MANNY BONOTAN SIGNS JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS DEFENSE; LOSES FIRST-ROUND PICK AS COMPENSATION

Manny Bonotan signs away JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS DEFENSE. Vincent Putong receives Manny's First Round pick as compensation.

Jacksonville Defense is the first to switch teams in 2018 after being Franchise-Tagged

Vince had franchise-tagged the Jacksonville Jaguars Defense by the July 19 deadline.  Signed in the 2017 Auction Draft for $1, Jacksonville's Franchise Tag salary was $11, the average of the top five salaries for defense in NYOFACE Football.  The minimum counter offer from another team was then $12.

Manny's first bid for the Jacksonville Jaguars Defense was $15 x 2 years.  He then outbid himself by offering $20 x 2 years before the 12 PM deadline.  The League Office had proposed multiple bids to league owners.  We will continue the practice of multiple bids moving forward.

As compensation, Manny forfeits his First Round Pick in the 2018 Rookie Draft to Vince.  The pick is #9 overall.  With two first round picks and one second round pick in the 2018 Rookie Draft, Vince can carry three rookies on his roster.

With the loss of his first round pick, Manny would only be able to have a 21-man roster.  To get to the required 22-man roster, Manny will have to sign an extra free agent in the Auction Draft.

Since a second round pick commands a $1 salary, Manny will have $71 available in Salary Cap to sign nine free agents in the Auction Draft.
