Jaguars to sign TE Julius Thomas

I guess the deal is not official yet, but Thomas is expected to sign with the Jags. The deal is supposed to be worth around 9 mil per season. This is really surprising to me that such a low market team with little talent on their roster pulled off signing a top 5 TE in the league. I'm also really surprised that Denver couldn't make a similar offer after Peyton took that pay cut..I'm sure if they could put up a decent offer that he would pick a contending team rather than a bottom feeder. What are your thoughts?

Chasing the $.

 

Which I don't blame him for.  I seriously doubt any one of us would look an employer in the eye and say "You know I think you're offering me too much money".

 

But paying Julius Thomas on a par with guys like Gronkowski and Graham?

    • I can see Cooper being a target. Wouldn’t be bent out of shape but obviously not a preference if we’re talking position picked — but I’m just looking for impact. And man, this draft class is an odd bunch in our range. Has these really talented hybrid Slot/Safeties, McDonald (but I think I liked Tyleik more the other year), Faulk (huge work in progress), Saddiq (TE in R1?), and some interesting but wildly different profiling OTs. Our biggest needs: ILB, 3-4 DE, S/Slot (à la Branch), OT, WR, and TE The WRs here would be a notable impact add.  I personally don’t have a position I am pining for. I see Thieneman, Cooper, McDonald, and McNeil-Warren as my faves right now but it could change.  Iheanachor is a sleeper at OT over Proctor, Miller and others. A big eye-of-the-beholder year. It would take a major reach for me to be ticked with the pick bc there’s just too big a range of players, positions and types this draft. Unpopular: Honestly, I kind of love the idea of just trading up for Styles if he slips to 8/9. It’s not a year where capital is going to be lofty.     
    • I have wanted to do that since I first looked at the draft order and the crop of players.  A lot of it is, just not that impressed with the selection we are likely to have at 19. And then when I learned how good some of these ILBs are I never bought that we could sit at 51 and get one. So trading back helps us have a chance to move up for one of those guys. 
    • I would pass, dude is 30 and would require using a draft pick to get.  Maybe if we were in season and having a better year than expected and see the need for a CB, but right now no.
