Free Advice On Free Agency For The Jaguars Free advice on free agency Quote:
A year ago, the Jaguars weren't happy with their corps of receivers. After Jimmy Smith's retirement, Reggie Williams, Matt Jones and Ernest Wilford couldn't step up. Primarily because they couldn't consistently catch passes.
The dropsies were spreading through the locker room like a Cleveland-style staph infection, so the team decided that the home-grown products, all obtained through the draft, needed help.
And so they signed Dennis Northcutt. A receiver who had a reputation for ... dropping passes.
The irony on Saturday night was that Jones, Wilford and Williams each caught passes (Jones and Wilford scored touchdowns), while Northcutt made a drive-killing drop that arguably was the turning point of the game.
Here's a tip for the Jags. Now that you've found a quarterback, go get an accomplished receiver. Pay the money. Get a guy who can take advantage of all the attention that gets paid to the running backs.
