Also DJack looks much better this year on the outside, the kid Horn can follow guys into the slot like Marlin Humphrey in Balt or Charles Woodson used to do and shut poo down when he gets healthy lololol

Fitt is the goat man

Jackson isn't being re-signed.  It just ain't happening.  Love him and I'm so happy to see him maximize his skill-set this year like I always knew he could, but it just doesn't make sense for this team to re-sign him at the $$ he'll be worth.  And schematically, I don't think you are getting the best out of any of our 3 corners (Horn, Jackson, Henderson) if you put them at nickel.

I'd much rather us use that money on the OL.  We also need to extend Moore and Reddick.

We have 5 years of Horn (assuming we pick up the 5th yr), and we have 3 years of Henderson, now peep this, we only have to pay his base salary for 22, 23, and 24, in 25 he's eligible for a 5th year option. 

JAX is accountable for his guaranteed salary until that 5th year, so we have the money to extend Jackson, and have it end around this time and decide who to keep then. 

obviously the cap is a myth and all but if henderson balls out, it's very difficult to prioritize donte over burns, dj, or poo, even reddick now.

We just have too many other things that will need our $ though.  I know we can afford to keep Jackson but the question is does it make a lot of sense to do so?  Reddick and Moore definitely deserve to get paid and need to.  Brian Burns is likely going to need an extension soon.  We need to upgrade the OL.  I just feel like in terms of importance, Donte Jackson will be a little ways down the list.  Maybe if we could afford him at the going rate for #2 CBs but Jackson will get #1 CB money.

It's being reported on NFL.com so I think it's a done deal.  Which is a great move for Carolina.   CB are pretty much plug-and-play guys so he should fit into Snow's system pretty much immediately.

Here's the guy's draft profile for those unfamiliar with him.  Henderson is the bomb !

I am mixed on this trade...I really like how Arnold was turning into a chain mover and Tight End is a significant part of Brady's scheme. Also, Henderson certainly fits a need but I am skeptical about his performance to date in the NFL. He is often injured, seems to have some struggles mentally and was average at best last year and was not even one of the top 5 CB's from the 2020 draft class (performance wise) . From PFF..."As for Henderson, Jacksonville is already giving up on him after just one NFL season. He finished the 2020 campaign with a 58.3 coverage grade on 270 coverage snaps, the seventh-best mark among the 2020 cornerback class".

With all that said, he has to have potential or he would not have been drafted in the first round so hopefully we can get him turned around.

I love DJax but this seals his fate, assuming Henderson plays well.  I just don't think we can prioritize paying him the money he deserves.

OL really needs to be a priority we spend big on too.

He's got better but he's still not as good as he seems to think he is. It's a little bit too much of a coincidence for me that he got better as soon as we got a defensive line full of killers.

Ugh....

We're still prepping BC and Brown, lets see how they do. 

Fitt will have more time to prepare for line acquisitions next year.   Last year we sucked so no one wanted to come here,  Fitt had just been hired and good OL get snatched up fast while some of those deals are a long time in the making.    

Darnold took too long to throw on Thursday, and the line looked bad.  I'm expecting that they are spending a ton of time addressing that.  Fortunately, the Cowboys DL is not elite either.  I'm hoping for a better showing.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football
