Jaguars LT Cam Robinson traded to the Vikings

Here's how I see it. The O Line is good enough to make a deep run again. You have 4 studs and a questionable left tackle. You can work around that. It's not as if half the line is decimated by injuries and we are playing backups.
An immediate need becomes CB2 which was exposed against the faid and will be further exposed against Allen, Stroud or even Wilson. That's where a guy like Lattimore can be had for a 3rd. He fills an immediate hole and makes the defense complete.

What am I missing here? Lattimore has cap numbers of $31.4 and $28.5 the next 2 years, I seriously doubt they're adding a cornerback at that price.

The team that trades for him isn't eating his signing bonus proration. It'll be about $21.5 per.

It's his "this year" that's really attractive given he's at least a good solid starter and can look like a top 3 CB when he brings his best, he just isn't consistent.

Damn, that's high as hell. Not happening then. Veach would have to pull up a move similar to the one Buffalo did last year with Rasul Douglas.

We can get by with one weak link on the OL. Especially with Mahomes pocket mobility.


But for that compensation I would have been awfully tempted.


Still want a cheap press cover corner for the run.
