TJ Yeldon - His last year as Jag?

#21

I could see Ivory accepting a smaller contract to stay, he looks to be enjoying his football, less workload but more success playing the 1-2 with Fournette.

I'm fine with the trio we have now, Fournette, Ivory and Grant. If Ivory leaves after the season, we can draft a RB in the later rounds. Yeldon should just move along.

Yeldon types are a dime a dozen. '02 is right, nobody's giving up a pick for that guy. An offensive lineman with that 2nd rounder may have been a better choice with Marrone coaching him up under Coach Sprink.

Tell that to the Eagles, Giants, Redskins, Seahawks, and Ravens. He'd be the most talented RB on any of their rosters

Can we trade him to the Eagles?

Yeldon isn't and has never been on Blounts level

Unfortunately, the Indy GM already traded a 1st round pick for another Bama Bust RB in Richardson so I don't think he's allowed to pull the same idiotic move again per the NFL Bargaining Agreement

If they don't scheme him into the gameplan at some point -  Yeldon will eventually see the field due to another back getting dinged up a bit.

I'm glad he's on the roster right now, active or not. I think we'll need him this year eventually.

I think he will see some time at some point this year but I doubt he will be on the roster next year unless he dont look like his old self

It all depends on his productivity when he sees the field. 

If he continues to attempt his poor-man's Leveon Bell impersonation and dances around too much behind the line, he could conceivably play his way off the roster.  
But if he makes some decisive cuts and gets upfield quicker, then I see zero reason not to keep him around. He's under contract in 2018 pretty cheap. 

They'll definitely continue to add better run blockers to this O-Line next offseason and that will only help the depth RBs like Yeldon. 

Now, he could still be beat out in camp next offseason, but I don't think they just move on before giving him that chance.

No, he wouldn't.

Yeldon has another year on his 4 year deal, at $1.2m base salary. He'd only be a $600k savings if you cut him at the end of the season, as he has about $600k dead money. He's a good utility/backup RB, and knows the system. I think he's got another year on this team, unless someone trades for him (which I doubt he would have much, if any, trade value).

You know things must be good in Jaguars Land when the top subject of discussion is T.J Yeldon.....

I'm glad we don't have bigger problems to worry about. We've had a series of catastrophes for seven years, so no complaints here about the subject matter.

All for keeping him for insurance as long as he isn't a financial burden.

I really don't see anyone trading for Yeldon.

Simply put, he's on the roster to start next year's training camp. Beyond that it's anybody's guess if he makes the top 53 for 2018.

No, he wouldn't.

Actually, he would be.

Blount has been garbage everywhere outside of NE. There's a reason he signed for only $1.25 million this year

He has only averaged under 4 yards a carry once in his 10 year career.  Last year had 18 TDs and almost 1200 yards.

I thought his first two seasons in Tampa were pretty good. And his production in NE can't just be conveniently ignored.

He signed cheap this year because he's a 30 year old RB. That's the type of contract they get nowadays.

His value is pretty low given our current stable of backs. He can do just about everything at an average level. My guess is we won't see much from him barring injury.
No pain, no gain.

What in the world has Yeldon done to be ranked ahead of anyone at all, he's our 4th string RB for a reason.
