Great article on teams facing decisions that could impact the jags free agent class. Deadline to tag is today.

Olivier Vernon receieved the transition tag today. This could be pretty good news for Jax...

Miami is strapped for cash, so Jax could put together a contract that is super heavy front-loaded preventing Miami from matching. Vernon would get paid, the contract would work well for us because it wouldn't hurt us once Bortles, A-Rob, and Telvin are up for extensions, and we price out Miami.

Vernon should be our number 1 target this FA.

I was hoping they would use the transition tag or not tag him at all. This is good news.
