The Jacksonville Jaguars weren’t shy about handing out money this offseason, and that includes handing Cam Robinson the franchise tag, which will cost them over $16.6 million. However, the team would prefer to get a long-term deal done with him, as this offseason marks the second time that they’ve tagged him.
During the owners meetings, this offseason, Jags coach Doug Pederson told the media that the hope was to get Robinson a long-term deal, and on Friday, fans received more details on the situation. According to general manager Trent Baalke, discussions with Robinson and his agent are moving in the right direction, though a timeline on a deal wasn’t stated.
“The first part, we’re continuing to work and have had some great discussions with Cam [Robinson] and his agent, so I think that’s moving in the right direction,” Baalke said when asked about an extension update and whether it impacts the draft. “We’re going to continue to move down that road and see what we can get done.
