NFL Free Agency 2016

Chico23231 · 03-08-2016, 03:04 PM

Jaguars agreed to terms with DL Malik Jackson, formerly of the Broncos, on a six-year, $90 million contract.

The deal includes a whopping $42 million guaranteed, making Jackson one of the highest paid defensive players in league history. He'll get $45 million over the first three years of the deal. Coming off a monster 2015, Jackson, who turned 26 last month, will be transitioning from a 3-4 attack to a 4-3 defense, but has the skills to collapse the pocket no matter the system. It's a huge get for the Jaguars, who desperately need to goose their pass rush in Year 4 of the Gus Bradley era.

IMO this is a major mistake. Good player on a great defense who just won the SB....red flags. 90 million, 42 guarantee is a little much. This stuff rarely works out...

Wow

Monster deal.

Terrible move by Jacksonville. He'll never live up to that contract. The guy is not Reggie White. Some of these teams just never learn the ropes about free agency. Didn't they just sign Julius Thomas to big money last year? How'd that work out?

Damn that's too much money but hey if they got it spend it I suppose. Jacksonville is on the verge of being really good

He also is transitioning to a 4-3 scheme from a 3-4. Visions of Albert Hanyesworth laying on the ground vs Philly when I read of the guarantee money and the scheme change

Lol Idk if he'll be that bad but I bet he won't see year 3 of this deal. Seems like every year someone overpays a key role player on a SB champion, and this year Malik Jackson is the big winner.

There are certain teams that are historically terrible and on top of it are cheap. Jacksonville is one of those teams. The owner pockets a ton of the TV money that he really did not earn, because his team does terrible at the gate and on the TV ratings. But all teams get an even cut of the TV money.
Then on top of that when forced to spend money (the 89% rule) they do something stupid like this. They have so many needs but spend heavily on one player. Where is the logic?

Ruhskins · 03-08-2016, 04:36 PM

Jacksonville has a ton of cap room, and their coaching staff is basically going to be on the hot seat. So I am not surprised they've made this type of deal.

Mario Williams to the Dolphins:

The #Dolphins deal with pass-rusher Mario Williams should come today, sources says, and it's expected to land him $8M per year.

maybe this contract helps them meet their minimum spending requirement... I also think it's a mistake.

Another terrible move. Who is running things now in Miami? 8 million for a past his prime Williams?

The Jags are better than some give credit for, did they overpay for Malik Jackson? Probably so, but they have a lot of young talent on that team.

QB Black Bortles
WR Allen Robinson
WR Allen Hurns
RB TJ Yeldon
TE Julius Thomas
DE Malik Jackson
LB Dante Fowler Jr. (coming off injury)
5th overall pick, probably gonna go defense so they have talent

Black Bortles, hahahahahahahaha!
