<a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2017/02/jaguars_tom_coughlin_is_making_moves_and_they_coul.html'>http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2017/02/jaguars_tom_coughlin_is_making_moves_and_they_coul.html</a>


From the article:


The Jaguars have about $71 million in <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2017/02/nfl_salary_cap_space_2017_giants_get_big_boost_jet.html'>projected cap space </a>now after cutting Odrick, according to Over The Cap. They are also now lacking a starting defensive end, and they have a pass rushing need in general.

There's a guy Coughlin knows pretty well -- Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul -- who <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2017/01/could_tom_coughlins_jaguars_steal_jason_pierre-pau.html'>could help the Jaguars out on both fronts</a> in a few weeks.

The Giants appear to be aggressively pursuing Pierre-Paul before free agency begins, and they have the franchise tag at their disposal. If the Giants do not tag Pierre-Paul, though, Jacksonville <a class="bbc_url" href='http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2017/01/could_tom_coughlins_jaguars_steal_jason_pierre-pau.html'>could pursue him</a>. They will have the financial resources to jack up the price to the point where the Giants (and other teams) might have to back out.

It could be a good fit for Pierre-Paul, too. He lives in Florida, he was extremely vocal in his support of Coughlin near the end of the 2015 season, and the Jaguars can give him the big-money, long-term deal he wants, with no state income tax to boot.


Marty not sure if you were quoting the article, but it sure looks like you copy paste this. Nevertheless, im not a huge fan of Jpp i believe his best years are behind him.. I do feel like if he did land here, he still would be a upgrade at thattposition.. He Definitly is better then Oderick... I just dont see the point in paying a end past his time with one hand, when you can draft a guy like Demarcus Walker in the 2nd and keep on trucking.. Oh and that is if Walker is there, he is a beast i expect him to go soon..
