1. Which team will accept a trade for Cam Robinson? He is a slightly above average tackle who has had 2 significant injuries during his 6 year career. He will be making $18 million next season after returning from a meniscus injury. In hindsight, the Jaguars brass are likely kicking themselves about overpaying him when they'd have been better off letting him walk and going with Walker Little at left tackle and Jawaan Taylor at right tackle.

2. If Robinson is not able to be traded, how will you be able to keep Taylor? He had his best season by far and is likely to command a pretty hefty contract in free agency. Walker Little was drafted to eventually become a starting tackle, preferably on the left side. He passed every test when replacing Robinson and will likely be counted on to be a critical part of this team's nucleus moving forward. Regardless of how many contracts the team is able to re-structure during the off-season, I don't see how they will be able to afford Taylor when they have other players like Engram and Key who are free agents and will command significant deals to remain in Jacksonville.

1. No one.
2. You can't.

Thank you. I believe the answer to question 1 is 100% correct.  As far as keeping Taylor, I wouldn't be totally against re-signing him if the contract was reasonable. He was the team's best offensive lineman this season. They could then release Robinson after next season when the dead cap hit DROPS to $5 million. Unfortunately, they'd still have a dilemma regarding where to play Little and Robinson this coming season. I don't see Cam moving to guard based on his previous comments when this had been discussed.
