Jags will be in and out this season injury wise anyway!
His hamstrings do seem to be playing up recently but don't think having so few backup options helped him as he has often had to play when he really shouldn't which has worsened the situation.

Hopefully having more than three CBs will mean that not only can players fully recover but there is good competition so can rotate as they find/lose form.
 
Firstly, Jags has never been more than just a good CB in my eyes, yes he's shown great consistency and some fine displays defensively but someone as poor on the ball and Jags is can never be considered a top CB in modern football... I will always respect him as a top professional with a fantastic attitude... but we have to face he is on the decline, injury prone and not good/reliable enough to start anymore, be good to keep him as a 3rd choice CB and a positive presence around the younger players, but it is an equally as good chance to cash in
