They have a great passing offense. Now they're trying to bring the defense and the running game up to the same level. Watch our for the Jags. BTW not a huge fan of Ivory but can't get mad at them for going out and getting the help the team needs.

Jags showing what happens when you have essentially unlimited cap. Sign a guy, for more than what he is worth, to be your second or third back, solely to drive up the price at a position of need for a division rival. Well played. I hope we do that to the Broncos.

^^^^ This Jones was avg at best. Look at it this way, the Pats played a UDFA rookie and a late rd 2014 draft pick at C last yr. Glasgow/Tuerk are both better players than Jones. IMHO
The OL was garbage last yr with those guys. I would re-sign Brooks, but replace Jones/Newton with draft picks.
We have to sign Lamar Miller. Our division got a little tougher today. Jags are loading up that offense.
Ivory gets banged up too much to live up to over 6M a year but kudos to the Jags for improving. Colts only team in our division that hasn't done anything

Garbage? Average, maybe. But not garbage. https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2016/01/20/pro-ranking-all-32-offensive-lines-this-season/ And Ben Jones is ranked higher than RG3, Travis Benjamin, and Ladarius Green among free agents. Of course he is replaceable, but it is not automatic that his production will be immediately replaced.
Ivory is going to be their #1 back. He is an upgrade over Yeldon. Robinson is their 3rd stringer if he remains. That's a pretty good RB corp. It was inevitable they were going to overpay for guys since they had so much cap room but they are also getting better.
