kkuenn 3,597 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Fire sale? Maybe other teams are looking to get rid of players in order to start over. Hope Veach is on this possibility. Be nice to get a good player to fill a hole before draft and once our cap cuts are done. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28830621/sources-jaguars-trade-aj-bouye-broncos-fourth-round-pick The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to trade cornerback A.J. Bouye to the Denver Broncos for a fourth-round selection in this year's draft, league sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. The trade cannot be processed until the new league year begins March 18. ADVERTISEMENT Bouye was one of the key pieces of a 2017 free-agent class for the Jaguars that was regarded as the one of the best in franchise history. He is due to make $13 million and count $15.5 million against the salary cap in 2020. Chris Harris Jr., the Broncos' top cornerback in 2019, is set to become an unrestricted free agent. He intercepted eight passes and broke up 34 others in three seasons with the Jaguars. His best season was 2017, when he intercepted six passes and broke up 18 as part of one of the league's best defenses. Bouye, who turns 29 in August, made the Pro Bowl and was a second-team All Pro that season, but he did not consistently play at a high level the past two seasons. He signed with the Houston Texansas an undrafted free agent in 2013. He took advantage of injuries in the secondary, starting 11 games in 2016 (one interception, 16 pass breakups) and cashed in with the Jaguars on a five-year, $67.5 million contract with $26 million guaranteed. With Bouye gone, there are only four starters or key reserves remaining from the 2017 defense that led the NFL in pass defense and finished second in sacks, interceptions and turnovers: Defensive end Calais Campbell, defensive end Yannick Ngakoue(who is likely to be franchise tagged), linebacker Myles Jack, and defensive tackle Abry Jones.

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Place is a dumpster fire...if your going to dump players and rebuild, why would you do it with Marrone still leading the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kccrow 529 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Bouye for a 4th was dirt cheap. Too bad we reside in the doldrums with the cap and the Watkins and Jones situations right now. Calichief and DieHard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
