Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

I can't fathom why the Jags wouldn't tag him or just re-sign him.

Because franchise for linebackers counts all linebackers for the rate, including edges.  Basically any non edge lb is hardly ever going to be franchised.

Sign them both!

FWIW, this is a good article about the conciliation prizes if we miss out on Lloyd.

I REALLY like Dean but curious how he fits here with current personnel and scheme. He screams a Dan Morgan type of leader for the defense and is everything you want in a leader of the defense. 

5'11" isn't ideal but Bolton is also an undersized backer that is very important to that KC defense.

Looking at the cap space, panther will only land one big fish if they want. Lloyd should be on the top ten list, just a perfect LB to re-rail a team with rich LB play. He can do it all and no weakness in his game, all 4 downs and he can pass cover with the best. When he needs to tack or lay a hit, he brings the pain.

I feel Panthers will get priced out for his services.
