Jags Don't Re-Sign Anyone
Place Franchise Tag on MJD


Does MJD's Franchise Tag make him trade bait?

February 9, 2014
Jacksonville, FL

(AP) In the midst of their rebuilding campaign, GM David Caldwell elect to not re-sign any Jaguars players making them all free agents. However, reports indicate that Caldwell reached out to several players in hopes of re-signing them - namely HB Jordan Todman, WR Mike Brown, and DT Sen'Derrick Marks - both the parties were too far apart in contract negotiations. Caldwell did use the Jaguars Franchise Tag on longtime Jaguar and hometown favorite, HB Maurice Jones-Drew. Whether MJD will stay for the whole year, sign an extension, or be traded away is still up in the air.

RE-SIGNED
None

Jacksonville Off-Season Continues Roster Rumblings
Trades and Cuts Announced Before Free Agency Period


Jags bid farewell to team's all time points leader, "Scobee Bryant"

February 16, 2014
Jacksonville, FL

(AP) The Jaguars' rebuilding efforts continue this week with the announcement of trades and cuts. Among the cuts were, WR Stephen Burton, WR Stephen Williams, DE Jeremy Mincey, DE Jason Babin, and K Josh Scobee. GM David Caldwell announced that these cuts were made for financial reasons and opened up over $13 million in cap space as the team approaches Free Agency.

Additionally, he announced the following four trades:

• HB Maurice Jones-Drew and TE Marcedes Lewis were traded to San Diego for their 3rd Round Pick (90th Overall)
  
• HB Justin Forsett and the team's 6th Round (163rd Overall) were traded to Oakland for QB Terrelle Pryor
• LBs Geno Hayes and Russell Allen were traded to the New York Giants for their 6th and 7th Round Picks (166th and 198th Overall)
• G Uche Nwaneri was traded to Saint Louis for HB Darryl Richardson

The first trade flies California natives and former UCLA teammates, Maurice Jones-Drew and Marcedes Lewis to San Diego for the 90th overall pick in the Draft. Jacksonville creates more cap room and gains a top 100 pick and San Diego will presumably start Jones-Drew over Ryan Matthews and Lewis over the aging Antonio Gates in their offense.

The trade to Oakland may conceivably net the Jaguars a starting quarterback heading into the season in Terrelle Pryor. Oakland, who will likely lose HBs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings in Free Agency, gain a potential starter in Justin Forsett as well as a draft pick in a loaded draft class. Pryor passed for over 3000 yards last season, but struggled with accuracy and completed just 51% of his passes. The Raiders should target a franchise quarterback with their 9th overall pick.

The last two trades with the Giants and Rams cleared cap space for the Jaguars while also giving them a couple of late round draft picks and a young running back prospect.
