They are both bad in one on one coverage. Don't just make up [BLEEP] to try propping up a crap argument. 

The player who will play in front of Herndon on the depth chart is very, very likely not even on the roster yet. They want a guy behind him that knows the system. This is very normal practice - especially from a staff that preaches continuity like this one. 

You're being willfully obtuse about Herndon making 1 million more than vet minimum to be a backup. 
It is of zero concern to anyone in the organization. I guarantee it.

Personally - I wanted the Jags to find a way to have better depth than both Herndon and Wingard, but you can't fix everything in one offseason when you're only one year removed from the #1 pick. Still building, still filling needs. 
Gotta choose your battles. You're choosing a bad one to nitpick.

I just don't think you fully gurantee a contract for a player who could very well be beat out and cut before the season starts. And under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't care much because of how little his salary is, but when you have next to no cap space I don't see the point. 

Could have very well been the difference in us resigning Calais had we still had that extra 2m, and personally I think even at his age he would have been super beneficial to both Walker and Josh Allen even had he only been here for a season.

You are desperately scrambling to find a way to make Herndon's minuscule deal a bad thing. 
It's not - and you look silly trying. 

They offered Calais what they wanted to pay him. 
If they wanted him bad enough to offer more, they would have cleared more cap.
They weren't in some back and forth bidding war. They made their offer and then the player chose a higher offer elsewhere. 

Didn't have a damn thing to do with Tre Herndon making peanuts to back up the NB position.

Over the cap says 2.4 mil guaranteed and a 1.3mil savings by cutting him prior to June 1.
