Do the Jags need to hold cap space clear for rookie pool from the start of the league year? Or if they cut Dareus and Linder do they have enough cap space to tag Ngakoue and a couple months to work something out that would free up their rookie pool? Anyone know?

The Owners and Players Union agreed to it in the last collective bargaining agreement. If it is unfair to one side, they must have gotten something else they wanted in return. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think on principle it’s garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a guy gets hurt playing on the tag or is seen as falling off, he won't get his payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Bills need more size from a new edge player. They already have a 6-2 254 pass rusher. They don't need to pay 20 mill for another. They need size. Case closed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IMHO even if we retain Shaq and draft someone, we need a FA edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have no cap space (though cutting Dareus frees up like 13 mill) Not to nitpick, but I think they actually save $20M just on Dareus. That alone gives them the money for Ngakoue. I could see him holding out so he doesn’t have to play for the team that’s playing two home games in London this year. But I’d have to think they’d get a 1st for him. And I’d rather not do that personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This almost feels like the organization covering their asses from the fan backlash when he ultimately leaves. Try to paint it that they want him, he is the one who doesn't want to be there even though they say they want him. I do think it sets a bad example when you tag someone who doesn't want to be there - it certainly does not help culture or make other players on the team or FAs feel like they should stay away. Not one players wants to be tagged let alone 2 years in a row on a 1 year contract when they refuse to sign long term. I am pretty sure no one wants to play for Doug and there is no way all of this displeasure was all on Coughlin. You are also 1000% correct on your point 27 minutes ago, Dkollidas said: Not to nitpick, but I think they actually save $20M just on Dareus. That alone gives them the money for Ngakoue.

And I’d rather not do that personally $20M it is & Foles is staying - it will cost them $33M to get rid of him. Calias is definitely a targetto be cut if they want Yannick, but if Yannick doesn't want to sign it turns into a Clowney situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 3 hours ago, billsfan89 said: I think they franchise him then trade him, this has a Clowney situation written all over it. I believe that you are correct. Jags won't just let him walk and get nothing in return. He will be in high demand, if they make him available. This will drive the price up. Chasing him doesn't seem to fit Beane's approach to team building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know? they don’t need it til signing players and I swear this is the only board I see guys worried about rookie cap hits. It’s sooooo easy to move money that being remotely close is simple to fix and that money is really minimal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
