Quote:If the Jags plan to be good in the coming year Kahn has to look into the history of George Steinbrenner. He will have to BUY some excellent players. Since the inception of our team all I have ever heard is that we are "growing, building and planning. The time is NOW not next year, not in a couple of years. We want a team that WINS now. To do that we need players that can actually RUN and CATCH the ball. Players that can defend our quarterbacks and kickers. When do we want this? NOW! so lets act on free agency and spend money on players not swimming pools.

Just my opinion.

 

 

If you were around since the inception of the team, and you didn't hear about the Jaguars being aggressive in free agency, you must not have been listening.

 

In the early days of the franchise, the Jaguars were players in big name free agency.

 

They signed guys like Leon Searcy, Jeff Lageman, Gary Walker, Eddie Robinson, Carnell Lake, Bryce Paup, Hardy Nickerson.  They made a play for DT Gilbert Brown.

 

Later on, the team has taken a frugal approach to free agency.

 

But to suggest the team never tried to have more than bargain basement free agents is simply not accurate.
