Big Cat Country Q&A: Who will be the surprise player of training camp?

Let’s answer some questions now that Jacksonville Jaguars training camp has started up!

Mark from Monmouth, NJ

Q: Why did the Jaguars sign D.J. Hayden to a contract so much higher than his market value, and is there anyone on the roster who could surpass him as the staring nickel corner?

A: First, about his market value, Dave Caldwell and John Idzik (the team’s salary cap consultant) are not wild spenders. I trust their opinion on what “market value” is for most players, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
