2020 Off-Season Thread: News & Rumors

RE Yanda's retirement - any thoughts on how we replace him?

Assuming the rest of our line stays somewhat in tact, it's likely a battle between Powers and Skura.

Stanley - Bozeman - Mekari - Powers/Skura - Brown

With that in mind, it could be day 1-2 draft pick or a TC camp vet signing for depth

Don't think you can "pencil in" Skura for anything right now - IIRC he's facing a long rehab & may not even be ready til '21.

My marginally-informed guess is that EDC will not draft OL in early rounds - or sign a FA - unless stellar value falls within his grasp. (Late rounds, yes - raw prospects, coachable, with upside.) There will be a lot of teams with young stud OLmen competing with pricey &/or on-the-downslope vets - & once released, some of those vets might be happy to take a low-end/incentive-heavy 1-2 year deal to join a Superb Owl contender. Prediction: Eric will let things shake out until the first cut deadline, maybe even the second, then pounce.

I really thought Jameis would have more suitors.

It would be good for him to go back to the Bucs, watch behind Brady and maybe take the reigns back in 2 years?

He's a talented QB that everyone seems to have given up on.

Think right now Powers would be penciled in at RG.

I don’t think they should stay like that though. I’d love to see them being in competition for RG. Someone like Cordy Glenn, KO, or Josh Kline.

100% Agreed - wonder if they've reached out to KO yet.

Let’s agree to disagree . Why hold a man from taking care of his family. It’s obvious my time is up in my current situation. Let’s both move on @Jaguars

Jameis and Cam.

I just wondered out loud in another thread, has uncertainty over the 2020 season caused teams to think twice about committing big salaries to these players we all expected to get big deals?

That could be a factor.

In Cam's case, I'm sure it has a lot to do with not being able to do in-person physicals

Dre Kirkpatrick to be cut by Bengals

Jaguars scored with Jalen Ramsey trade, taking similar approach with Yannick Ngakoue :

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...nnick-ngakoue/

"Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Jaguars have heard from multiple teams interested in trading for Ngakoue. But the Jaguars maintain that they won’t give Ngakoue away and will demand substantial value in return.

That’s consistent with how the Jaguars talked about Ramsey in the weeks leading up to his trade, and in the case of Ramsey it worked. "

Robert Hunt would be a great add.

I think he comes in and competes for the OG spot, but also provides some flex to RT ability.

I would think opening day line would be Stanley-Hunt-Mekari-Powers-Brown
