Click the Dead money link. It shows the scenarios.

Oh ok.  I think we cut Scherff and keep Cam if Cam continues to play the way he has this year.  Would love to get Little in at RG.

---

Cutting Jenkins post June 1st would save us 9 mil.  Both Scherff and Jenkins have been good players for us but both would save us 25.5 mil.  Thats enough to sign Josh Allen and some and could also keep Cam and tag Ridley

---

I like Jenkins but AJ or Dewey could fill that spot.

It would be 10.5 mil in dead money but would save 25.5 mil cutting Jenkins and Scherff post June 1st

I agree with most of what you say...  But Scherff isn't it anymore.  He was a good pick up last year.  But he's injury prone and he's not effective anymore.  He's clearly trying to play through a messed up bum high ankle injury.  He's gonna be cut.  

Cam, if he continues to perform should be kept for at least another year.  

As for the Defense... Man, we have so many ballers.  We're gonna have to pay some of them and maybe let some go.  But I don't think that's anything we need to worry about for another couple years.

“An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

Scherff and Jenkins should be easy decisions to cut due to salary cap savings. Both can be replaced without much (if any) drop-off in talent. The tough decision will be what to do with Cam Robinson. If the team continues to have confidence in Walker Little, it just makes sense to release Robinson- even though he has been playing well since his return. The savings in cap money will enable them to pay Lawrence, Ridley, Allen and Cleveland. While Lawrence and Allen are obvious, Ridley is too good to be let go despite having a slightly disappointing season. Also, Zay Jones' seems somewhat injury prone. In Cleveland's situation, the only concern is that he may want to sign elsewhere as a tackle for more money. Hopefully, Raucher and Pederson can get him to extend his current contract as he is only 25 with several good years left.

---

My plan would be to start negotiating with Josh Allen the day after the season ends.  Hopefully, they can agree to a long term deal.  You then franchise tag Ridley, hopefully negotiate an extension, but don't sign it until the day after the draft so we only have to give up a 3rd round pick instead of the 2nd.  If Josh Allen really plays hard ball, we can franchise tag him.  He's more valuable than Ridley, but I think we should be able to keep both.  We also should extend Lawrence and try to re-sign as many of the free agents as we can starting with Cleveland and McManus.

We'll have to see how contract negotiations play out, but I don't think this is impossible.  According to Spotrac, the Jaguars are projected to be $22.3 million under the cap next year.  If we cut Cam Robinson, we save another $17.75 million.  That puts us $40 million under the cap.  We can restructure or extend other contracts to save additional money.  Keep in mind that when you sign a player, the first year's cap hit is typically fairly small.  The player is happy with a large signing bonus and therefore can keep their first year salary and therefore the salary cap hit low.  If we need extra money, it's Scherff.  We have two options.  If we cut him pre-June 1st, we save $9 million of cap space this year and another $7 million the following year.  Alternatively, we could make him a post-June 1st cut and we would save $16 million this year, although we would be pushing some cap space into the following year.  Of course, if we cut Scherff, we would have to find a replacement.

Assuming we could lock up our major players, we could use our first two picks in the draft on a pass rusher and a center.  Although we would lose our third rounder because of Ridley, most expect us to receive a 3rd round comp pick for Taylor.  We already have an extra 4th and 6th round picks and likely will receive another Day 3 compensatory pick for Arden Key.  Those picks can be used on depth and roll players.  If we did this, we would have an excellent team next year.

I don’t think I’d pay Ridley if the season ended today. I’m hoping they get a contract done with Allen quick so they can deploy the tag on Rid.

---

If we apply the franchise tag to Ridley does that give the Falcons our second round pick?

Currently, I wouldn't give up Ridley for a second rounder. I want that pick.

Brandon Scherff is no longer that dude.   Next season I want him gone.

LOL, I know.  I was agreeing with you and just pointing out my opinion on why I think I'd be OK with them being cut/released.

I posted this before. we have to sign IN-SEASON for it to be a 2nd rounder. after the season it is still a 3rd or 4th.  Now what exactly does in season mean?  Is it the regular season? maybe after the Super Bowl? I feel if it were the league year it would say that.

4th Round Pick conveys to a 3rd with:

Where did you see this?  Shefter's article doesn't say anything about when the extension needs to be signed, just that it won't happen in-season.

Ridley wasn't picked up to get the ball every play.... But to have teams try to double team him which leaves other receivers open... if you have a wide receiver that's a threat It takes the attention off of other wide receivers.... Ridley is a threat I would absolutely sign him again

---

Ridley has helped us win multiple games people don't realize that he's a threat...he takes defenders off of other wide receivers .. He might not be getting the ball all the time but teams respect him and they have to cover him

---

I’m pretty sure he will hit that 60% of plays threshold.

Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.

Weird.  You'd think this would have been picked up by someone else but no one mentions the in-season specification.  Makes me think they misinterpreted the Shefter report when he said we wouldn't reach an extension in-season, but possible they have something from non-public source(s).

spotrac is pretty reliable. I don't believe they would use Shefter as a source. They would have their own source.

As a Clemson fan I'm hoping Ridley gets let go and somehow trade for or sign Tee Higgins in FA.

Trevor to Tee was amazing to watch (25 TDs in two years)

They need to be smart about this. They need that 3rd round pick. I'd tell Ridley he'll have the chance to sign a market rate extension after the season, but he's not getting his stats this year -- that's all there is to it. Make sure he plays under 60% of snaps -- not playing obvious running downs, when there's a 2 touchdown lead, not playing any games after the division is clinched, etc. Set him loose in the playoffs after the trade stipulations don't apply. What's in it for him? The chance to continue playing on a winning team with an ascending young QB. No state income tax.

Ridley has been very underwhelming. But it should have been expected with how long he's been away from the game. Hopefully he kicks it into another gear the second half of the season.

I think one reason he's been underwhelming is because of the weakness in our interior offensive line.  Trevor is getting the ball out so quickly, there's not a whole lot of time to let a pass pattern develop.

He's on pace to catch 70 passes for just under 1,000 yards, so it's not bad.

I would take Higgins over Ridley for sure. But people on here thinking Ridley isn't worthy of a 2nd/extension I think are delusional. He's the sole reason we beat Buffalo. He's been fine. All of us expecting 1400 yards and double digit tds were wishful thinking as it was, our passing game is definitely better with him
