Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Jaguars fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jaguars fans \u2014 would you have offered defensive end Travon Walker more or less than the $27.5 annual salary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigcatcountry.com\/jacksonville-jaguars-news\/83847\/jags-sign-travon-walker-contract-extension-details\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">he signed for<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">I would\u2019ve offered Walker $30+ million per year. His pass rush production may be underwhelming for a former No. 1 overall pick and current top-12 paid EDGE, but Walker can at least push the pocket with power, and his work against the run is amongst the best in the league. When you also consider his positional versatility and standout character, it\u2019s easy to see why the Jaguars wanted to lock him up before he hit the open market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cTravon fits what we want to be and what we\u2019re about as an organization,\u201d said general manager James Gladstone. \u201cHis love for the game and his teammates is infectious and his determination to play through injury last season cemented our belief in him. His best football is still ahead of him, and we\u2019re excited that will happen with the Jaguars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL.
