J.P. Shadrick

You do have to kind of do it and take kind of like the time.

teal-colored glasses off and look at him in comparison to some of the top backs in the league.

And there's a price point that you know you can't exceed.

$13 million was going to be too much for the Jaguars.

And so that's why you encourage him to sign that deal because it's a great one for him.

And he might be able to do it in that offense with Kellen Moore.

I just think for the Jags, with so much money tied into the quarterback,

You just want to make sure that you're able to kind of allocate the resources correctly to ensure that number 16 has what he needs, not only in the backfield, but on the perimeter.

You know, surprisingly, looking at the contract, I know there's an expectation that he may really, really, really break the bank.

That money is like solid for who he is and what he's been able to do throughout his career.

He's a really good player.

Last year was his best year, made a ton of big plays for the Jaguars.

Anthony Campanile and those guys found a way to really unlock his talent, used him a lot as a pass rusher on blitzes and those things, reduced his load and coverage, and he played well.

He's another good guy in the locker room.

We love talking to him.

We talk about professionalism.

He had that.

So you wish him well.

He was another guy that was a great contributor, but I think there was a price point that you weren't going to exceed to bring him back.

Well, I think a lot of teams would have made that move with an eye towards the draft class.
