But, the Jags shouldn’t be doing this, we need to repair our relationship with the NFLPA not make it worse. If someone offers a 2nd and 4th I think you gotta take it.

A little much? It's super hyperbole at its finest.

Dude is a contracted player. The team doesn't owe him anything outside of his contract. They are using the tag well within their rights under the CBA his representatives in the NFLPA agreed to. If he doesn't want to play he can choose to not play but the team doesn't have to trade him at all, especially for less than worthy compensation just to appease him.

If Yan doesn't do his twitter crybaby nonsense does the team take less in a trade? I doubt it. They weren't ever gonna trade him for a mid round pick or combination of. He wants top dollar and to play for a "winning" franchise. We want a first round pick. Seems like no one is getting what they "want". Tough cookies, I say.
At this point the Jaguars should stop taking calls. Yan plays on the tag or doesn't play and then rinse and repeat next year.

If that makes the NFLPA somehow upset, then they can address it in the next CBA. Until then the Jaguars aren't doing anything wrong. In fact they are doing what is best for their franchise. They weren't letting Ramsey go without proper compensation and they got it. If a team really wants Yan, they'll cough up a first. My guess is no one wants him that bad because of the contract he also wants on top of it and no time to negotiate. 


For once I'm fully backing the franchise in the Yan situation.
