(09-28-2020, 05:37 AM)The Real Marty Wrote: I was watching Red Zone yesterday, and in fairly quick succession, I saw Nick Foles throw a TD pass, Alan Robinson catch a TD pass, Tashaun Gipson make an interception, Malik Jackson get a sack, and Yannick Ngakoue get a forced fumble and sack.  I saw all that just casually watching Red Zone for just a couple of hours.  

I'm not drawing any conclusions from all that.  But I did wonder, why are all these ex-Jags out there making plays for other teams, when we could sure use them.  Maybe there's a good reason.   I don't know.

Well, all of them but AR15 were cap related. Caldwell uses a contract template that gets us out of big free agent deals after the second or third years without dead money penalties, so Gipson and Jackson were seen as overpriced for declining production. Gipson is on his second team since signing with us; Jackson didn't play last year after breaking his foot and he's now 30 but his play already started declining in 2018. Foles was going once GM15 was given the team even with the dead money penalty. AR15 just wasn't going to sign here, he was the original diva that started it all.

The shot that got me yesterday was seeing Brady, Gabbert, and Leftwich on the sideline for Tampa with BB5 on the other side. It's like all our Jaguar QB nightmares were surrounding the GOAT, almost mocking our inability to draft a great QB.
