  [SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville Jaguar fans, welcome in to Duval, daily presented by Gen. Jag.com.
• 0:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's Friday, March 6.
• 0:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right now, we are talking about the Jaguars making some money moves.
• 0:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is, you know, very expected, absolutely, expected the Jaguars to have some news today on the Salary cap front, and that's what we're seeing.
• 0:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: There could be a lot of news today from the Jacksonville Jaguars, but so far, what we have from SpotRack,
• 0:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: is the Jaguar's restructuring a couple contracts.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have clear paths to restructure a lot more contract, basic restructures.
• 0:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't even have to negotiate or deal with the agents or anything like that.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's very simple restructures.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a bunch of those.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna dive into it.
• 0:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all tuning in.

• 0:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pick up some new Duval gear like the hat I am wearing.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: right now, I'll support the channel look good while doing it.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can also hit that high button.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the jacks converted $9.2 million of Patrick McCarrie's salary into signing bonus, adding three void years, clearing $7.36 million of cap space.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Very simple operation there.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: All you're doing is
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: and adding three void-years.
• 1:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is what we've been talking about all off season with these guys.
• 1:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that clears $7.36 million of cap space.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: They also converted $4.2 million of Eric Murray's 2026 salary into signing bonus and adding three void-years, clearing $3.36 million of cap space.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know everybody can kind of get
• 1:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: uptight about void years, look, the cap is rising and these void years are going to be negligible against the cap in the future.
• 2:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be a big deal.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: James Gladstone, these guys, they know exactly what they're doing.
• 2:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: They know how this works, they know how to operate an NFL organization.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the Jaguar is effectively cleared 10.72 million in cap space this morning.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think more is to come, absolutely, they can make cuts as well, to save some money, like the guys that I personally have been eyeing as real potential cut candidates, Chuma Adoga.
• 2:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars would save 2.876 million against the cat by cutting Tuma Adoga.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: To me, he is like the weakest link on your offensive line.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: You could easily upgrade that cheaper via the draft.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's my thinking on that.
• 2:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then a guy like Johnny Month who, again, I just, I want more, I want more.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Quinn Morris is back.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Britain strangers, you're tied in one.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want more at the tight end spot.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars could save $2.7 million by cutting Johnny Mutt with only 500,000 in dead cap.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So pretty good deal there.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm into that.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hunter Long, I don't know that you want to cut two tight ends.
• 3:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Right?
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know that you want to go down that road.
• 3:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: but he would save you 1.3 million, 1.38 million with 1.37 and dead money.
• 3:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it makes more sense money-wise to cut Johnny Munt.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look, nothing personal.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just about managing the salary cap with these guys, right?
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: So those are big candidates for me.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: When you talk about Post June 1 cuts, which the Jaguars could get into that world as well, there's a number of players that make sense, but you do not get that salary cap relief until after June 1st.
• 4:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it does not help you with the initial wave of free agency, but it could help you execute trades.
• 4:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: It could help you sign your draft class.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: There is value to it, right?
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Eric Armstrong would save the Jaguars 14.48 million dollars
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: That seems possible, right?
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Personally, I want the Jaguars to be going all in on their defensive line.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think having Eric Armstrong still helps you win football games as a rotational player, expensive rotational player.
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, it's cost to do a business.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: And this regime is not who side Eric Armstrong, right?
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: A foe, a luchin.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They could save $10.25 million as a post-union one cut.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I ain't cutting for you.
• 4:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: No chance in hell.
• 4:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm cutting for you, Luke.
• 4:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not doing it.
• 4:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Devon Hamilton, they could save 8.4 as a post-union one cut.
• 5:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: As a Cleveland, they could save 9.2 as a post-union one cut.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those are the ones that really kind of make a lot of sense.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I would like to keep all those guys.
• 5:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, as far as, other cap saving moves, the Jaguars could make the Jaguars could convert a lot of Trevor Lawrence's salary to signing bonus and ad void years and get that cap number way down.
• 5:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: They could do the same thing with Josh Heinz Allen.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, as we're sitting here talking, I do make sure that there's no new money moves being made by James Gladstone company.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Rams extended Cam Curl really good player.
• 6:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's see here.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, nothing else yet coming down the pike for the Jaguars, but I think that there will be more.
• 6:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: with several players, do the same thing that they've done with Patrick McAerry and Eric Murray.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a bunch of guys on the list.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: We don't need to go through every single one of them, but there's more than a handful of players the Jaguars can convert salary to signing bonus, add void years, clear cap space for 2026, give themselves some flexibility to bring in free agents,
• 6:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: to do whatever, right?
• 6:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: That they can create the flexibility.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And people talk about Walker little as well, quite a bit.
• 6:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Walker little, you can't cut him.
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And well, I should say this.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: It does not help you from a financial standpoint to cut him.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It also does not help you on the field to cut him, because I think he is, as much as no one wants him on the field as a starter for the Jaguar this year, I think he proved he is a good and versatile backup at Tackle and Guard.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really like some of what he put out there at guard this year.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe someone would trade for him.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there are teams that are desperate for offensive line play.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look at the Cleveland Browns.
• 7:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think you look at Devon Hamilton as a Cleveland.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: These are guys that the Jack Wars can convert
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Boy A as well, Eric Armstead as well.
• 7:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So like all the guys that could be post-June one candidates could also be restructure candidates.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's real simple execution type stuff.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence and Josh Hines Allen, it's bigger numbers.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you'd actually have to go and like work that out with their representation.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there's no reason to not.
• 8:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: agreed to do things like that to help the football team.
• 8:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't hurt you, money-wise at all.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that's where we're at.
• 8:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jaguar started to make money moves getting ready for free agency.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It kicks off really on Monday, March 9th, legal tampering period opens.
• 8:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can officially agree to trades and signing players and all that good stuff on Wednesday, March 11th.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, it's going to be a very exciting week, just seeing what the Jaguar has have cooking.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the James Lads Stone is going to get something done that surprises people.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be aggressive.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, I'm ready for it.
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here for it, ready for it.
• 8:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Want the Jaguar to be all in for 2026.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can be all in for 2026 without really negatively impacting your future, 2027 and beyond, as well.
• 9:07
