He was suspended by the NFL for gambling 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: and set out the entire twenty twenty two season. The 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: Jaguars traded for his rights just before the trading deadline 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: last season, and he was reinstated by the league Monday. 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: By Wednesday, he was in the building getting his bearings, 16 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: and he also sat down with Bucky Brooks an exclusive 17 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: conversation on Jaguars dot Tom. After a year away from 18 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: the NFL, what is it like to be a part 19 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: of a team again. H First of all, year away 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: from the NFL puts a lot of things in perspective 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: for a young man like me. But um, year away 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: from the game, um, and coming back now, it is 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: just it shows me I missed the game more than 24 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: ever and that I love football more than ever and 25 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: football was something that I do and love and will 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: always be what I love. You know, So um like 27 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: knowing you like, I know football is always been big, 28 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: but like the year away from it. Um, you know 29 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 1: you're talking about falling back in love with the game, 30 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: Like how did you come to the realization of falling 31 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: back in love? Well, just watching that happen, to watch 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: it happen, to watch it at home and knowing I 33 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: really can't there's nothing I can do to get back 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: into the game until I get approval, you know, so 35 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: that you know, being again the game being picking away 36 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: from me, and I was just like, man, I can't 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: even I can't sit home all day. You know, I 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: need a job. I mean what I do is I 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: always worked every day. Football was my job for most 40 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: of my life. So that was the hardest part of 41 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: just not being ever to run and you know, be 42 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: a part of a team and you know, feel important 43 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,679 Speaker 1: at that moment. So it was hard. So and thinking 44 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: about that, Like, because as football players, we all are 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: a part of the team. The team is everything. We 46 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: grow up being on teams. It's always team over me. 47 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: So what did you miss most about being a part 48 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: of the team. Just getting up, the preparation to prepare 49 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean working out, I mean having a reason to 50 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: work out, and preparing the working out for Sunday, getting 51 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 1: up driving my car to work early in the morning. 52 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: I missed every bit of it. I mean I missed 53 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 1: every every second of you know, what I did to 54 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: prepare for Sundays. You know, so it's been a while, 55 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: Like you haven't playing the game since like October twenty 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: twenty one. What is it gonna be like for you 57 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: when you finally run out there as part of the Jacks. Uh, 58 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing for my mom, for my family. 59 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: For me, it's just gonna and being I wait off 60 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: my shoulders because I waited so long to get back 61 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: to this point and just you know, I be excited 62 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: to run through that tunnel and you know, show every 63 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar fan who I am. The full conversation with 64 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley available on the official team website Jaguars dot 65 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: Com later in the week. Reaction to the addition. On 66 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Thursday, NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger 67 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: joined Jeff Logerman and me to discuss what Ridley could 68 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: bring to the Jags offense. I think this and I 69 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: think I heard it. I think we all heard it 70 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: in that sound bite, very contrite about what he's done. 71 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 1: He's been humbled and he's missed the game. And I 72 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: think that wide receiver room was pretty good. You know, 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk had an amazing year. Nobody thought, you know, 74 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: when they signed him to this time last year, that 75 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: he was going to be that productive. Zay Jones was 76 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: just a complete pro, Marvin the whole group. I think 77 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: he's going to fit in. And if they say, you 78 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: know this, Travis CTN could hit home runs. If our 79 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: wide receivers are the way they are capable of downfield, 80 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: I think he'll do whatever it takes to fit in 81 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: and to be a part of the group. And I 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: don't think he'll be any kind of an outlier when 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: it comes to that. Baldi. He told the Players Tribute 84 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: in a letter that he played a lot of those 85 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: successful seasons with a broken foot. I mean they kept 86 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: shooting him up and putting him out there, and then 87 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: they had a change in staffs and they after quickly 88 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: realized that it was broken. So that shouldn't be an issue. 89 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: If you just putting up the numbers in the past 90 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: with a broken foot, I mean, that's a good sign 91 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: for the future ahead. Well, he's just a good player. 92 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you go back to two nineteen twenty twenty, 93 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: he might even with Julio Jones healthy, he was the 94 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 1: number one wide receiver in Atlanta, and you can see why. 95 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: I mean they've put you know, teams put their best 96 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: corner on him. He beat the best corner. And that's 97 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: really what it comes down to. If you're gonna be 98 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver, you better be able to 99 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: beat number one corners. There's a bunch of good ones 100 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: in this league. We saw a couple of rookies coming 101 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: to this league last year and light it up. They're 102 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: only getting bigger, they're only getting longer, they're only getting faster, 103 00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: and you've got to be able to beat him. He 104 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: can be him with his release, he can beat him 105 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 1: with his route running, you know, and he can flat 106 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: out run by people. You watch him against Marshawn Lattimore 107 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: and some of the elite corners of this league. I mean, 108 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: he can hold his own I think with anybody, and 109 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: so I think that Jackiel did their homework. I think 110 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: they got the right type of guy. And I just 111 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: think anybody, especially as young as he is, that's been 112 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: humbled at this point in his career, I don't think 113 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: you're going to see any kind of issues from you. 114 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: More from Jaguars Happy Hour coming up.

We 139 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: continue with Jaguars Happy Hour Radio again from Thursday and 140 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,799 Speaker 1: tied end. Evan Ingram was franchise tagged by the Jags 141 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: logoman and I got into a discussion of what that 142 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: means moving forward. Evan Ingram tweeted after the fact, Hey, 143 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 1: he's excited to be back in Jacksonville, but is looking 144 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: forward to a long term deal with the Jaguars. So 145 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: it could be just a placeholder, and that's fine. It 146 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: could be. Um. Look that the tag is convenient to 147 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,559 Speaker 1: use at a couple of different positions fullback, running back, 148 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: tight end, guard and center. The tag is not very 149 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: expensive at those positions, and kicker and punter. Okay, but 150 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: I was just focusing on offense. Yes, yeah, the premium 151 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: positions on offense obviously are quarterback, wide receiver, tackle, and 152 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: so the opportunity to use the tag to ensure that 153 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: you're going to keep one of your core players and 154 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: to continue to work on a contract extension. I'm a 155 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of the tag. I wish 156 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: the h the league would do away with it. Why Well, 157 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: I think it penalizes some players. I mean, why should 158 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram not have the same ability to test the 159 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: market like a Juwan Taylor? Is that fair to Evan Ingram? 160 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: So I think it And when it was originally done, 161 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: it was kind of a give and take obviously in 162 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: the negotiations and collective bargaining, because you wanted to allow 163 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: the owners to be able to keep some of their 164 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: teams together. That was their main concern, and so the 165 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: ability to use the tag was to help them kind 166 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: of keep certain players well. It penalizes certain players on 167 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: the opposite spectrum when you look at it from the 168 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: player standpoint. But look, I'm glad that he's here. I'm 169 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: extremely happy to see his response. Yes, I mean, it's 170 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,719 Speaker 1: that just goes to show you how mature and how 171 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: much of a pro evan Ingram is because there's a 172 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: lot of guys that could have responded in a very 173 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: derogatory way, and it's been consistent with him that the 174 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: clean out day, the two days after the loss in 175 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: the divisional round, we were in the locker room with 176 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 1: him and ask him, Hey, you know what if they 177 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 1: franchise you, would you be upset. He's like, you know, hey, 178 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be I want a longer deal. But if 179 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: that's a placeholder for something longer, okay, that's fine. So um, 180 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: he betted himself with this one year deal to come 181 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: down here, and it's worked out, obviously for eleven million 182 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: dollar franchise tag at least. I think it just goes 183 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: to show you that he's the type of person that 184 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: you do that you do want to do a long 185 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: term deal. With because of the maturity level of the 186 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: response that he had with the tagging. I thought that 187 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: that was tremendous And when I saw that, I was like, 188 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: you know that, I wasn't surprised because that's just how 189 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: Evan is. I mean, he's a very mature player. He 190 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: works hard and total pro and that's why you brought 191 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: him in here. He's very similar to Zay Jones. He's 192 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: very similar to Christian Kirk. You know last year's free 193 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: agent class. I mean, Trent Balking and Look and Doug 194 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: the straight a's on that free agent class, especially when 195 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: it comes to the character category. I mean, fantastic. Jaguar's Happy. 196 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: Our Radio here's Thursday at four o'clock on ten ten 197 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: xl AM and Jaguars dot Com. We were out this 198 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: week with Jags Drivetime. Tuesday, Brian Sexton and John Osan 199 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: discussed the different offseason feeling for the Jags with little 200 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: room on the salary cap and a late first round 201 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: draft pick. In short, John, last week in Indianapolis was 202 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: a different experience covering the draft then you've had with 203 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: the number one draft pick the last couple of years. Yeah, 204 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time it feels like maybe 205 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, which makes sense because you won, was the 206 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: last time you really had a a newsless offseason. And 207 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: I say, there's obviously news, but in terms of not 208 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: building up to a big splash. In nineteen you had 209 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: Nick Foles. In twenty you were releasing a lot of guys, 210 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, or trading a lot of guys, but then 211 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: active in free agency the last couple of years. We've 212 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: been talking about it all year that this was coming 213 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: a quieter, more maintaining free agency period. It's what you 214 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: have to have. And I think Trent would probably laugh 215 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: when he said not spending very much money because they're 216 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: spending money on their own guys, and they're restructuring guys, 217 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: means they're paying out signing bonuses. They're trying to get 218 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: a deal done with Evan Ingram that would be signing. 219 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: You know, teams can be active in freedency and not 220 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 1: active over other people's players. You're still trying to win, 221 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: You're still trying to do it. But the reality is 222 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: you can't live long term and have any continuity doing 223 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 1: what they've done the last couple of years. I mean, 224 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: Trent Ball could be the first to say the approach 225 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: of the last couple of years was by necessity and 226 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: because there was no other choice. The remarkable thing, Brian, 227 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: is that they managed to build what feels like a 228 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: core doing it that way. That's very rare. But you've 229 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: got to pull off of that and get into what 230 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: they're doing. Now. Hey, we should touch on the fact 231 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: that it was reported last week that the Jaguars we're 232 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: going to be willing to use the franchise tag on 233 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. In fact, Trent Bulky said that at a 234 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: season ending press conference in January, and today we know 235 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: that they're going to apply the tag. It's the deadline, 236 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: but it's not the deadline to get a deal done, 237 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: a long term, cap friendly deal. They've got plenty of 238 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: time to get that done. July fifteenth is the deadline 239 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, you wonder, and they understandably don't talk 240 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: about this publicly. If you get a long term deal 241 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: done with Evan Ingram, then you can bring that initial 242 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: cap figure way down from the eleven million. I don't 243 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: know exactly why it helps you if you want to 244 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: try to get you on Taylor done, which is why 245 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: there's probably a concertive effort to get that done in 246 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: the next week. Yeah, and then with Juwan Taylor, the 247 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: cap figure if they franchise and would be eighteen. It 248 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: doesn't feel like that's in the water to do. But 249 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: if you get a long term deal done, it's very possible. 250 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: You get both cap figures low enough in the initial 251 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: and then start pushing stuff out. There's going to be 252 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: decisions down the road based on these things. But for 253 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: right now, I think they're good shape. It's just a 254 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: matter can they make the Juan Taylor deal get done. 255 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm not feeling it, but we'll see. And everything, by 256 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 1: the way, is filtered through the lens of the quarterback, 257 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: who they can redo after next season. And when I 258 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,199 Speaker 1: say I'm not feeling with Juan, I think they want 259 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: him back. Well, yeah, everybody would love him back. I'm 260 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: just saying in terms of getting it done that it's 261 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: tricky because many talks. If you're Juwan, you're interested in 262 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: what the market bears, because offensive tackles are among the 263 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: highest paid players in the National Football League in recent season. 264 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: Jack Strifetime Here is Tuesday mornings on Jaguars dot Com 265 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: and Jags Social media. That's it for this week. Coming 266 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: up next week, it's busy. The negotiation period ahead of 267 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: free agency is early in the week and then the 268 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: start of the twenty twenty three league year Wednesday at 269 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: four o'clock Eastern time. That's when free agency opens, and 270 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: though there could be some action for the Jags, it 271 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: likely won't be the big waves of early signings as 272 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: in the last couple of years. Still, check out all 273 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the coverage on Jaguars dot com and Jags social media. 274 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: Enjoy the week and thanks for listening.
