Jaguars are not picking up LT Kelvin Beachum's option, sources say. So like Ryan Clady, he's headed to the free-agent market
Was awful with the Jags last year, but was really strong with the Steelers for a few years before that.
Or they are also buyers in FA with a shit ton of cap space.
Oh yeah, like who exactly? The only FA starter who would be a clear upgrade is 35 and they won't risk going into the draft without an upgrade at tackle.
Opinions mixed. They acknowledge that PFF killed Beachum in ratings but some fans didn't think he was all that bad. Also possibility mentioned of his being brought back on restructured deal.

You've been around the block, do you really believe Reese is going to give up on Flowers or is he throwing out a smoke screen to keep the heat off?
Unless they just found out Flowers has an incurable learning disability, I can imagine they don't continue to mold him and I really don't think LT is a concern for Reese at all.
Too many other spots to fill to admit he blew a 9th overall pick.
Spell check
As did the Tuna from whom he learned..

I can only say that I pay attention when Reese speaks. He was still digging in on Flowers at mid-season but tune changed somewhat at wrap up time.
More likely he stays at LT but shift to another position would not shock. He will start somewhere though.
That would make it sound like he was all for a guy like Flowers.
How many teams have their OL "solved"? Honest question...Seems like a lot of teams are struggling on the OL..Look at the Colts for Christ sakes..
That's much easier said than done.
Problem is - as we learned last year - you need more than money, you need players available on the FA market.
League wide, just like QB, the LT problem isn't easily solved via FA.
You mean guys like David Diehl, Rich Seubert, and Kevin Boothe?
round selections . We have one player with great strength
who should not play LT next season .
Exactly what makes following the personnel moves and coaching/front office philosophy shifts of teams not wearing blue so interesting. Seeing a competitive Jaguars roster made in the TC/BP/Whatever you want to call it mold just added another great story to follow in the NFL.
I guess because it's TC, we'll be spared the 'who gives a shit' comments when somebody posts about the Jags playing on a Thursday night.

To be fair, that's three players in an 11-12 year period. And the the times they tried since those three, they didn't get a single NFL player, much less a starter.

I'm a big Coughlin fan, but you are using poor examples in this argument.
David Diehl was a starter before Coughlin showed up starting all 16 games his rookie year. Can't really give credit for his development to Coughlin.
Rich Seubert started all 16 games two years before Coughlin came to the Giants. Can't really give him credit for that one either.
Kevin Boothe was a starter for Oakland before being signed to the Giants as a Free Agent. Can't really give Coach Coughlin credit for developing him either.
