Currently the Jaguars are setting at 24.6 million under the current cap number.

Could get to 60 million if they do it right.

With the big increase, it will be interesting to see if the Jaguars decide to keep Cam Robinson, Darious Williams, Brandon Scherff and Rayshawn Jenkins. My preference would be to NOT keep any of these players, with the possible exception of Williams. He did play well last season and might re-structure his current contract to remain in his hometown. The other 3 are not worth their salaries and the Jaguars already have less expensive players on their roster who could easily replace them. Hopefully those savings will enable them to pay Josh Allen and sign Ridley after the new league year begins therefore retaining their 2nd round pick.

They just hired a load of secondary specialists under Nielsen.
I'd be shocked if that crew is going to advise Pederson/Baalke to keep Jenkins.


williams is a different story IMO

If we could get the right kind of restructuring/extension, I’d keep Cam. He’s not a scrub and he brings the attitude of nasty this OLine needs.

Whe you look at where we are in cap space vs the league, we are right in the middle. We probably have more guys we could cut with big contracts that would add to our cap space than most teams as well, Cam, Scherff, Jenkins etc if we wanted. With that said, if we tag Allen it will be a big chunk

I would like to keep Cam if we can get a Stud to Play LG beside him. I have been rooting for Walker little but still unsure if he is the answer.

He's not a guard and them forcing it last year created almost all our problems. He should be the LT and Cam's money spent elsewhere.

I am 50/50 with a Cam cut. I understand the value of an additional $17.2m in cap (per OTC) with the cut in free agency, but do not like the idea of opening up a hole for either a starting or swing tackle. Also, not often mentioned, if you do keep Cam and let him play out the last year of his deal, he would likely be a coveted free agent next year and deliver the Jags a high compensatory pick (similar to the 3rd round pick for Jawaan Taylor).

My guess is that they restructure him. 

Keep Cam and LT, Anton at RT and 3 new starters on the interior. 2 FAs and a rookie.

I feel the team needs at least six new faces in free agency. Two guards and a center, two corners and an edge. Could certainly use a big DT as well. So I prefer cutting Robinson for the cap space. I would rather have Hunt at RG than Robinson at LT. Move Harrison to LT and take one of the huge tackles in the 1st.

What do you think the realistic possibility of 6 free agent additions really is?

 I know it depends on how much they cost - so - if we sign six - how many are obvious quality starters immediately and not just "competing?"

That is indeed the question!

With cuts and several restructures (Foye and Kirk) I think four maybe five??? I personally would put Hunt and Cushenberry at the top of the list if they hit free agency.

Maybe a starting corner that is physical and can play man.

Start looking cheaper at edge, another guard or maybe a draft pick, and corner.

But I honestly don’t think Baalke wants to make many changes. Especially as many as I would prefer. Maybe a couple of lighter guards that can pull and get downfield. Maybe a DT too.

Yes…I fully expect to see Fortner starting at center. Hope I’m wrong.

So when he repeated the phrase "need to get bigger and stronger in the trenches" 6 times at the presser, he was just lying?

It “seems” as if Baalke stays away from the bigger, stronger “maulers”.

Was he lying?? I don’t know. I hope not.

He has so far. But then he made that comment repeatedly. Which makes me think he sees what we see now.

Was it Doug's ZBS scheme and Doug's targeted measurables that led Baalke to select the linemen he selected thus far? Was it both of them? Was it one guy's tactical error? Or both? 

Whatever dialogue is happening between Doug and Trent right now regarding how they will proceed in addressing that group is the absolute lynchpin to unlocking this offense IMO. 

Whichever one of them went too far down the path of "athleticism" in their OL targets (or both of them) must come to the table ready to alter course. 

No more "finesse" at the expense of being able to grind out a 3rd and 1 with a run up the gut. That philosophy must come to a screeching halt.

After the cuts and franchise tag we are at setting at $24.59 million.

We were up to $29 million a few days ago snd briefly $50 million but the franchise tag has put us back down to where we were.

Cool --- then can pay the players and raise ticket prices once again.  My tickets are only up 50% in the past 4 years and I was wondering what to do with all of the extra $$ that I've been saving as a result of eating Ramen noodles every day since turkey breast is now selling for $72.99/pound at Publix.
