Quote:Thomas is, imo, a product of the system and Peyton Manning. Put him in an offense that requires the tight end to block (like ours) and he's now an underutilized pass catcher and an utterly useless run blocker. I'd pass.

 

Revis has still got it, but isn't he pushing 30? Lots of corners fall off fast around that age, and I'd hate for the Jaguars to be the team that gives Revis a huge contract only to see him fall apart a year in.

 

Locker, meh. I don't think he's an upgrade over Henne. If Sam Bradford hits free agency and doesn't get a starting offer (which is a likely scenario, imo), I'd be all over him as a backup.

 

Until Julius Thomas catches footballs from another quarterback, there is no reason to say he is just good because of Peyton Manning. If he played with Ben Roethlisberger, the guy compared most to Blake Bortles, and did not have nearly the same success as he does now I would listen. But I think any statement about a player only being good because of Manning is very stupid unless the claim has already been proven true. So until I see how well Thomas plays with a different (but not much worse) quarterback, I have no reason to believe he is a product of Manning.

 

Darrelle Revis said he wants to play for a winner after reports surfaced the Jets want him back. Obviously if the Patriots do not retain him, he won't talk to the Jaguars.

 

Sam Bradford will be a free agent when the next league year begins. I am not sure how mobile he is after spending two years recovering from ACL tears.
