I agree with 2&2. Hard to believe the Jags see this guy as on an All-Pro trajectory.
Donte is playing well enough to be resigned. Love his game this season

Same. We play a lot of nickel, so keeping all three is possible.
He doesn't need to be an All-Pro. He needs to be better than Rashaan Melvin.
There’s no doubt this has been a hectic offseason for Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback C.J. Henderson. Nobody would blame you if you couldn’t keep track of everything he’s gone through. In the end, the Florida product had an outstanding preseason and is ready to pick up where he left off in his rookie campaign. That’s why trading him wouldn’t make much sense. Still, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report recently explored the possibility.
Knox drew up a list of bold trade predictions before the start of the 2021 regular season. He believes the Jags should trade Henderson for New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas. He thinks that the three-time Pro Bowl nod would give rookie Trevor Lawrence a premier target in the passing game. Knox adds that head coach Urban Meyer’s and Thoma’s Ohio State connection would help them “form a good working relationship” in Jacksonville.
[h=2]The Jacksonville Jaguars have a starting cornerback in C.J. Henderson.[/h]Henderson experienced growing pains in his rookie season but he also showed promise. Urban Meyer described him as a talented young man earlier this year. However, his status for the regulars season wasn’t certain after a myriad of circumstances. He was placed on the COVID-19/Reserve list and missed a good chunk of training camp. Then, a report came out about him possibly being available via trade.
Jaguars assistant head coach Charlie Strong said the team wanted to help Henderson and added that the sophomore cornerback made the team better. The ninth overall pick in the 2020 draft repaid the Jags trust and quickly made up for the time he lost in the offseason. He had an outstanding offseason, which earned him the third-highest Pro Football Focus coverage grade of the preseason.
Clearly this guy is a complete headcase. Otherwise, this would be pretty much the same as if, exactly one year from today, the Panthers trade oft-injured, prior year #8 pick and local product Jaycee Horn and a 5th round pick for Dan Arnold and a 3rd round pick. The fanbase would collectively lose its shit.
And we're talking about someone apparently being too crazy for Urban Fucking Meyer. The proud mentor of Aaron Hernandez and head warden at both the Florida Penitentiary at Gainesville and Ohio State Correctional Facility. I'm excited to see what sort of lunatic is being brought in here.
ok.... or Meyer is a dumbass and the Jags have no idea what they're doing, and the Panthers took advantage

fitterer is a pretty pretty good GM so far

This I put zero stock in the Jags ability to access talent at any level.
Plus if Henderson is even a CB2 level guy we just fleeced them on the trade. Cornerbacks take awhile to develop, I think this could be a fucking fantastic trade.
You're right they haven't had much access to talent in recent years. But can they assess talent?
