Quote:And I am sure he has never seen him play
I have...and he is not bad. Having only 456 yards, he was mostly known as a run blocker, or a person that can move the chains for a last ditch effort. The only problem, is he really had no time to shine and will be considered a late draft pick, or even undrafted. As I keep hearing more and more of the signings that the jaguars are doing, along with the pro days of the qb's, it becomes more clearer of who the jaguars will be drafting in the 1st round. And it is not who I thought it was, nor really anybody else picking this person. I want to keep this name to myself, because I am not trying to make a name for myself on this board and I just want to see if I am right.
Quote:Is this the end of the Danny Noble/Allen Reisner era?
Allen Reisner was a RFA, and was not tendered. He is no longer a Jag, and now a free agent.
Quote:Anyone going after Jermarcus Finely yet?
He visited Seattle last week and there were reports he'll sign with us if/when he gets a full medical clearance.
Yahoo sports reporting the jaguars have offered a deal to former ravens tightend ed dickson.

If Finley signs with you guys and stays healthy, you've officially got the scariest batch of tight ends in the league. Four guys who could legitimately contribute on most teams out there. Impressive.
If Dickson lands here, I'd be stoked. Solid player all around, and he can be the receiving target that Marcedes doesn't look to ever be again.

lol, "stoked" over that signing? (if it happens)
to each his own...

Ok, who's your receiving tight end? You know, the guy who'll be bailing out a young quarterback for the next few years? Marcedes? Want to give him another shot to stink, or is it time to move on and find a tight end who gets open and makes plays?

I agree its high time to move on from Marcedes, actually overdue....but Dickson isn't a playmaking type of TE. We could have targeted Finley - he was that, but now we'll probably have to address it in the draft with someone like Ebron or Niklas.

Caldwell is not Gene Smiff and tries to find hidden Jewels. His track record shows that he likes to stick with proven players in the draft.

He may not be a playmaker but sticking him in marcedes together in a jumbo formation to block for the rb does not sound bad to me.
Keep the breaking news coming!
Jaguars signed Bryce Paup!

Outstanding blocking tight ends who aren't a receiving threat can be had for close to the league minimum. Lewis has a $6.7M salary next year. You do the math.

I never said Lewis was worth the money.
Can he run and catch the football?
fantastic reporting thanks for sharing.

I know he is not, nor do I expect Caldwell to go after him. If you want the upgrade that could put the fear of god into opp. defenses, then lets see if Jace Aramo's stock will fall. If he can fall, and we could trade into the round that he is still in (excluding 1st rd), I am all for it. I just hope he does not fall to the Patriots. For all the talk of the Broncos, IF New England has a healthy Gronk and Jace Aramo, look out. *Cheers*
