The Jacksonville Jaguars

[thelakelander]

I'm fine with Suh being himself in Miami. I was fine with Richie Incognito too. They'll let some people go....like Jared Odrick, Brian Hartline and our punter who makes $4 million per year. If Suh can do what he does, playing with guys like Wake, it's going to make average linebackers and secondary players a lot better. It reminds me of the days when Tim Bowens, Daryl Gardner and Jason Taylor were so good on the defensive front, Zach Thomas could roam around like a mad man. So, one more corner and the Dolphin defense is good to go!

Suh at that price tag? No, Jags are more than one player away, from really being a contender to pay that much for one player

[copperfiend]

Sounds like Julius Thomas is all but a done deal. Good get.

Jaguars also expected to sign Dan Skuta, pass rushing LB from San Francisco

A free Agent CB possibility for Jags... Davon House...

...Teams like Jacksonville, Seattle and Philadelphia are all known to be looking for a cornerback like House. The Jaguars would seem like a great fit given that House's college head coach at New Mexico State, DeWayne Walker, is now Jacksonville's defensive backs coach. Plus, the Jaguars have the most cap space in the league with more than $64 million available to spend...

Per ESPN.com:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jaguars have reached an agreement with free-agent tight end Julius Thomas, and he is expected to sign a contract with the team Tuesday, according to league sources.

The Denver Post, which first reported the news Monday night, said the multiyear contract is worth around $9 million a season.

Adding TE Julius Thomas is another step in the Jaguars' process of slowly, but surely, giving Blake Bortles everything he needs to succeed, Michael DiRocco writes.

A source told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Thomas continues to talk with one other team but that the money the Jaguars are offering might be too much for another team to overcome.

Thomas has caught 108 passes for 1,277 yards and 24 touchdowns the past two seasons with the Denver Broncos. The Jaguars' tight ends have caught a combined 102 passes the past two seasons.

In another deal, the Jaguars also are set to sign linebacker Dan Skuta to a five-year contract Tuesday, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan.

Once the contract is signed, it is expected to be worth $20.5 million with $8 million of guarantees, the source said.

Thomas, 26, was a fourth-round pick by the Broncos in the 2011 draft, John Elway's first as the team's top football executive, and Elway made the pick after Thomas had played just one year of college football at Portland State after finishing out his eligibility on the school's basketball team.

His first two years were largely lost to an ankle injury he suffered on his first NFL catch -- against the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2011 season -- as Thomas also had surgery on the ankle in the months leading up to the 2012 season.

As a result, when he was set to enter his third year in the league, his career stats were nine games played, one catch for 5 yards and no touchdowns in two seasons.

But as the Broncos' offense broke out to set the league's single-season scoring record in 2013 (606 points), Thomas broke out as well with 65 catches for 788 yards and 12 touchdowns as he earned his first Pro Bowl trip. The 2014 season looked like it would be more of the same when Thomas led the league in touchdown receptions -- 12 -- after nine games.

Julius Thomas is poised to leave the Broncos to sign a free-agent contract with the Jaguars, according to sources.
But he suffered a left ankle injury in the first quarter of the Broncos' Nov. 16 loss in St. Louis -- the opposite ankle from his rookie-year injury -- which largely derailed his season. He missed two games, was in uniform for a third but did not play and caught just three passes over the final six weeks of the regular season.

He also did not have a touchdown catch over the last seven regular-season games or in the Broncos' playoff loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

He presents a difficult matchup in the passing game for defenses, especially lined up out wide or in the slot. But his representatives made it clear to the Broncos they wanted Thomas to be among the highest-paid players at the position.

The Broncos weren't prepared to go that high because of his injury history and because, under the new coaching staff, the team's tight ends have to be far more functional blockers in the run game than Thomas has shown himself to be to this point in his career.

Skuta had 35 tackles, five sacks and three forced fumbles with San Francisco last season. He started nine games at outside linebacker in place of the suspended Aldon Smith.

Skuta, 28, likely will line up at what the Jaguars call the otto, which is essentially a strongside linebacker with the ability to rush and drop in coverage. Skuta also has played inside linebacker in his career.

I get so sick of the stupid online trolls, it's a no win with them.

The Jags get an average player.
(Online trolls) "Hahahaha, that's why the Jags are the Jags"

The Jags get an upper tier player like Julius Thomas.
(Online trolls) "Oh boy, that's the last that we'll hear from Julius in the void that is Jax"

Screw the haters man.

Or at least look like we could even compete for a ring...

Devon House appears to be coming to Jacksonville.

[Wacca Pilatka]

So does Sergio Brown, free safety from the Colts.

Worth the signing for his Ric Flair impersonation alone!

With Brown and Skuda, they are getting some good special teamers
