Quote:Glad to see him leaving the game on his own terms, rather than languishing about in free agency. After the career he's had, he deserves the opportunity to do so, and to retire a Jaguar. As much as we forget it given his decline over the last few years, there was a while there where he was an excellent guard/center, and the lynchpin of the line.

 

I also am glad he is not retiring because of an injury like some other Jaguars did.

 

You are right about forgetting his best days. I only remember #63 being a center many fans thought was not good enough.

 

Quote:Is he the first significant guy to play his whole career with the Jags?

 

Does Reggie Williams count? I know he did not last very long, but he was a full-time starter and nobody signed him after he was cut.

 

Quote:Boselli could be included as well. He never played a snap in Houston.


I'm happy to hear Meester is hanging it up. He's been a rock through 5 coaches, and a pillar in this community. Now he can enjoy the house full of girls full time. He'll be desperate to get back into the league within 6 months of dealing with that!

 

I am including him because he spent the whole year on injured reserve, but can understand why someone else would only care about the fact the Texans drafted him.

 

Brad Meester will enjoy spending more time with his family and helping the community. I don't think he will miss doing everything he did as a player.
