This can't be right.  $10 million per year for Zay Jones?  What am I missing?

I do NOT like this signing.

Had a major mental health breakdown a few years back.  Very scary.

Yeah that’s part of my dislike as well.  That and I don’t see a significant trajectory in his production leading to anything worthwhile here.

Zay Jones really turned around his life and Derek Carr constantly praised him and said he was the hardest worker on the team. We need guys like that. Very athletic player.

Looks to be 24 mill guaranteed.

Not really understanding this one. Too much money for someone who doesn’t really do much. I’ve seen a few big plays from him but nothing crazy. I guess this means ARob chose elsewhere and they panicked?

I'm guessing Doug Pederson was tired after a long day of signing players and left Baalke in charge while he got dinner.

"Hey Doug!  Guess who I signed and he only costs us $10 million per year!!!"

I don’t understand the infatuation with ARob. Felt like he didn’t want to be here the first time around and he’s coming off a putrid year and his best years are behind him. Does he have more than last year showed? Probably. But I don’t think he’s one of the top 20 or so receivers in the league and I’d probably be comfortable expanding that number a bit if I really looked into it.

Jaguars fans are loaded with sentimentality.

I’ve seen Zay make some plays though but I don’t think he’s consistent.

I just watched his highlights from last season. I don’t see anything special. I saw a good bit of poor quarterback play from Carr. But I didn’t see anything to me that stood out about Jones.

Did I see $10m/year for him?  Why??  I didn’t see anything more than a reserve guy.

$24 million minimum is a lot to pay for camp fodder.

The Zay Jones signing is the only one today that I’m scratching my head on.

Yeah, I don't like the Zay Jones signing but still a very good day.

I am a fan, not a cheerleader.

Look at us becoming buds!

Totally agree. Can’t let the Zay Jones signing takeaway from the good that happened today.
