Sorry for posting about it again but Oesher apologized for the mistake today on the Ozone and confirmed the 3million bonus kicked in last Friday.

 

Here it is again:

 

Zone, not to say you’re wrong, but I’m still hearing conflicting reports on Julius Thomas. Did the Jaguars or did the Jaguars not pay him $3 million Friday? And is the organization now committed to him?
 
John: Well, Fred, it’s sometimes OK to say “Zone, you’re wrong.” That’s because on occasion I am wrong – and this was one such occasion. I was asked last week about various reports of Jaguars tight end Julius Thomas being due $3 million last Friday. I wrote here in the O-Zone that those reports were incorrect – and that Thomas was scheduled to have $3 million in guaranteed money kick in on March 9. There had been confusion on multiple media outlets on the issue all week, and my error added to that confusion. That “whoops” is on me, so apologies for that. As for Thomas’ status with the Jaguars, that still remains to be seen. Yes, the $3 million guaranteed indeed kicked in Friday, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he will return to the Jaguars next season. I still believe retaining him would be a good idea, but I’m still leaning toward him not returning. This remains a “stay-tuned” situation, guaranteed money or no.
 
Finally.
