Houston releases Whitney Mercilus
|
I just read where the Texans are set to release OLB Whitney Mercilus. Given our complete lack of a pass rush, do we try and bring him in? I know his production has slipped, but he currently has 3 sacks and that's more than anyone on our team. I say if he will agree to a 1 year deal, why not? We can't get any worse.

He would be a free agent, and he could sign anywhere. So the odds of us persuading him to come here are pretty low. He'll pick a contender.
He's over thirty, hasn't had double digit sacks since 2015 (which was his only time) and pretty much owes all of his sack stats to getting to play the Jaguars over the years. I doubt any competitive teams even want him, and the Jaguars shouldn't spend money on convincing him to come here, anyway.

True, but I was just wondering if we should make an effort to sign him?

I doubt any competitive teams even want him, and the Jaguars shouldn't spend money on convincing him to come here, anyway. And with all that, he would still be our current sack leader. Our bar is so low right now, it's depressing. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

If he wants to come to Jax cheap just to have a shot at his old team I could see signing him, but I doubt that's what he wants.

He's not a high dollar player, just a little better than what we currently have, which is basically nothing.

But maybe we just give Smoot more snaps over Chaisson see if that helps our pass rush. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
