It could lead to keeping receiver Allen Robinson from hitting the open market and away from 49ers, who could use a red-zone threat for Jimmy Garoppolo.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville entered the offseason with some $18 million in cap room. Bringing back Robinson on the franchise tag would have run $16 million, leaving them without the necessary space to bring in their incoming draft class or enough operating room for a typical offseason.<\/p>\n

They released running back Chris Ivory, saving roughly $3.5 million, and restructured quarterback Blake Bortles number by giving him a new three-year contract that shrinks his cap hit to just $10 million next season, as first reported by ESPN.<\/a><\/p>\nThat means Jacksonville has roughly $31 million in cap space, which could be enough to bring Robinson back – and keep him away from Kyle Shanahan and San Francisco.<\/p>\n
