The Saints and Rams geared up last year for that push because of said windows. Teams like the CHEATERS, Steelers and Packers do an good job of releasing players w/high cap #s but they don't make splashes in the playoff drive to the SB. Except for the CHEATERS.

We the Jaguars has an window of opportunity before the front office will have to jettison players like Myles Jack, Bouye and Campbell just to name a few. At this point, in my opinion, we do not have their replacements on the roster via the NFL draft. We did an good job of drafting Bryan early but we need to do Much Better in this category of drafting for the future instead of the present. Success does cure this BUT.

I wish people would stop including Bouye on lists like this. Bouye and Ramsey being out there together give the Jaguars an elite secondary. Without Bouye we go from one fo the few best to being practically crash. Ramsey can over cover half the field, and you can't just find another guy who can cover as well. Keep in mind that Bouye can basically cover just as well as Ramsey. The only reason you list him behind Ramsey is he's not as great at getting those INTs, but that doesn't mean we're ok parting with him. The day Ramsey or Bouye depart you can pretty much say the Jags window is closed.

I honestly liked Bouye's season over Ramsey's back in 2017. I think he had a lot more pressure to succeed on his plate because he knew they would pick less and less on Ramsey. He had a lot of standout moments too. I circle back to his pick against Seattle where he allowed Graham to sneak by him and then he baited Wilson into a throw thinking it was there and he just turned on the jets and stole it. He's a very, very sound technician at his position.

He's still young. He'll be 28 by the time the regular season starts. I would rather see this team part ways with Linder and/or Norwell before Bouye is considered a cap casualty. Linder cannot physically hold up for the life of him. And Norwell was a letdown considering the signing during the off season of last year.
