Tweet from Tim Bee (@TimBeeSports) - Amukamara deal w/ #Jaguars has to be a show-me deal. Only 1-year for a young player. He wanted more $, Jags want him to prove he's worth it.

Love the signing plus the one year deal. If he does well they can sign him to a longer deal.

Seahawks free-agent OT Russell Okung is finished with his Giants visit and will be on way to visit Detroit Lions on Saturday.

  High risk player.   Unless the contract numbers are less than expected,  I hope he signs with the Seahawks,  Giants,  49ers, or any other team that wants his services.

Tweet from Chad Evans (@ChadEvansSports) - Breaking: the #Jaguars putting finishing touches on a deal with Robert Ayers. Should be done shortly.

Grain of salt for sure, he's probably just throwing stuff at the wall that is likely that makes sense.

 

With Prince coming here, I think Ayers is a hell of a lot more likely. Sign on with former teammate and play with Malik.

And if he explodes this year and has a monster year then we could just franchise him at worst! But I would rather not pay him that much money for one year if he does well.

I meant it wasn't so good for the Jags. There is no upside in one years deals.

Good not sold on him just yet plus always injured, think we can find a better long term answer in the draft

Tweet from Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) - One year for Amukamara is a little surprising. But that #Jaguars defense...very interesting unit all of the sudden. https://twitter.com/rotoworld/status/708406389706719236

Exactly. If he turns into Norman then we can franchise him from here on out lol.

I mean, its likely good for us too. We can take a corner and he'll get good PT while sitting back a little this year. If Prince works out, we have 4 deep at corner with very solid players, if he doesn't than the rookie comes in next year and starts/we sign someone else next year on FA market/draft one early next year.

 

I would have preferred a longer deal, but I get it.

Sure there is. If he continues to struggle to perform well and stay healthy, they won't have any dead money on him.

That's an upside in my book in a guy like this.

We had both E. Sanders and Ziggy Hood in together for a visit in 2015. Hood signed, Sanders walked. Malik seems like a natural leader, so maybe he can influence Ayers.

Honestly man, if he balls out and stays healthy (he will if he stays healthy), I don't even care. This team needs talent. If we hit it big with him than I'll be ecstatic and be overjoyed seeing him get a good payday.

Well, it's good for us in the fact that we get him for one season. But yeah, he's taking this deal with the expectation that he'll stay healthy/play his way into a big long term contract.
