New,63commentsESTShareTweetShareShareWhich Jaguars players could be on the trade
block and where could they end up? If you told me that the Jacksonville Jaguars
would finish in the cellar of the AFC South and the Colts would be the only
divisional team standing during the divisional round of the playoffs, I would
have called you a lunatic.The Jaguars have arguably had their most disappointing
season in franchise history, and many would blame their shortcomings on a rash
of injuries that especially decimated the offensive side of the football. While
injuries certainly were a big factor, if you really read between the lines and
put any stock in the whispers from local media, injuries may not be as much to
blame as a crack in the culture. The decisions by ownership to retain Tom
Coughlin, Dave Caldwell, Doug Marrone, and what appears to be Todd Wash while
simultaneously releasing respected position coaches such as Pat
Flaherty Marqise Lee Jerseys Stitched , Perry Fewell, Marion Hobby and Tyrone Wheatley suggests (to me, anyway) that the Jaguars feel the issue is with the players in the
locker room and not the coaches in charge, which means we can see a purge in the
offseason in an attempt to reset the culture.We’ve already heard rumblings
alluding to the movement of some key players. Tony Boselli and Jeff Lageman have
said that they would move Leonard Fournette for a Day 3 draft pick. Rick Ballou
has insinuated on the radio that Telvin Smith is likely to be moved. John Oehser
listed Tashaun Gipson’s odds to be on the team in 2019 as 50-50. Ian Rapoport
has already reported that Malik Jackson and Jermey Parnell are both likely to be
released if they can’t be moved. The Jaguars will need to make some moves just
to get under the cap and erase some of the sins of their Blake Bortles debacle,
but moving all those players mentioned above is less about cap viability and
more about setting a tone in the locker room and making a statement that dissent
from discipline will not be tolerated. With the Jaguars likely making a move up
in the draft to get their franchise quarterback who may or may not be nicknamed
after a fictional Disney lion cub, they will need all the ammunition they can
get to move up.So where could some of these players end up and what could they
get for them?Telvin Smith Proposed Trade: San Francisco 49ers for 4th Round Pick
(105th overall)After signing a 4 year, $45 million contract with the Jaguars,
Smith’s level of play has not matched his compensation this year. There has been
some conjecture about Myles Jack possibly moving over to the weak side
linebacker position (his more natural position and what he played at UCLA) and
the Jaguars looking for a more traditional middle linebacker. The 49ers are
looking for a quick fix to solve their Reuben Foster swing and miss, and with
rookie Fred Warner looking like he could be a solution in the middle Youth Cedric Ogbuehi Jerseys , Smith would be a perfect weak side linebacker in their scheme. Flush with ~$58 million in cap space for 2019, Smith would re-unite with
former Jaguars linebackers coach Robert Saleh, whom he has a close relationship
with. Although compensation is a 4th rounder on paper, it’s close to a 3rd
rounder with San Francisco picking near the top, and the pick could be later
used to package and move up for a quarterback.Tashaun GipsonProposed Trade:
Dallas Cowboys for 4th Round Pick (136th overall)Gipson has been an
above-average starter for the Jaguars, but if they can get some decent value for
him, they should listen. Jarrod Wilson has quietly been very good filling in as
a starter over the last few weeks of the season, and while Gipson is a better
player, I’m not sure that he is $8.5 million better Cedric Ogbuehi Jerseys Stitched , if that makes sense (Gipson has a $9 million cap hit next year while Wilson’s cap hit is $631,000).Dallas is slated to receive an
extra fourth round compensatory pick and the Cowboys defense is really just a
free safety away from being a top five unit. The free safety crop in this draft
class is relatively weak, and while they can try to throw huge money at an Earl
Thomas in free agency with their ~$50 million in projected cap space before a
Demarcus Lawrence re-signing, Gipson might be a better value. Another team to
consider is the Green Bay Packers, as Gipson had a Pro Bowl season under Mike
Pettine in Cleveland. The Packers also have two fourth rounders and they have a
hole at the position after trading away Haha Clinton-Dix before the
deadline.Malik JacksonProposed Trade: Cleveland Browns for 5th Round Pick (145th
overall)Give us our Carlos Hyde pick back! Jackson has been listed as a player
that is likely to be released if the Jaguars can’t find a buyer, but there is no
reason they can’t get some kind of compensation for a player who is just one
year removed from a Pro Bowl appearance and a memorable Week 17 performance to
go out on. The Browns have some studs on the defensive line with Myles Garrett
on the edge and Larry Ogunjobi inside, but Malik Jackson would give them another
interior penetrator that could collapse the pocket and take some of the double
teams away from Ogunjobi. Jackson’s contract doesn’t have much dead money on it
after this year, and with ~$80 million in projected cap room for the Browns,
this would be a drop in the bucket for 2019. Factor in that the Browns have
three fifth round picks Youth Landry Jones Jerseys , and this deal makes a lot of sense for them. Another landing spot to keep an eye on – re-uniting with Gus Bradley in Los Angeles.Abry
JonesProposed Trade: Denver Broncos for 7th Round Pick (226th overall)I’m not a
huge proponent of trading away quality depth players for throw away draft picks,
but as the longest-tenured player on the Jaguars, I can see Abry Jones asking
for an opportunity to start for another team. Jones has a $4 million cap hit and
could be another player they can sacrifice to trim up some of the fat.The
Broncos have zero nose tackles under contract for 2019. None. Jones could
essentially slide right in to a starting role in their 3-4 defense immediately,
and if they end up hiring Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio as head coach,
Jones could be a huge benefactor.Leonard FournetteProposed Trade: Part of trade
bundle to Oakland Raiders for 1st Round Pick (4th overall)John Oehser recently
commented on the 1010XL that the Jaguars may essentially be stuck with Fournette
because the sense he was getting is that the value teams would offer for him
would be too low to make it worth parting with him. While this is valid and I
tend to agree, I do believe the Jaguars have reached the point of no return with
Fournette after taking away his guarantees. Fournette even unfollowed the
Jaguars on his social media accounts, and I don’t think even the offered help
from Fred Taylor or Maurice Jones-Drew can fix that level of petty. Rather than
trying to trade Fournette at a severe discount, my belief is the best route
would be using him as a bargaining chip as part of the bundle in a trade up for
the quarterback. The team that makes the most sense is Jon Gruden and the
Oakland Raiders, as Gruden loves coaching reclamation projects and new general
manager Mike Mayock was a big fan of Fournette before the 2017 draft. The
Raiders are lacking a starting-caliber power back on the roster next year with
only Jalen Richard Landry Jones Jerseys Stitched , DeAndre Washington and Chris Warren III under contract and Fournette would certainly help as a short yardage/red zone back. The trade
would certainly need to also include draft picks, likely the 2020 first rounder,
but if the Jaguars can reload some picks with some of the moves above, that
would certainly help. So what do you think? Would you take the proposed
compensation for the players above? Are there any other players you would move?
Let us know in the comments below!VIDEO: Jaguars get 3 sacks on Blaine Gabbert,
Marcus Mariota in loss to Titans The Jacksonville Jaguars dominated on defense
in a 9-6 slugfest against the Tennessee Titans yesterday. The defense managed
seven tackles for a loss and three sacks with four hits on either of Blaine
Gabbert or Marcus Mariota — but it wasn’t enough to salvage an awful effort from
the offense and earn a third win of the season.Let’s take a look at each of the
sacks and relish in just how damn good Calais Campbell is.Sack #1: Calais
CampbellThe Titans center wants zero part of trying to block Campbell, who is
charging towards the quarterback like a bat out of hell.Sack #2: Telvin
SmithTelvin comes screaming off the right edge of the Titans offensive line and
with a well-timed jump causes Gabbert to hesitate long enough to slap him
down.Sack #3: Calais CampbellCampbell played about as angry as I’ve ever seen
him play and beat the center for the second time of the day with raw power and
strength. In awe of this lad. Absolute unit.
