And now that late third pick makes lots of sense.

I wonder what is really going on with #50?

At some point you just have to let go of what you thought should happen and live in what is happening.

Welp. Next man up.

Maybe a suspension coming?

That’s all I can figure.

Seen it and I hope he gets right. With all the talk about the front office not having any contact, there must have been some with all their preemptive shuffling. I'll miss his personality but I think his production can be matched by someone else for 2019 and perhaps beyond. It'll be interesting.

I wonder how much this will save us on the salary cap.

This has been my guess all along.

Welp does that mean we save the 10 mil on the cap? So it wasn't overblown, eh? lol

He's a $12 mil cap hit this year. $10 mil of that is base salary. Will that free up 10 mil in cap space for the Jags?

Would have to be a pretty major first strike to give up the year. Pretty sure something that significant would have leaked before now.

That's fine. He's welcome to get his world in order by taking a sabbatical.

If he's suspended, the team will get some cap relief from that. If not, maybe Shad should consider going after some of that guaranteed money?

Now Frangie is sitting here saying there are off field issues that are very concerning to the front office, so it sure does sound like something with a potential suspension is looming, and it's not a self-imposed break.
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Well, it might be a run-of-the-mill 4 game susp, but perhaps he just wants/needs to enter a rehab or counseling program and repair some family relationships.  I'm just spitballing, of course. No clue what is really going on.

The murder of Telvin Smith's brother and retirement of Paul Posluszny appears to have taken its toll on Telvin. Hopefully, the season off will make a positive difference in his life.

Man, this feels like a huge loss for the team. Maybe I'm over reacting, but who's going to just step in and do what Telvin does?

So does Allen see more reps at OLB now?

If Ryan plays inside they could move Jack to Telvin's spot and then maybe rotate Williams and the kid from Wisconsin on the other side maybe?

it could be somthing medical that he has to take time off for treatment but does not want the world to know so the FO has been hush hush about it.

I wish the best for him. Football is just a game at the end of the day and he has a kid so I hope he gets everything in order and comes back in 2020 healthy and refreshed with his mind straight and clear. I also don't think this is indicative of a suspension forthcoming

Quincy Williams.

I doubt this has any effect on how they use Allen. 

He'll get reps at both DE spots in rotation and probably a few more at SAM. 

Telvin just gets replaced by Williams or maybe one of the newly signed journeymen temporarily if Williams isn't ready to go by week one.
