Quote: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.
They also had an expanded salary cap which they abused and ultimately paid the price for when that run finally came to an end in 1999/2000. 
Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
