0:00Jacksonville Jaguars fans welcome in to do vault daily presented by ginjag.com. It's Friday, March 6th right now We are talking about the Jaguars making some money moves. This is you know Very expected absolutely expected the Jaguars to have some news today on the salary cap front and that's what we're seeing There could be a lot of news today from the Jacksonville Jaguars, but so far what we have from spot rack Is the Jaguars Restructuring a couple contracts. They have clear paths to restructure a lot more contracts basic restructures They don't even have to like Negotiate or deal with the agents or anything like that. It's very simple Restructures. There's a bunch of those. So we're gonna dive into it really appreciate y'all tuning in if you enjoy the content Please like and subscribe you can also check out ginjag.com pick up some new Duval gear like the hat. I am wearing right now Helps support the channel look good while doing it. You can also hit that hype button So the Jags converted $9.2 million of Patrick McCarrie's salary into signing bonus
1:07Adding three void years clearing $7.36 million of cap space very simple Operation there. All you're doing is taking salary from this year Converting into a signing bonus and adding three void years This is what we've been talking about all offseason with these guys So that clears $7.36 million of cap space They also converted $4.2 million of Eric Murray's 2026 salary into signing bonus and adding three void years clearing $3.36 million of cap space And I know everybody can kind of get Uptight about void years Look the cap is rising and these void years are going to be negligible Against the cap in the future It's not gonna be a big deal James Gladstone these guys they know exactly what they're doing They know how this works. They know how to operate a NFL organization. So the Jaguars effectively cleared
2:13$10.72 million in cap space this morning I think more is to come absolutely They can make cuts as well To save some money like the guys that I personally have been eyeing as real potential cut candidates Chuma edoga The Jaguars would save 2.876 million against the cap by cutting Chuma edoga to me He is like the weakest link on your offensive line. You could easily upgrade that cheaper via the draft That's that's my thinking on that um and then a guy like Johnny Munt who Again, I just I want more. I want more Quentin Morris is back Britain strangers. You're tied in one. I want more At the tight end spot The the Jaguars could save 2.7 million dollars by
3:16cutting Johnny Munt With only 500,000 in dead cap so pretty good deal there I'm into that um hunter long I don't know that you want to cut two tight ends Right, I don't know that you want to go down that road But he would save you 1.3 million 1.38 million With 1.37 and dead money so makes more sense money-wise to cut Johnny Munt Look nothing personal. It's just about managing the salary cap with these guys, right So those are those are big candidates for me When you talk about post-June 1 cuts which the Jaguars could get into that world as well There's a number of players that make sense But you do not get that salary cap relief until after June 1st So it does not help you with the initial wave of free agency But it could help you execute trades. It could help you sign your draft class There is value to it, right?
4:17Eric Armstead would save the Jaguars 14.48 million dollars As a post-June 1 cut That seems possible, right Personally, I want the Jaguars to be going all in on their defensive line And I think having Eric Armstead helps you win football games as a rotational player expensive rotational player but you know It's cost of doing business and and this this regime is not who signed Eric Armstead, right? A foe a luikon that could save 10.25 million dollars as a post-June 1 cut I ain't cutting for you No chance in hell. I'm cutting for you, luikon Not doing it Devon Hamilton, they could save 8.4 As a post-June 1 cut Ezra Cleveland, they could save 9.2 as a post-June 1 cut Those are the ones that really kind of make a lot of sense Again I would like to keep all those guys I think the Jaguars need to be all in for 2026
5:20During Lowes Pro Savings days The job works in your favor My Lowes Pro rewards members buy more and save more Materials they rely on every day Get up to 25% off select molding When you spend $1,000 or more And up to 25% off per go ever craft laminate floor Put pro savings days to work for you Members give more at the lows Ballot through 3.27 selection periods by location While supplies last loyalty program subject to terms and conditions Visit the prodeskerlows.com slash terms for more details subject to change As far as other cap saving moves The Jaguars could make The Jaguars could convert a lot of Trevor Lawrence's Salary to signing bonus and add void years And get that cap number away now They could do the same thing with Josh Heinz Allen They could extend Trevon Walker Which could probably cut his 2026 cap hit In half
6:21You know as we're sitting here talking I do to make sure that there's no new Money moves being made by James Gladstone Company Right The Rams Extended Cam Curl Really good player Let's see here Yeah nothing else yet Coming down the pike for the Jaguars But I think that there will be more Um So the Jags could With several players Do the same thing that they've done with Patrick McAry and Eric Murray Like there's a bunch of guys on the list Like we don't need to go through every single one of them But there's More than a handful of players the Jaguars can convert Salary to signing bonus add void years clear cap space for 2026 Give themselves some flexibility to bring in Free agents to strike a trade To do whatever right
7:22That they can create the flexibility And People talk about Walker little as well quite a bit Walker little You can't cut him And well I should say this It does not help you from a financial standpoint to cut him It also does not help you On the field to cut him because I think he is As as much as no one wants him on the field as a starter for the Jaguars this year I think he proved he is a good in versatile backup at tackle and guard I really like some of what he put out there at guard this year Um Maybe someone would trade for him I mean there are teams that are desperate for offensive line play Look at the Cleveland Browns Maybe I don't know But I think you look at Devon Hamilton as Recleveland These are guys that the Jaguars can convert some salary to Signing bonus for sure
8:23Um FOIA as well Eric Armstead as well So like all the guys that could be post June 1 candidates could also be Restructure candidates And that's real simple execution type stuff Trevor Lawrence and Josh Heinz Allen It's bigger numbers I think you'd actually have to go and like work that out with their representation But it shouldn't there's no reason to not Agree to do things like that to help the football team It doesn't hurt you money wise at all So yeah That's where we're at Jaguar starting to make money moves getting ready for free agency It kicks off really on Monday March 9th Legal tampering period opens You can officially agree to trades and signing players and all that good stuff On Wednesday, March 11th So it's going to be a very exciting week Just seeing what the Jaguars have have cooking I think that James Gladstone is going to get something done that Surprised people He's going to be aggressive And so yeah, I'm ready for it
9:25Here for it ready for it want the Jaguars to be all in for 2026 You can be all in for 2026 without really Negatively impacting your future 2027 and beyond as well So let's see really appreciate y'all being here if you enjoy the content Please like and subscribe y'all have a good one
