Possible Destinations For Former Saints OLB Junior Galette

2.  JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

The Jaguars have been a snakebit franchise for over a decade and that’s putting it mildly, with some of their struggles reminding me of the lean years for the Saints.

Fans watched as their team snagged one of the most coveted pass rushers in the 2015 NFL Draft in Dante Fowler Jr., only to see him tear his ACL in a simple drill at their first practice.

It’s no doubt that the team is beyond being in “win now” mode if that’s possible and certain things like Galette’s behavior can be overlooked when that desperation grabs hold.

At defensive end they currently have Chris Clemons and Tyson Alualu trying to live up to the confidence the front office has given them.

Clemons signed a huge free agent deal with Jacksonville in 2014 and while he had eight sacks, he didn’t grade well in pass rush(-7.8) or run defense(-8.1).

Alualu isn’t being called a bust by the Jaguars but he surely hasn’t done anything to reassure the doubters about being chosen tenth overall in the 2010 NFL Draft.

In his five years in the NFL Alualu has registered a total 13.5 sacks, which Junior almost had in one season, and his pass rush is absolutely terrible.

The Jaguars have shown that money is no object(they actually re-signed Alualu to a 2-year, $6 million dollar contract this year) so they have the pockets and the need to sign Galette.
