is worth franchise tag money for lack of production.


You take the option. But at 17 mill and than 13 mill for Beachum?


Or something of that range?


Just because the jaguars have the money. Does not mean to blow it.


So no the contract did not benefit the Jags organization as a whole.


And MJW why would I have to use google again?


I know of all the sports outlets.


And we have a math guy on the board as well.


So the simple answer is Miami trade is more cost effective than Beachums option.


Due to huge amounts of guarenteed money. And the steelers knew that.



And why the steelers dealt Beachum to us in the first place. So that huge contract was off the steelers payroll.
