Wait, is there source that we went hard after him last year that he's our primary target now? Not sure I like that reasoning...sure hope we get him, but still.

Well this makes me feel a lot better. The lack of contract details like Maxwell and Suh made me weery of believing the Julius reports.
Quote:Don't mistake what I said as backing up Marcedes. He's terrible.


Ok. Just miscommunication I guess. I get what you are saying about Manning, but Julius is one of the few players that I believe can succeed without him.
I feel like too many people are reporting it now from various outlets for it to not be true. Something could still go wrong so I'll wait for Schefter to put it up but I'm feeling good about it.

Quote:24 touchdown receptions in 2 seasons for Thomas. Wow.

 

 

For comparison Marcedes Lewis has 27 in 9 seasons.
 

Just a little difference in the QB talent throwing them the ball, but point taken in TE talent catching the ball.

Also availability. Keep in mind he had about 10 in his pro bowl year. Since then he's always been injured
If JT comes here is he the best TE in the AFC south?

Yes.

Pretty much. I like Walker and Allen also, though.

The quarterback has absolutely nothing to do with the tight end's ability to catch footballs. Why can't people understand that?
Saw someone on Twitter say that they heard it was 5 year 70 million dollar contract for Thomas.

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">An opportunity has opened for <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jaguars?src=hash'>#Jaguars</a> with DeMarco Murray.

<p class="" style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">What does that mean exactly? Like the centerpiece back part.

If the Jags want any big name FA, they will have to over pay for them.

 

That's just the way it is.

 

I'm sure they are aware of this.
I picked Julius in the second round in fantasy. Now I'll be able to pick him in the fourth or fifth.
