#Jaguars have worked out their end of deal to acquire OT Branden Albert. Albert good playing for Jax. Now up to #Dolphins & TE Julius Thomas

all that remains to this trade is Julius accepting a restructured contract. If he plays ball and takes less, who could be mad at this trade?

If he makes trouble, cut Albert and call it a day.

Things could change at any moment before its official. Thomas decides he wont restructure or the BA physical doesnt go as well as Jags were expecting etc.
 
The restructure could be something like 6 million in 2017 but 4 million guaranteed instead of 3.

It wont be anything drastic although Miami should indeed set "their" parameters on this deal and negotiate this. And they have the time to do it.

Or Tunsil could slip in the shower anytime before March 9th. This time of year, I'm listening to Rappoport's words over all others.

Not sure I agree. Maybe Jax will have another name they can use instead of JT. Any ST guy, any backup LB, a R7 pick. Anything in trade is better than a release.
 
here's a quote from Omar's interview with BA.

Q: Why not force the issue (demanding a release instead of entertaining a trade offer)?

BA: Why ruffle feathers when you don't have to? Its the business of the game. I believe where I'm going is the right fit, and its going to be a surprise when it comes out. The terms, and everything.

It sounds like Branden was told up front that he'd be able to restructure to a better deal in Jacksonville. Perhaps he also holds Julius Thomas in high regard. Its apparent that he feels good about not only his future situation, but the compensation he was traded for. Also, it sounds like a done deal. Notice how quick things were wrapped up in Jax morning. They are confirming everything is good on their end and its not even 10 am.

If this trade goes down may reduce the chance Sims returns, since they told him they looked at him as a number one type TE, even though still thought they would upgrade. He would have resigned by the time they would have done that in the draft though.

What is Gase's philosophy with TE's? He doesn't view receivers as 1 and 2 but instead views them equally important and uses them to their skill sets. Does he see TE's the same? If so, bringing Thomas in may have no impact in how Gase wants to use Sims.

Omar is probably walking on sunshine since he was tied to a breaking news story. I'd love to know how he managed that. Maybe BA is friends with Omar?

Agree with the Gase part of the equation, its the Sims thinking that may change after the trade based on what they had told him.

They have other TE on the team that can block and I see Sims maybe moving looking for a better opportunity.

I'm certainly not an expert at evaluating players but IMO Sims is much more than a great blocker. Towards the end of last season he became a legitimate pass catching weapon. He's huge with good hands. I feel Gase has a vision for him being a key offensive threat in the offense. Sims and Thomas would be legitimate threats for defenses. Then you take those two and add the receivers, defenses will have trouble. Put Sims and Thomas in the red zone ... wow there's two big sets of hands for RT. I have no doubt Gase is sharing his vision with Sims.
 
Thomas cant in line block id be surprised if this impacted sims

Miami seems to be telling everyone they see them as #1 tight ends...luke wilson too
 
Highly doubt this impacts Sims. Two very very different players
