One thing about it....one of our pass rushers will get you, just a question of which one.

Campbell played inside more this year than normal after Dareus was IR'd. That affected his sack numbers. He faces more doubles inside and just generally gets better pressure from the strong side end spot. 

He played well against the run from big end and from DT and he did get solid pressure. He had 32 pressures and 15 QB hits in addition to the 6.5 sacks. 

He's worth the money for a number of reasons and I think he's a Jag in 2020 at his current salary if for no other reason than the amount of youth around the defense. There is potential for rookie's being added to the starting lineup at nose tackle, CB, FS and even LB.  So veteran presence is needed.

The problem with keeping him at his current salary is that if the Jags also bring back Yannick with the Tag or a new contract, the Defensive Line would then be taking up 1/4 of the entire cap.

That means the Jags have to skimp on a few other position groups. Plus, the DL would need to return to 2017 level effectiveness to justify that amount of spending.
