TheBeaneBandit Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Is he a free agent? He could hold the 3tech for a year or two..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Rumored to getting cut. Had down year and would save the team 11 mil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 He is most likely getting cut. The Jags are in cap hell and they have so much money invested on the D-line and there are several big contract players who underperformed. Dareus and Jackson in particular are 10+ million dollar contract players who are coming off of down years. C.Campbell might also get cut despite having a productive season (10.5 sacks) but his cap hit is huge at 16 million with a 15 million dollar savings if cut. Although I suspect that they will try and restructure his deal since he is still rather productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I wouldn’t mind getting a vet to cover Kyles departure (even if we draft a dlineman in the first). i also really like Gerald McCoy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Absolutely worth a look. He's got to know he's not going to get a big money deal. He would be at least a rotational player at 3 technique along with Harrison Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabills21 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Adding a top tier defensive end (draft) and Malik at the 3 technique would be a very nice start to rebuilding the d line. Malik's biggest issue is effort and staying in good shape. Jacksonville's entire team disappointed this year, so a new start might do the trick. We definitely need a penetrating/pass rushing 3 technique. Harrison is more of a 'tweener', Star is Star, and hopefully Phillips is back. But we need to fill some talent gaps in free agency and Malik is certainly plenty talented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceVilanch Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I feel like Jville will have a brand new DL. I wouldn't hate signing him to a 1 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Jackson is a proven commodity in this league. I would be glad to have him along the DL if he's not overestimating his own value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 for the right price, yes! Then again, could probably say that about every free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebandit27 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The Jags basically have to cut either Jackson or Calais Campbell. I'm assuming Jackson will be it given that they still have Dareus, Abry Jones, and 2018 first round pick Taven Bryan in the fold, but Campbell might make more sense as a guy that's older and slowing down. However, if Jackson is released, then yes, absolutely, I'd take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 If we pursue a DT that gets cut, I'd prefer it be Gerald McCoy. Having said that, paying $25-30 million per year to your DTs (combined between Star, McCoy, and the two Phillips) is a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 The NFL is all about getting B level players at cheap deals. If we can get him at a nice deal I'd absolutely bring him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think both of them may be on the chopping block depending on how much flexibility Jacksonville wants to have this offseason. If they plan on just drafting and starting a rookie, they don't really have to rock the boat too much in terms of cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they plan on just drafting and starting a rookie, they don't really have to rock the boat too much in terms of cuts. Perhaps...though they actually save more cap space by cutting Jackson ($11M) than Dareus ($10M), and Dareus is younger. I also think that they could cut both and go into the season with Taven Bryan and Abry Jones as starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think both of them may be on the chopping block depending on how much flexibility Jacksonville wants to have this offseason. If they plan on just drafting and starting a rookie, they don't really have to rock the boat too much in terms of cuts. They probably are going to cut Dareus and Jackson. Unless either takes a massive pay cut. Jacksonville has spent big the past 3 off-seasons in an effort to compete. So their cap situation is rather bad and they can't hold onto decent players on massive contracts. Campbell will probably do a restructure since if he went on the open market he would command good money. The Jags have some solid money committed to few players. Campbell, Dareus, Jackson, Telvin Smith, and Bouye all have 10+ million dollar deals on defense while on offense Bortles and Norwell make good money too. They could also consider trading Campbell too if they got a good return or he simply doesn't want to take a pay cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
