Oh jeez yeah I had misread otc I didn't realize his apy was so high ! Yeah not sure they are willing to spend that big on this position...

Joe Schobert is said to be released by the Steelers following Myles Jack's signing, what do you think ?

I think Jordan Hicks was the more realistic target. When you look at what the Vikings paid him, 2 yr $10m contract with a $3.5m cap hit in '22 it is hard to understand if we were at all interested . As for Wagner, I think he will probably only sign a sub $15m py contract with a contender or somewhere he has connections like Dallas. Outside of these two the only other option would be if Ron or JDR have identified a rough diamond, a LB version of Logan Thomas. The rest are very meh.

The thing is I'll take known meh over being naked at LB for another season.
Holcomb, Jamin Davis, Hudson, Mayo and a couple of UDFAs is not a viable option. If we can't land Wagner, nor Schobert, (then why the F weren't we agressive on Myles Jack? He is athletic and led the jags in tackles last year. But that's not the point), I'll take a proven vet ala Hightower, Van Noyle or Minter. We can not not sign somebody in my view.

"The rest are Meh" was a broad inclusion of the Mayo/Bostic group. So there may be a few who are a little better than meh, I will defer to those with greater knowledge of the free agency landscape. It seems to me that many of the guys still out there are more OLB types than MLBs. After last year, I am not sure Ron and Co have the options that they think they have. As you say adding a couple of UDFAs to the current personnel is not a viable option, but that is exactly what they did last year. My broader point is, if they were targeting a starting quality MLB they have inexplicably let some good one escape for very little money.

Ah gotcha. We're on the same page then.

Jp:

Name I keep hearing (Chico warpath posting included) for Washington to target is veteran guard Andrew Norwell. Played in Jax last four years but was in Carolina before that. Brings veteran presence and nastiness to the line.

@RapSheet

The Washington #Commanders are expected to sign former #Jaguars and #Panthers guard Andrew Norwell , source said. They are close on a deal. He fills a big void on the offensive line.

Some reports are stating it's done. Basically trading Scherff for Norwell. At least this guy wants to be here. There is smoke about Mathieu signing. Still want a mlb big time.

Nice.

Admittedly I havent seen a lot of Norwell's play but Cooley was in love with him when he was a FA a few years ago, he was they top G before going to Jags.

This is playing out nicely.

If they can address MLB and add a decent swing tackle a la Lucas, Id feel pretty good.

Nice. Wonder if it is less than what Flowers was set to make.

It's not necessarily the amount of money a lot of times, but how it is distributed and how does it affect this year's cap.
