Quote:I think its both. In the past, the money might not have pushed it over the edge. He might have looked at Jacksonville's offer, compared it with Denver and decided to go back home to an established franchise even with the extra 1 or 2 million heading his way. Same with AJ Bouye.

 

But the money was there, and perhaps with TC at the helm, they felt that it would go in the right direction.

I agree.  My post was simply refuting the claim that he came to Jax strictly for the money. I don't believe that's true. 

 

I mean, in three separate interviews I've seen/read his answer to "why jacksonville?" is the same and it's:

 

A.  Coughlin

B.  Young ascending defense in need of leadership

 

So - wherever money fits into the equation in Campbell's mind - I don't find it naive to believe he was influenced by the reasons he actually cited as well.
