The Jaguars needed to resign Mincey, otherwise they would need two new defensive ends this offseason, with all of their needs on the offensive side of the ball too, because they weren’t serious contenders for Mario Williams or John Abraham. Given that, I think they got a great deal for Jeremy Mincey, who emerged as one of the better 4-3 ends in the league this season.

ProFootballFocus ranked him 12^th among all 4-3 defensive ends as he had 8 sacks (19^th) and 38 pressures (7^th), while being above average against the run (14^th). Less than 7 million per year (4 years, 27.2 million) is completely reasonable for someone like that. The best part, if Mincey proves to be a one year wonder, only the first year (9 million) is guaranteed, so they can cut him without penalty at any point after the season.
