Quote:An additional benefit of signing a highly accomplished player to a one day contract at the end of his NFL playing career is it demonstrates that the player is welcome back into the team family.   In many,  if not most cases,  the player would then be an asset to the franchise even though he's no longer playing for them.   Helping sell Free Agents from other teams is one of the unofficial roles and benefits he can provide.   There's absolutely no downside that I can think of in signing a player like Greg Jones to a one day contract,  when he's ready to retire.
Bingo. 

 

The Jags have really put a focus on bringing back the alumni and using these guys to help promote the things they're doing.  Adding one more guy to that mix who was also a popular player with the fans never hurts. 
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
