O-zone: brand new rope

Jacksonville – let’s get …

Funny like the people who complain about the current squad movements were the same people who screamed for a change in the direction of the team by firing the coach and GM. I can’t calm her down at all.

The Jaguars at the end of last week took a number of steps before the start of the NFL League year 2025, and these steps actually inspired many complaints from -and more than a little fear for -many Jaguars fans. This is not surprising because some players who separated from the team were popular and that fans – like most normal people – instinctively look back if they change. To review: The Jaguars published Evan Engram and Wide Reynolds last week last week, and they are reportedly reporting the Wide Receiver Christian Kirk against the Houston Texans for a selection of the seventh round in the NFL draft 2026. Center Mitch Morse announced his retirement, and the team is also planning to publish the Cornerback Ronald Darby and the Wide Receiver/returnee Devin Duvernay. The Kirk/Engram movements have proven to be the most annoying for many people, which is not surprising when you consider that they were sometimes very productive for this franchise -and that both are very popular with Jaguar fans. But remember: The Jaguars changed the general manager and the head coach in this low season. They also went 4-13 last season. These are circumstances that often mean squad sales and a change in the organizational direction. That’s what the Jaguars was doing in the past week – and it was certain to play like this, regardless of the shouting it inspired.

I am confused, o! Why does everyone talk about our CAP number without taking into account this year’s increase on the 12th? Am I just Tripin ‘or do we have another 24 million with whom we can play from Wednesday?

I’m sorry you are confused. Confusion can be confusing. The NFL salary limit for 2025 is $ 279.2 million, which is $ 23.8 million compared to USD 23.8 million. The Jaguar is expected to enter the NFL -League ’25 on Wednesday at 4 p.m. with 234.9 million US dollars at the upper limit. I don’t know what everyone is talking about because I don’t know or read everyone.

What is our 2025 Dead Cap Money Tracker so far?

According to Spotrac.com, the Jaguars have a Dead Cap this weekend for 2025 of 58.8 million dollars.

Hey, O man. I wondered whether players who are released count for compensatory picks or whether they are only free agents.

The NFL is characterized by a selection for compensatory designs based on an equation based on profits/losses in the unrestricted free agency from the previous off -season. Unrestrained free agents are those whose contracts expire at the end/beginning of the league year. Players who are released and players who are signed after the publication do not take freelance agents into this equation.

The replacement of free agents with free agents is a losing train. Thoughts? Filling holes with free agents is a maximum maximum. Thoughts?

In the long run, I would like to see the Jaguar as far as possible from an approach that takes over the free agency. This is the idealist in me. The realist in me knows that it is difficult not to take part in the free agency, especially if you change the organizational direction. The Jaguars will sign free agents this week. The hope here is that you will draw well enough in the upcoming offsasons in order to sign less and fewer freely agents in the upcoming offsose.

Hello, Koagf. What would have been the salary limit this year if Engram had been retained by him compared to the amount when published?

In 2025, Engram has a DEAD CAP goal of 13.5 million US dollars.

In order. I calmed down a bit. While I am disappointed, I keep returning to an important reason for my ongoing optimism. We have the big BO in the room and he will make sure that we do what is right. I will trust the process, even if I will miss the boys.

Do Brenton Strange and Parker Washington have the skills to close the gap?

Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange and Wide Receiver Parker Washington figure to have the chance to play a key role in the criminal offense. Will you have production in 2025 who had Engram and Kirk in their Peak Jaguara seasons? Maybe not. But remember: Kirk and Engram combined 17 games in 2024 and catch with 59 passes for 744 yards and two touchdowns. There is a decent opportunity that is strange and Washington that can replace.

Does the trade have an effect in contrast to Christian Kirk’s release?

No. Kirk will count 13.5 million US dollars for the Jaguars upper limit if, as expected, he is traded on the Houston Texans, and he will count this amount if it is released.

Imagine how much electricity and potential we would have with the first choice in the draft, be it due to the selection of the best overall player or when trading against large rewards. Everything we had to do was losing against the Tennessee Titans. But yes, we swept it !!!!!!! Woooooo !! All of these players, whom we are now washing down the toilet in this off-season, had to have warm, happy feelings in their dumplings !!!! I don’t say that the team should have throwed one of these games because it doesn’t happen in the NFL. I say that the fans who hit the chest and howl the moon after we had hit the titans for the second time are idiots. It was completely meaningless. Apart from the losers who get these happy feelings in their bellies.

Although I understand that there are people who love this action, I just can’t go on board – and not just because of the conduct that drips from every word. After a decades and a half that discuss it far too often, I only reached one point where it is not interesting. It’s sport. Fans want to see how their team victory. In essence, there is something for many people that their team can lose – even if this means a better selection of the designs. If you choose, good. If not, that’s okay. The players will never try to lose – no matter how much people love to discuss it late in difficult seasons. OK. That’s it. I’m finished for the time being.

Mekhi Becton is £ 363 and Half Philadelphia Eagles last season for over 2,000 yards to run Saquan Barkley. If there is a shiny new toy that JAGs need in the free agency, it is a 363 pound guard. That could help us get a garden if we need it.

I have heard a lot about who wants to design the Jags to 5th place, but only very little over 37 or whatever it is, which is also a large selection. It is best to be available, I think, but only no names as possibilities.

This is due to the fact that players have to be selected in front of No. 37. You can throw out names on site. The accuracy of these names is another thing.

I am not shocked that we had to develop from Engram and Kirk. Probably the right financial step. What is discouraging, combined with the other losses that we already had so many holes to fill. Now we have three to the fourth to do. Fifth year of the quarterback Trevor Lawrence rises and it is still in the recurrence mode. It is difficult to consider the next year as anything but a reconstruction year without being expected to be a playoff team. Crazy things can happen and hope that this year we will meet some freely changing agents for players. I just save it from just thinking about what our offense with DK Metkalf vis -à -vis Brian Thomas Jr.

We tend to observe the NFL, to ignore reality and to sunbathe. The perception is that Kirk and Engram were incredibly valuable core. This was a reality in 2022 and 2023. It was more perception in 2024. The Jaguare, which forwarded from Engram, dealt to deal with reality and to bring themselves into the best position in 2025 and beyond. The Jaguars were 4-13 last season. Last season they move from players who were injured and unproductive. This means that the holes they created last week were realistic.

Many people stormed the castle with torches that “wanted to chase the whole thing into the air”. Now that it is blown up, they cry over Roster Moves. Some people would complain if they stopped with a brand new rope.

Fans fan. It’s what you do.
