Teams keep tabs on players , they've known about this for awhile. Hence why we had Caldwell talking about Telvin being on the roster as a hypothetical and the mass drafting/signing of new linebackers.

You may be correct in your speculation, but even Marrone commented he had not received any reply from Talvin after trying to contact him.  One would think if he had contacted anyone in the organization it would have been the coach. The only important thing now is for Talvin to find the help he needs to get his life in order. He is one of my favorite players and I will be praying for him and his family.

• Coughlin makes it clear that there has been zero trade talk regarding Telvin while also letting us know that they know nothing of Telvin's intentions. He even said that if anyone does know anything about Telvin to please tell him. They're in the dark about Telvin and have to be careful to not violate NFLPA rules, however, Coughlin was sure to point out that "frankly, all the players should be here." The next day Ramsey's agent stirred up a media frenzy explaining that the Jags know full well what Ramsey is doing and that Coughlin shouldn't have said that, but now it appears the statement never really had anything to do with Ramsey.
  
• Marrone takes over, and when addressing the same question said something a little funny. He said that Telvin is not showing up for the voluntary practices but then suggested that he might not show for the mandatory practice. A reporter even asked him if that meant he talked to Telvin, and he said no, and then passes it off as meaning everything will be fine as long as he shows up for the mandatory stuff.  Nobody thought much of the comment, but now it hints of them suspecting something.
  
• Caldwell then comes on and practically stokes the trade rumor findings. I forget his words, but it was almost like "hey, if someone wants Telvin, let me know."  We may need to go back and listen to him again as that's not what he said... it's just my impression of what he said... but it was unexpected suggesting something really might be amiss regarding Telvin.
