Danielle Hunter: 3rd round selection who has garnered 25 sacks in three seasons (although, only 7 last season as full time starter, 12 as a rotational player in 2016)
Earns 14 mil per year and a 15 mil signing bonus. Covering 29 of the 40 mil guaranteed through the first season. After season 2, he'll have earned all of his guaranteed monies so if he falls off after 2 seasons they can cut him for minimal loss.

I would totally give that deal to Yannick, although I'll say this... 
Our guy: 3rd round selection who has gotten 20 sacks in 2 seasons, more FFs, and has been a starter almost the whole time.
Yannick deserves more.

And a former first rounder (dante) who has all this potential but is marred by injuries and scheme fit questions..... I just don't see the Jags paying him 10mil a year plus... even on a team friendly deal that we could get out of.
I was a fan of the selection initially... but if he is hurt or comes to camp undersized I don't see the point of hanging on to him beyond this season. Smoot and Yannick, along with Taven, Malik and Dareus would still be a solid line for 2019 and we could add another young piece in the coming draft
