With the emergence of Cole and Westbrook, I don't see the Jags breaking the bank for Robinson if his asking price is too high (even coming off the ACL injury). I think the Jags let Lee walk, although I don't see teams falling over themselves to sign him.
I think the market for Lee will be pretty strong. He looks like he has turned the corner the last 2 years, even with Bortle's inconsistent play. As a 49er fan I would be happy to see them sign Lee or Robinson. I would think that Jacksonville will try to get a discount on Robinson because of the injury, but not too sure Robinson won't find a big offer from another team. It looked to me like Robinson wants to move on, he seemed very frustrated with Bortles play, both last season and during this years preseason.
Heard they want to bring both of them back and want AR on a 1-year "prove it" deal. I hope he's smart and just leaves, even with a new QB I don't think that coaching staff is great when it comes to offense. Also, AR, Lee, Dede, Hurns, Cole, too many mouths to feed. If they resign Lee or AR I would assume Hurns gets cut. That was a dumb deal when they signed it.
Didn't realize Robinson was 6'3", 220 lbs. Yeah he might be a good fit in San Francisco.
Where'd you hear that?
Just checked PFR, you're correct for the regular season. They ran 31 times to 23 passes vs But last week. Not sure how many of Bortles 10 carries were designed but he is one of the more mobile QBs in the league, so if he leaves the ratio could shift a little more.
There isn't a team in the league that cares about this. This is purely a FF thing. If they can get them all in for the money they want them at they will.
Shocking. I thought you had to have read the stats wrong. ESPN shows them 6th ranked, but even that is shocking, had no idea they moved the ball that well.
Hurns would get cut for the money, not because they have too many usable WRs.

Jags have a good running game and a great defense. They are a competent QB away from being a super bowl favorite and they have tons of cap space. With several solid veteran QBs likely hitting the market this year (cousins, Eli) it seems almost unfathomable that they'd be rolling out bortles again next year unless something crazy happens like them winning the super bowl this year.
Im rooting for SF, and Dal mostly for him. Oak, and Indy are darkhorse landing spots that could be nice
Fair enough. My opinion is still that I'd prefer that he leave Jax. Most of the issue was probably Bortles, but its made me sour on the whole situation. Also, it appears that they're going to still be a run-heavy, defensive minded team next year, usually that doesn't work out great for the WRs.Mr. Brownstone said:
I agree.
49ers is all of our dream landing spot I think, my worry would be how much of that massive cap space is going to be left after they sign Jimmy G? Maybe Hyde too.
Incorrect. My dream landing spot is the Steelers. He'd be the outside WR across from AB with Juju in the slot, Bell at RB, and McDonald at TE. The offense would be unstoppable.
49ers have $110M, even a franchise tag or huge contract for JG will barely make a dent in their cap space. They should be big players for WR's, Corners, and interior linemen. The question is just how many of those positions they splurge on and which players at those positions do they go after?
they might be happy with their WR - Garcon.Goodwin Taylor. draft someone. I don't think they need to spend in FA to have an effective WR core
But with a pretty strong WR free agency class, a boatload of money, and trying to convince Garoppolo to sign a long-term deal, why settle for just effective?
Yes, going to be hard to know exactly how they are prioritizing things until we get to March. They may not even know themselves until after the combine and they look closer at the prospects out there. If they don't sign a big ticket FA at WR like Watkins or ARob then they are in a spot in the draft to take their favorite rookie WR off the board. If they don't resign Hyde, then maybe they are angling for Barkley. My total guess would be they will be hard after one of Trumaine Johnson or Malcolm Butler if the Pats let him go. Andrew Norwell at guard seems a likely target for them as well. After that? Only the 49ers brass likely knows at this point.
I don’t know if I’d take the 1.02 and Robinson for Barkley so that’s not even close for me
Hard to imagine them replacing a guy who got them within a few minutes of the Super Bowl, although I'm sure he won't have too long of a long leash given that the team will have high aspirations next year.
This is a really good point and needs to be taken into account if he remains with the Jags.
Nothing to this article- may as well just say “jags might franchise Robinson but who knows?”. Beat writer speculating that they should franchise him, based on the fact that he’s probably the best wr on the team.
He was moderately better than Mark Sanchez and Rex Grossman in the years they went to the conference championship, with the difference being that Bortles had a really good running game and was typically passing in favorable situations off of play action.
And this would be a team that could support cousins, who can succeed with a good team around him.
