In other news: Tony Bosselli stated on the radio this morning that he would be willing to trade a 1st and 2nd round draft pick AND Fowler to sign Mack.

The only thing that works is a straight swap and a late round pick. Then don't sign him and make sure he plays out the year in hopes of winning a superbowl. Then he can sign a massive deal elsewhere.

If the Jags could, put in the deal or 1 year restructuring that they won't franchise him.

This is dumb. We could find our replacement for Dareus and Gipson in those rounds next year. We don't need a superstar, we just need to keep adding starters in the draft.

Not dumb. Dareus might agree to renegotiate his current deal to free up some money. He is part of a rotation, not a high impact superstar. Ronnie Harrison will eventually slide into a starting safety role. 

What probably hinders a trade is the value of a Jacksonville first round pick. I project the 2019 #1 will fall in the 25-32 range. That's a low value first rounder, for sure. Same for the second round pick. 

The Jaguars might offer their 2019 first and 2020 first round pick along with swapping Dante Fowler, Jr. Having two firsts in 2019 and 2020 allows the Raiders to package two in order to move higher if they want. Plus they are getting a player in Fowler, who fits the outlaw character profile traditionally sought by the Raiders.

If it were me, I would offer Oakland next year's first round pick, Dante Fowler, Jr. and a considerable amount of cash. Probably ten million. I think Reggie McKenzie has hinted the Raiders organization is hurting there. A infusion of $10M may be a much stronger inducement that an additional pick.

If Mack expresses displeasure with the trade, and now with the Jaguars holding exclusive rights, I would slap the franchise tag on him and see how long it takes for him to show up. In other words, use the franchise tag to cut through the distraction.

Cash! Yes!

Because the NFL works like MLB.

Man, why didn't I, or any NFL GM for that matter, think of this sooner?!?!

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

I have seen some fantastic ideas on the board before.

This isn't one of them.

We can't pay Yan and Mack.

So do you ship out your homegrown talent, a guy that's done everything asked of him, and maybe our hardest working player for another mercenary? Doesn't send a very good message to the players.

Also, if Oak doesn't want to pay Mack, why would they want to turn around and pay Fowler?

They will pay Fowler a year and dump him on the street for us. The Jaguars are largely built with free agents dominating the roster. This sends a perfectly clear message to every player. Fool around and get suspended. Lose your job.

Fowler has failed to live up to the Gainesville hype.  He appealing only because he's being protected by the local media, which traditionally treats Jaguars fans with contempt and openly acts as career placement specialists for the University of Florida football program.

The reality is Fowler is Derrick Harvey 2.0. And BTW, Taven Bryan? Anybody bold and defiant enough to go behind the backs of the local media in order to investigate Bryan will know he spent a lot of time on the ground while playing for the Gators. What is up with that?

You're whack. Every take you have is so dumb.
You're trolling so hard Stevie Wonder can see you're a troll.

Are you saying that cash can not be used to complete a NFL trade?
