  [SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville jackwars fans welcome in to do wall daily presented by jing jack.com and fuel by brass tax coffee here it is folks the Jacksonville jackwars have extended tied in Britain strange contract three year extension worth up to 20 excuse me worth up to 48 million 25 million guaranteed
• 0:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to talk about that here right now very excited that Britain Strangers locked in through 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029.
• 0:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to break down like the basics of what this contract outline kind of.
• 0:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: kind of looks like at this point and there will be more details that are revealed.
• 0:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Tom Pelacero originally reporting this.
• 0:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, fired up for it.
• 0:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all tuning in.
• 0:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you enjoy the content here, please like and subscribe.
• 0:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can also hit that high button.
• 0:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's all jacks all the time.
• 0:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Britain strange again, three years up to 48 million, 25 million guaranteed.
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: So what that tells me is,
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Two years, basically, two years guaranteed at 12 and a half million per year.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: And beyond that, beyond that second year, so beyond 2028, probably able to get out of that contract if you want to if you're the Jaguars and save a big chunk of salary cap space.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I would also say, when it comes to the three years up to 48 million,
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The base right now is probably three years and 30s, 37 and a half-ish million.
• 1:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, like 12 and a half million per year, but up to 48 million means, you know, 48 divided by three.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm no math major here.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: My calculator is 48 divided by three is 16 per year.
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would imagine, and this is purely speculation, that it's gonna be difficult for Britain's strange to get that 16 million per year.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because right now, if he was able to earn 16 million per year, that would put him.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: The third highest paid tie-dend in the NFL, by almost a million dollars per year, over Kyle Pitts.
• 2:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: But as things currently stand, again, two years, 25 million guaranteed, you're basically talking about a base salary of 12.5 million per year.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: They just got him for the same price as Cole Comet, the same price as Jake Ferguson, per year.
• 2:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: The same price, actually cheaper than Dalton Schultz, cheaper than Mark Andrews, cheaper than Isaiah likely cheaper than Kyle Pitz.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But again, if he earns those incentives, you're happy, because you're having a tight and probably produce at a top five level, like who knows what the incentives are, to get to the 48 million, right?
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we know the base is 25 million guaranteed, so that's two years and 12 and a half million basically is what it sounds like to me.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of the basic contract details that we know at this point.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: There will be more revealed in the coming days and weeks.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Certainly we'll find out more about that from the different insiders that deal with contracts, you know, over the cap, et cetera, but beyond the contract.
• 3:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Beyond the numbers and the salary cap implications and all that stuff, which tied in 12 and a half million dollar base salary.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: to me as a steel.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the Jaguars have a ton of cap flexibility with different players heading into 2027.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: This new money will not hit until 2027.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And one thing you have to keep in mind is the Jaguars are probably doing a pretty large pro-rated signing bonus over the length of the contract that will help with the salary cap hit as well.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: So the
• 4:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the salary cap hit probably ain't going to be real big until 2027, 2028.
• 4:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And even then, you know, a highly priced tight end is much cheaper than, you know, a top fly wide receiver or a past brochure or a brochure, right, tackle, left tackle, etc.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: You name it, right?
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: So a relative value in my opinion for what he brings to the team and what he does bring to the team at 25 years old.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: We'll not turn 26 until December 27th.
• 4:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Born in 2000, 2023, second round pick.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: What he brings to the team is a physicality, toughness, a edge, he plays with an edge.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: He plays out there with the type of edge that kind of, I don't know if I want to say he instills fear in his opponent, but if you are not prepared for physicality, if you are not prepared for a big hit, he will put you on your butt as a blocker in space.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: As a ball carrier.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that, that edge that he brings is huge on the field for the Jaguars.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, like, when Lee Quentin Allen is on the field, is a running back.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think strange is overall a more talented, tied-end than Lequent Allen is a running-back.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But those two guys, when they are out there, they have a violence and edge and aggressiveness, that dog mentality to their game that I think is magnetic and it's infectious for the rest of the guys out there.
• 5:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really believe that's wrongly about his game, which I love.
• 5:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then you talk about the fact
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: really darn good receiving tight end.
• 6:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Extremely efficient, but also explosive.
• 6:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, when targeted over the last couple years he's caught like 75% of his targets with a drop rate of 5% contested catch rate of 52 and a half percent.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Last year, despite missing several weeks, still had 48 catches for 549 yards and three touchdowns, and that is in an offense where you are spreading the wealth.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have Jacobi Myers, Brian Thomas Jr., Parker Washington, Britain Strange.
• 6:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Travis ETN was catching a lot of passes out of the backfield last year too.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So those numbers, his numbers with the Jaguars are probably never going to be
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: top of the NFL, at least with the current roster construction the Jaguars have, because they just have so many good receivers to spread the wealth around to.
• 7:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's fine, like, you know, he's getting paid very handsomely, right?
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: At 12 and a half million dollars per year, if that's what we're kind of the number we're going with as a base salary, you're talking about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
• 7:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: among tight ends, which personally, obviously you've got a couple guys on rookie contracts still, young guys that are really talented players, but I would take him over Kyle Pitz, Isaiah Lightley, Mark Andrews, Dalton Schultz, all getting paid more than him right now.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now George Kittle obviously up there in age, but when he's healthy and on it, best time at him football right now, Traimic Bride is top two or three receiving tight end in football right now, but the balance that Britain strange brings to your offense.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the Jaguars are excited.
• 8:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: They went and got Nate Borkerture.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It gave me a little bit of pause.
• 8:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: It made me a little worried, you know, maybe because they drafted Borkerture
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: They drafted Tanner Coziel, maybe they thought they could roll into the 2026 season without signing Britain's strange, which I did not want them to do.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if they rolled into the season without signing him, they could still sign him during the season.
• 8:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: We saw them sign multiple players during the season last year.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It wouldn't be like it's all said and done.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the players that the Jack Wars
• 8:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: did sign during the season last year and did sign or extend earlier this year.
• 8:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were all premium position guys.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cole Van Lannon at left tackle.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jacob, we might as that wider receiver.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Trablem Walker during the off season this year at Edge, right?
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: uh... buster brown bringing him back at corner another premium position so it's like man they were really going to kind of test it with with britain stranger no they're not because he's the type of player that i think embodies what it means to be a jack war kind of embodies their culture that they have instilled and are current and are uh... certainly looking to continue here in jacks um... and
• 9:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And bodies, the kind of like FU mindset that I love because, you know, excuse my language there and obviously didn't actually do it, but Jacksonville, as a city, the Jack Wars, as a franchise, constantly disrespected, Britain strange, he was disrespected by a lot of folks.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: When he was drafted, he was disrespected throughout his rookie season during training camp, all that stuff.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, in behold, he's one of the fan favorites in Jacksonville.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's, you know, a highly paid tie-in now who has earned every penny that he got from the jag wars.
• 10:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And could earn potentially up to $16 million per year on average over the length of this contract.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: If he ends up hitting all those incentives, which I imagine it would be difficult to do.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: But even if he doesn't, he is getting paid a lot.
• 10:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's getting paid a lot.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so very excited for him.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Very excited for the jag war.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's keeping him around.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now you have
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I talked about this earlier this week.
• 10:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have a tight end core of Britain's strange, Nate Borkercher, and Tanner Koziel.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's something to get excited about.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's something to get said about.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's going to be for the next, you know, his contract goes through, again, 27, 28, 29, Borkerter's rookie deal goes through 26, 27, 28, 29, and so does Coziel.
• 10:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: So those guys are locked up through 20, 29 if you want them to be.
• 10:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I think the Jaguar's will have a team out following the 28 season for Britain Strange.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: but you've got a group at tight end, I think, to get excited about.
• 11:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think they could say that beyond Britain's strains last year.
• 11:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So let me know how you're feeling about this one in the comment section below.
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, I'm fired up very excited.
• 11:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've always been a big fan of the way Britain's strange attacks things.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: His mindset is maturity and the edge he plays with.
• 11:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he's just become a really, really good all around player.
• 11:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So again, let me know what you think in the comment section below.
