Jacksonville Jaguars


The Jacksonville Jaguars have been one of the most active teams this off-season and will have a new revamped team on the field next year. The Jaguars have pulled of some great trades hoping to make the team younger and faster on the field. The Jaguars traded a 6th round draft pick to the Minnesota Vikings for speedy wide receiver Troy Williamson. Troy Williamson is a former 1st round draft choice that came with high expectations that he never quite accomplished. This move has a small risk and high reward possibilities because the Jaguars received Williamson at a very low price but he could have a huge impact on the field next year. Williamson gives the team a deep threat that the team has lacked for a few seasons. The Jaguars also signed wide receiver Jerry Porter to a six year contract and will look for him to be the leading receiver in the Jags passing attack. Another good signing by the Jags was signing cornerback Drayton Florence. Florence had a good season for the Chargers last season and had two interceptions in the playoffs. The Jaguars also traded the often injured star defensive tackle Marcus Stroud in return for a 3rd and 5th round draft choice in this years’ draft. The extra draft picks will help the team with rebuilding the defensive line and hopefully they can draft some impact players that can help the team reach even further in the playoffs next year.
