This is an interesting one. Could this be a good trade target for us at ILB?

Young player with good production and still a good amount of upside. Likely an upgrade over one or both of Wallace/Jewell.

Good PFF grades for those that care about such things.

I generally am against trading picks for players in a rebuild, but for a young talented and ascending LB which is probably our biggest weakness rn I love it. Linebacker is one of the hardest positions to adjust to in the pros, dudes about to hit his prime.

If he's ascending as you say then why are the Jags not picking up his 5th year option?

That's a good question. But his stats look good, PFF grades are good and there aren't any off-field issues I'm aware of. It could be as simple as the new regime doesn't value him the same way the old one did.

Sometimes when new coaches/GMs take over teams players like this can slip between the cracks.

In any event, I feel like he's worth looking into.

Stats and grades are all good but the biggest factor is why they team that drafted him does not want to pick up his option. That to me says more than anything. I'm watching every pro snap before I decide to give up a pick AND a big contract to.

You also have to consider the cap, they're paying Trevor, and others premium dollars, so honestly they may not be able to afford the 5th year option.

From what I can tell from Jags fans on their forums, they plan to extend him with a new contract rather than use the option. The fifth year option would make him one of the highest paid LBs in the league and it's cheaper to just give him a new deal.

The 1 area Jax has invested in the most of the last couple years. Think it's a numbers game. They even drafted 1 this year

Makes sense. Worth keeping an eye on.

The Jags have just under $50M in cap space for next season and Lloyd's bonus option would have accounted for $14.75M. Oluokun already is owed $16.5M then as well with Ventrel Miller and Yasir Abdullah providing depth.

Likely don't want to have over $30M tied up in two LBs. I can see them extending him with a low hit in 2026 that jumps much higher in 2027.

      Facts it's still crazy that they made him sell over that especially considering what some of the other owners have done.  JR was a rich 80 year old white man from the south I'm not at all surprised about him making some "inappropriate" comments about what a woman is wearing water is wet what a surprise. That's just the way things were done during his time, and he should and did get punished for his actions by paying some hefty fines, but it definitely wasn't something that he should've been forced to sell his team over.  I'll never forget him insulting Peyton Manning during a negotiation, reportedly belittling the quarterback’s knowledge of player safety and asking, “Do I need to help you read a revenue chart, son?

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.
