So is Oesher right and it's March 9th.... or was it five days after the Super Bowl like PFT and others are saying?

Oesher addressed this again yesterday following more questions about it and I'm inclined to believe him rather than other sources (Ryan O' agrees with Oesher by the way) at this point. We'll find out soon enough anyway.

 

Regarding Julius Thomas, I have read through numerous outside sources that the Jaguars have committed to him because of a bonus due him last Friday. I have heard on a couple of Jaguars sites that the payment is due at or near the end of the league year. Which is really, and why is there a difference between outside and internal reporting?
 
John: Thomas has $3 million in guarantees kick in on March 9, the start of the new league year. That’s when the Jaguars must decide whether or not to commit to him. He remains on the roster, and I don’t yet know whether that will be the case after March 9. As far as “Jaguars sites,” there’s only one – and that’s this one. The others are by definition outside reporting. There’s nothing wrong with those sites, and they’re often right, but they’re not “Jaguars sites.” I don’t work for other sites, so I don’t know why they do what they do. I can only speak for this site. We don’t typically report on player transactions unless until a player officially signs, re-signs or is released, but I attempt to shed as much light on Jaguars goings on as possible here in the O-Zone.
