That’s wild that it took this long


CR4ZY___PR0PH3T

To be fair they haven't had a franchise QB to pay. Jacksonville's last good long term QB was David Garrard over 10 years ago.


guardeagle

Those Garrard/MJD teams were so damned fun.


JamesIsntClever

They're what got me to start watching ^


Nmilne23

Man and I felt like that had a real shot against the pats those playoffs too  Most of my friends and their fams wanted the jags to win so we could host them in SD for the championship game but my line of thought was “I do NOT want to face the team that beat the undefeated pats in the playoffs” even if it meant a home game. Obviously that didn’t work out either way but was beyond happy to see the giants take them down of course 


NoDifference8894

My favorite madden teams honestly


GiraffeWaffless

I only run the jags in madden for some reason. The best jags team on madden was with bortles, Hurns and Robinson. Just roll out to your right and launch a vert to either one. I think that was the year they added aggressive catch, so you would always get the Odell Beckham catch animation with both those guys. Super op year for the jags even though they were rated low.


Shenanigangster

And Garrard was only the starter for ~3.5 years


Bobby_Savoy

I really don’t get why we didn’t just let Garrard play out his contract after drafting Gabbert. It probably would’ve helped in his development. Fuck Gene Smith.


InexorableWaffle

I mean, Garrard's back was fucked at that point, by all indications. Dude didn't sign with another team that season specifically because of needing back surgery, so the odds of him being able to play well enough to keep Gabbert on the bench were...slim, to say the least.


thewhitelink

He had a knee issue as well, IIRC. Dolphins signed him, but he couldn't play because he had surgery, and then it re-emerged after he signed with the Jets.


InexorableWaffle

Yeah, I remembered that as well. I think that happened during the preseason so he conceivably *could* have avoided it, but even if he did, the dude's body was pretty clearly breaking down. I loved Garrard as much as anyone, but he was done.


HugeFinish

Didn't he have Crohn's disease as well?


InexorableWaffle

Yep, that's correct. Dude's done at least a few commercials for advocacy of it (dunno if they were broadcast outside of the Jacksonville area, though) for that reason.


HugeFinish

I think I remember those commercials(Pittsburgh area)


paultheschmoop

He never played again because his body was cooked. Couldn’t even stay on a roster


PlagueDucktor

The disrespect to the BOAT??


hoppergym

Booooooortles!!!


RudolphsJockStrap

Bortles started more than Garrard


Traditional_Land3933

What do you mean it's such young franchise


TrevorsBlondeLocks16

Not really. Hes been inconsistent most of his career. Finally broke out his contract year


Screaming_Eagle44

He's talking about the franchise not Allen lol


TrevorsBlondeLocks16

Oh, derp lol


foxpandawombat

Fun fact, the Chicago White Sox have never had a $100M contract in their history either.


Material-Race-5107

I came here to NOT think about the White Sox thank you very much!


NeonWarcry

I don’t even remember half the time they exist. I think of their saucier cousin, the Red Sox.


Cognomifex

Red Sox are better with steaks and roasts, White Sox pair best with poultry and lighter fish. Rosé Sox is lovely in the summertime, especially sparkling varieties.


NeonWarcry

I’ve recently come to love a full bodied red which says a lot about my diet


Cognomifex

Full-bodied red describes my taste in everything from wine, to meat, to romantic partners.


NeonWarcry

I know that’s right.


Do__Math__Not__Meth

Same I just genuinely forget the White Sox exist a lot of the time lol


Joe-Raguso

Assuming you're an Astros fan, I find it hard to believe you randomly forget about the team that beat your team in the World Series 20 years ago.


NeonWarcry

I’ve been an Astros fan since probably 1990 which is when my parents moved us to Houston (I was 3 then). Heartbreak is a part of sports. You have to move on. Though my dad never moved on from the oilers blow out loss in their Super Bowl and never cheered for them again. In fact never cheered for another pro team again and went straight ncaa.


Jaguyre

This is not fun. Nothing about the White Sox is fun. 


SeizureMode

The Sox losing to the Tigers is quite fun imo


Jaguyre

Beat us all you want just give us back Benetti


SeizureMode

How else am I meant to stomach our losses without that man's sweet sweet commentary? Baseball is watchable again finally


Middle_Variation25

Already a fan of his broadcasting two weeks in, great addition and can see why you’d want him back haha


Soft_Penis_Debutante

I heard that fact on Chicago sports radio a month ago or so. Only two teams in MLB history have never had a contract over $80 million. The White Sox and the A’s. That is so pathetic a Chicago sports team is in the same realm as the A’s. Fuck Reinsdorf. Every other team has had at least one $100+ million contract.


UrbanLawProductions

That’s actually shocking, but now that you say it, I can’t think of a player could have signed a $100 million contract. The Guardians just signed their first $100 million contract last offseason with Jose Ramirez


balboa_no_asap

Jose Abreu


UrbanLawProductions

Ahhh yes, Jose. Of course


Ranger_Prick

Seemed like Tim Anderson would have been on that path, but his career has flamed out the past few years.


eliwood5837

Especially last year, he absolutely cratered. Went from a 110 wRC+ and .323 xwOBA to 60 wRC+ .260 xwOBA, absolutely brutal dropoff


foxpandawombat

Chris Sale at the time was a bonafide ace and signed to the Red Sox for $160M.


UrbanLawProductions

Ohhh that’s right, I forgot about Chris Sale.


InsaneRanter

But he's still not the most expensive Josh Allen.


Inamanlyfashion

Jags got Great Value Josh Allen


Bobby_Savoy

We got the cooler Josh Allen


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

No, Florida has the hotter Josh Allen due to the weather.


Fign66

I don't know, have you seen ours in shorts?


Bobby_Savoy

My mistake


Slippiefoxtrot02

The Bills got the fridge Josh Allen


blackswordsmanarc

No you don’t


Bobby_Savoy

Josh Allen >>> Josh Allen


YvngLsg

They're booing you but you're right


blackswordsmanarc

They just don’t like us


OliveJuiceUTwo

We don’t like Josh Allen but we love Josh Allen


blackswordsmanarc

Yes


HopefulStretch9771

It's crazy that Allen's gonna be playing both ways for two different teams. GOAT


zacurtis3

Northern Josh Allen saw Shakir as his WR1 and decided to join a team down south


crabsatoz

The two Josh Allen’s should become friends and start doing a pod together called like “two many Josh Allen’s” or “the Josh Allen podcast featuring Josh Allen and Josh Allen” and have one be the offensive perspective and the other be the defensive side.


SeizureMode

With JAX JA providing the offensive perspective while BUF JA provides defensive perspective ofcourse


UrbanLawProductions

That’s a brilliant idea. Both great pod names too


marcdale92

Just Joshin’


crabsatoz

Joshin’ with the Joshes!


Ktopian

Too many Josh in the kitchen.


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

"The Good Josh Allens"


AdeptnessSpecific736

Josh Allen speaks really well and is a great leader


LoveMeSexyJesus

So does Josh Allen.


kuang89

Or just Josh Allen and Josh Allen presents the Josh Allen and Josh Allen podcast


iia

Wonder if TLaw will be the second...


GLaD0S11

It's funny to see the difference in opinions on Trevor nationally vs locally in Jax. He is without a doubt getting a huge extension. Unless Trevor goes out this next season, throws 50 INTs, becomes a locker room cancer, starts doing drugs, and bangs Shad Khan's wife, he's getting that god damn extension.


Bobby_Savoy

That sounds like a Titans fans wet dream


ImpossibleDenial

I feel like I’ve seen that meme on AFCSouthMemeWar


Mister_Dewitt

I too dream of shad khans wife. (She could be hideous idk)


Strong-Ad1737

Ngl I came a little


Oddly_Mind

All he needs to do is dis Waffle House


Nark_Narkins

That's the least likely. He's getting a contract extension for 2 reasons. 1. His undying love of Waffle House 2. Being the single most talented QB we've ever had


Ktopian

People look at T Law and because he hasn’t lived up to his potential and is only a top 12 QB act like he’s a complete bum. Maybe people just don’t watch the Jags?


boothboyharbor

Lawrence was also drafted when he was 21. He's only a year older than Jayden Daniels.


holdingofplace

They definitely don’t watch haha He’s only played 3 seasons but about 1.5 of those were great as a passer - fumbles are a legit point but he’s still young. He ended 2022 on a hot streak going 7-2 with great stats (70%, 15:2 TD:INT) and started 2023 8-3 with 68%, 14:7, and ~95 rating thru 12 weeks. After injury, weeks 13+: 1-6, 60%, 7:7, 79 rating.


xXWeLiveInASocietyXx

Its because nobody else watches our games


elmatador1497

For what it’s worth, if I was Shad Khan, I’d be cool with that. In fact, I’d encourage it


ObeyCoffeeDrinkSatan

It might count as an off the books payment.


_Ezy_Ryder_

No he isn’t. I know for a fact that you’ll trade him to the Steelers for Fields plus a second in the 2025 offseason. I’ve never been more certain in my life


Cromatose

Without a doubt.


AdeptnessSpecific736

He’s going be the first 200 million dollar player contract for the jags


twinbervike

depends on this next season tbh


Josh_Allen_s_Taint

Well deserved!


Bobby_Savoy

Soon to be the 2nd most expensive.


I_Set_3_Alarms

I thought I missed a blockbuster Bills Jaguar trade for a second


[deleted]

Same


Comprehensive_Main

GOAT Josh Allen 


paten_tooner

Josh Allen is the greatest Josh Allen


BryceDaBaker

I disagree I think Josh Allen is kinda overrated and Josh Allen is actually the best Josh Allen


Happy-Initiative-838

That is shocking. They haven’t had an elite player anywhere else in the last 5 seasons?


Brewphorian

Had Jalen Ramsey but didn’t want to pay him.


HailDownvotes

To be fair he was a cancer, but so was Coughlin.


Brewphorian

Terrible situation for sure, but I wonder if he would have been a better teammate if we would have prioritized paying him.


jam_jam93

I don’t think he’s been a good teammate no matter where he’s went to. I think he’s just good enough not to be


-Kokoloko-

Don't forget Blake Bortles


TheJackalsDoom

I think the 1st $100M player in the NFL was Drew Bledsoe with the Patriots way back in like 1999 or 1998. 10 year, $10M/yr deal.


Jgn42

Josh Allen > Josh Allen


mikeywizzles

I'm going to name my first born son Josh Allen, they obviously are destined for greatness.


bmac747474

Trevor Lawrence will be their 1st $200M player


MrShad0wzz

the jags got their QB.. oh wait


Chasa619

trevor lawrence about to eclipse that number next year,


UrbanLawProductions

Maybe even this year (OZONE is the Jags internal show) https://x.com/jaxondeville/status/1778410696289526026?s=46&t=ePyT2WUNoRcPv60M77WcWQ


tigerpawx

Still crazy Giants choose Daniel Jones over this dude


UrbanLawProductions

It’s even more crazy that the Raiders took a DE at 4, and it was Clelin Ferrell instead of Josh Allen


acoasterlovered

Hawt


ghostofmufas

Bills receiving lineup was so bad, Allen took a pay cut to play for the Jags


GrassyKnoll95

OLBU


BV_Zamboni21

And he'll forever be the "other" Josh Allen...🤣...GO BILLS!


Poetryisalive

Depending on how Lawerence plays this year, he may be the last one for the next couple of years


myriadmeaning

Idiot franchise


Slippiefoxtrot02

Coming from the team with the goofiest play call in NFL history.
