Are we sure about these cap numbers for Jack? he has two years left on his contract. 4.8mln split over these two years as bonus with 10mln per year base salary. Looks like it on over the cap. If he was cut this offseason, his bonus would be dead money but his cap savings would be a lot less than 26mln, roughly 10mln. I would NOT cut him. Definitely not at these numbers.

Jack has 2 years left on his deal, and has $4.8m in unamortized signing bonus dollars, that were being amortized $2.4m each year.  With workout bonus, base salary, and amortized bonus, Jack's 2022 cap is $13.15m and 2023 cap is $13.9m.  If Jack is traded or released this offseason, his unamortized $4.8m remaining signing bonus would be fully accelerated into the 2022 cap figure, delivering a net 2022 cap savings of $8.35m ($13.15m less $4.8m), and a 2023 cap savings of $13.9m.

I would be tempted by a 3rd round selection for Jack, but would rather him play out his contract here if he would only deliver a 4th round selection. Jack, IMO, is a quality NFL player, in which the Jags are in lack of on the roster. I don't believe the Jags are in need of the cap savings.
