There is some upside in keeping him on the roster as Thomas insurance considering the return for him in a trade would be very minimal.

 

I think I'm indifferent on this one.

 

 

Yes, I am definitely indifferent on this one.

NBC Sports stated that Jacksonville is looking to trade Lewis for a late round draft pick and would be willing to pay part of his 6 million salary next year to any team stupid enough to agree.

I wonder if this means that if Walford is there in the 3rd, Jacksonville might target him.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

They would probably target a blocking TE later in the draft if they were to trade Marcedes.

I just saw the same thing on a profootball talk TV show.  They speculated Caldwell would unload him for a 6th round pick and the Jags would pay part of the salary.  Potential teams would be those needing a TE and missing out on the top 2-3 TEs in the early part of the draft. 

 

I think I value Lewis more on the roster than most.  A 6th round pick doesn't get me excited.

Caldwell has hit on some promising players late in the draft so far. That or use the 6th maybe to move back into the 1st to get the pick of the liter for RB. I don't see Lewis being on the roster past this year so I would rather get a little something and use it for a future promising player...now we just need to see if Caldwell can really get that for Lewis.

Agreed. I think we could get the most compensation from Marcedes if we trade him during the draft. Once the top few TEs are drafted, teams that missed out on one and still have a need may be willing to part with a bit more compensation.

He did get SanFran to sign Blaine Gabbert, so anything is possible...

The TE coach loved him during the senior bowl week

We'll get a 6th round pick for him. Caldwell will package it up with a 4th round pick and move up into late RD2 or early RD3 to get a RB he really likes. You watch....

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing; Rush in and die, dogs - I was a man before I was a king."

I highly doubt they will spend a 3rd on a TE when they just signed a young one to a big long term deal.

I'm not sure anyone would trade a 4th + 6th for a 2nd round pick.

Fourth-rounder + sixth-rounder =/= second-rounder. It also =/= an early third-rounder.

Nobody who values having a job in an NFL front office.

Usually to get a 2nd, it costs a 3rd and 4th. Or to get a 3rd, it costs a 4th and 5h... And so on.


It only strays on the top half of the first round because those players carry significantly more value.

---

The most logical arrangement would be for the Jags to package Marcedes Lewis and the Jags Rd 4 pick to move up into the Ravens spot in Rd 3 (Pick 90).

---

I've not been very impressed with M. Lewis for sometime, finding him to be an expensive liability more than anything. Therefore, if we could trade him for almost anything of use to us it would be a win; it doesn't even have to be another 'player'. Maybe some of the other teams have a couple of those Zamboni machines they would part with... we always need a good Zamboni machine... on a NFL team... in Florida.

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">League source says <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jaguars?src=hash'>#Jaguars</a> TE Marcedes Lewis has re-structured final year of his contract. No extension. Likely means Lewis staying put.

I like it, I'm curious to see the two TE set of Thomas and Lewis.
