What It Means:

House played 54 snaps after Week 4. He struggled mightily before his benching. "The situation this year, if you ask me, was not football-related," House claimed. "There is no reason why I shouldn’t have been on the field." Going on 28, House's $6 million 2017 salary can come off the books with no dead money. It seems like a no-brainer adjustment for the Jags to make.

Interestingly, the Jaguars were league's eighth-best team by adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play for the first month of the season, but slumped to 16th over the remaining 12 games this year. Perhaps House has a case.
