What's going on, guys?

What's happening?

I like both of those things.

I like the fact that Trayvon Walker is locked up, and I like the fact that the guys are scheduled to get back to work in a couple weeks.

Yeah, and I think this continues the theme of the guys that the Jaguars have re-signed to lucrative deals have been their kind of guys, meaning the guys who not only are really great football players, but the character is exemplary.

And with Trayvon Walker, one of the hardest-working guys in the building, a guy who's a stand-up guy.

Whenever things go wrong, he's the first to take accountability if he has a part in it, but also the steady growth that he has made as the number one overall pick who was really –

drafted and forced to play a different position because he was drafted as a projection as a defensive end as opposed to playing his natural spot.

And he's only produced two seasons with 10-plus sacks.

He has 27 on his career.

He's been really effective whenever he's played off the edges.

And to me, he is a critical building block

on a defense that played at a lights out level, really excited that he was able to get paid.

But I'm also excited that in terms of the number that a Jaguars agreed to 27 and a half million annually puts them 12 amongst edge rushers.

It puts them in that same category with Brian Burns, Trey Hendrickson right there at 28.

Josh Heinz Allen is a little above him.

So to me,

you're able to have a win-win where you paid him for what he's done, but you didn't kind of overextend yourself on a player who hasn't quite gotten to that elite level when it comes to the production and the performance.

Yeah, I think what was interesting in reading some of the things and the quotes and Liam and Trayvon talking about how Liam kind of put that Aaron Donald thing in terms of being disruptive, not in terms of the comparison as a player or the position, but in terms of what it feels like to have to go against somebody like that every day in practice.

to be consistently disruptive to the point that you have to throw them out of practice so your offense can go work.
