Quote:He wasn't a free agent.  He was dumped by the Eagles and we claimed him off waivers.

 

I wouldn't mind keeping him around for the right money, if he can stay away from the stupid penalties.
 

I know how we got him. I also know getting cut makess a player a free agent.

This story along with Mojo wanting to return are products of Gus Bradley and his attitude.  It's infectious and will breed success.  I'm confident in that.  I would welcome back Babin with open arms with a pay cut.  He's been a good guy here and would be a nice role player going forward at a lower price.

 

Gus juice is working it's magic.

He only becomes a free agent if he clears waivers.  He did not clear waivers so he was never a free agent in between the Eagles and the Jags.

Look up waivers.  That's how we got him.  He didn't clear.

 

He was not a FA.

I want Babin to stay with the team. He's a good player in my book

He's a good fit for the scheme, plus he has only a few years of every-down wear and tear

With the stupid penalties and slowing down the only reason why I would even hence at bringing Babin back is for leadership purposes.

 

Then again Ball is filling that void pretty nicely with his stupid penalty yesterday.


Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.

The article is subscription required, but in it Babin talks about loving the Gus Bradley culture and his family liking the area, as well he hints at renegotiating to allow him to remain a Jag. All I can say is that I'm extremely impressed with the coaching staff and when guys like MJD and Babin express a willingness to play for you, I think it breeds long-term success. I would love to see Babin back, especially at a reduced rate.
What? Breeds long-term success?

 

We racked up a sixth-consecutive NON-winning season at week eight.

He totaled 7.5 sacks - 3 forced fumbles - 1 pass defensed - 40 tackles ( and about 5 stupid penalties. )

 

His salary jumps to 6 million next year  (from 4.2) and he'll be 34 years old.  

 

What do you think the Jags will do?   Pay him or let him walk?  

 

Keep in mind that the Falcons let a 34 year old 10 sack guy walk last year and he totaled 11.5 this year in Arizona.

Babin isn't John Abraham - but he might still be productive for another 2 years. 

( hoping for a contract re-do , myself )

Babin the Barber has been good enough for me to like having him on the roster. I am more concerned about Andre Branch. All linemen commit stupid penalties.

The last guy who had production like this was rewarded with a lucrative extension. I bet Babin renegotiates and comes back as a rotational DE.


LEONARD FOURNETTE FAN CLUB PRESIDENT. I WAS BEHIND HIM WHEN YOU ALL SAID HE WAS BRANDON JACOBS. QUIT HATING ON THE JAGUARS. GUS IS GONE. COUGHLIN HAS RESTORED ORDER. FOURNETTE IS FRED TAYLOR. DONT BELIEVE ME JUST WATCH.

I think we might find a cheaper 8 sack guy.

 

Did he lead the team in sacks?

He will need to take a paycut to stay, I dont think hes worth 6 million. I dont know my opinion. I think we will see him next year.

Don't think he would catch on anywhere else. I think he will be willing to take a pay cut. Really depends on when we take a pass rusher in the draft, but what do I know
