<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">A few hours after the trade of left tackle Eugene Monroe to Baltimore became official, Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said he is not conducting a fire sale.

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“No, absolutely not,” he said today at EverBank Field.

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Caldwell said he had spoken with running back Maurice Jones-Drew and middle linebacker Paul Posluszny and told both he has no intention of trading them for draft picks.

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“I had good talks with them today and they’re not going anywhere,” Caldwell said. “Nor do they want to go anywhere. We feel good about both those guys.”

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Jones-Drew is playing the final year of his contract and Posluszny is in the third season of a six-year deal.

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“We’ll always answer our phone,” said Caldwell, who added, “We have no intention of trading anybody on our roster.”

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">Caldwell said he wasn’t shopping Monroe – the Ravens called on Tuesday and once the negotiations were complete, he accepted Baltimore’s offer of fourth- and fifth-round picks in the 2014 draft.

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“They showed some real interest and had the power to do it with the amount of draft picks they’re expected to have with their compensatory picks,” Caldwell said. “Everything aligned perfectly. It happened really quickly.

<p style="font-size:13px;font-family:helvetica, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0);">“It’s really going to help us here in the future.”
