<p class="">Caldwell jokes the "big signing" is Brad Nortman. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/TeamNortman?src=hash'>#TeamNortman</a>

Bengals UFA LB Vincent Rey is re-signing with the team. He's a good player who doesn't get that much publicity,  despite playing for a good team.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Rey re-signed with Cincinnati, and Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported his contract is worth $11.5 million over three years.

<p class="">Caldwell: Being a small market team its important to build through draft. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/ASJax?src=hash'>#ASJax</a>

<p class="">Caldwell says they didn't go after Mack because of age (31) and they think they have guys here that can fill the spot. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/ASJax?src=hash'>#ASJax</a>

Caldwell on RB Chris Ivory: "he's a violent, aggressive, downhill runner" #Jaguars

  That's certainly my impression of Chris Ivory.   The ' beast mode'  term fits Ivory well.

 Understandably.   The vast majority of NFL decision makers would agree with Dave Caldwell.
Caldwell confirmed that Gerhart will be released in 2 1/2 hours.

<p class="">Caldwell is confident there is enough out there with 2nd tier free agency and draft at LEO spot. He said they'll get good players. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/ASJax?src=hash'>#ASJax</a>

<p class="">Bryan Anger wasn't willing to negotiate with Jags says Dave. Didn't want to use a pick on a punter.

Dave didn't want to use a pick on a punter?! Yay! Most likely means no drafting of a kicker!
