One positive If and that is a very large IF they could possibly get something done before the season is they can use this year's $ to spread the impact more. I know this is a crazy idea. The cap hit this year is 11.7 mill.  So write a six year deal paying more sooner but by counting the 11.7 in the contract it becomes a bit easier to show a larger total number. You guys can get some bean counter to tell you how to calculate the present value of money with interest rates where they are.

Of course I feel the Jags will want a portion of the contract tied to performance and TL's group will want some tied to the Jags maintaining personnel properly.  This will take time.

When I read that statement I feel like both of those incentives will wash out, in QB contracts it's very rare that any significant portion of guaranteed money/salary is tied to those types of escalators.  Particularly the tie to personnel maintenance, it sounds good but becomes very difficult to enforce.  There may be bonuses for playoff/superbowl wins, but it's pretty menial when looking at a deal that is paying ~260M.
