Quote:Wait,....so this is a contract year for Pettigrew?....and that is coinciding with this improved play from him?....I sure hope we pass, in that case. I'd rather go the college route.....and to be honest, I would like a more dynamic player at the position in the mold of some of the younger, quicker, more agile types. I want the position to be a mis-match in the Jaguars favor. 

 

Some players play better than ever after getting a new multi-year contract.  Lions OLB DeAndre Levy immediately comes to mind.  With that said,  there's no question that many other players level off or regress after getting a new contract.  Being that George Yarno knows Brandon Pettigrew real well,  this is a time when the insight of a coach in the scouting process could prove to be beneficial to the Jaguars if Brandon Pettigrew hits the open market.

 

 Time will tell what the Jaguars are looking for from their primary TE.  Some teams prefer the type you are looking for. Others prefer the more balanced TE,  even if he's not quite as dynamic.  Being that Seahawks TE Zach Miller is a more balanced TE,  that might be an indication what the Jaguars long term view is at the # 1 TE position.
