<p class="">The name to watch in Jacksonville now that Vernon is gone? Robert Ayers. Jaguars still covet other pass rushers, like Ayers, on the market.

This Vernon deal is the biggest for a DE in all categories: most overall gtd, most full gtd, highest average, payouts in years 1-3.
If he had a 20 sack season last year I'd be all for those figures but man........her better be a HOF'er with that

 Good analogy. 

 

 It's evident on this end that Giants G.M. Jerry Reese is on the hottest part of the hot seat.   With ownership expecting a winning season or else.

No, he doesn't suck at all. But he's worth the most of any defensive player? Hell [BLEEP] no.

 

Like honestly, you get a bad rep because of this exact stuff. You can't possibly be serious with this BS.

<p class="">Vernon money: 2016: $29m. 2017: $12m. 2018: $13m. First 3 years: $54m. Most in history for a DE.

<p class="">^$30 million in his first season. :blink:

Five years, $85 million for Olivier Vernon with the Giants. The Jaguars were right there, money wise. Giants sold it.


We offered him big bucks, players don't really want to come here over big markets when money is the same, it's the way it is. Look at Murray and Cobb last year.


Exactly. We are a joke. Just leverage. Why go lose in podunk jacksonville when you can be a star under the bright lights in NYC?

There's no reason to commit that kind of money to just 2 Players from 1 FA. No ones saying Vernon sucks now that we didn't get him. If we didn't get Jackson I would of been more inclined to make a splash with Vernon.
