Unser Chat » The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed veteran free agent

running back Jamaal Charles Josh Oliver Jersey Color Rush , according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.The move came quickly after it was reported the team would be working out Charles and former Kansas City Chiefs running back Charcandrick West. The team also picked up a running back from the Denver Broncos practice squad, which should fill the two roster spots opened up by putting Corey Grant and Austin Seferian-Jenkins on injured reserve.This means the Jaguars current backfield consists of an injured Leonard Fournette, a hobbled T.J. Yeldon, a 31-year old Charles and a rookie David Williams. I’d guess Brandon Wilds ends up cut, but it might actually behoove the Jaguars to keep an extra back active http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-tanner-lee-jersey , considering how things have gone.Charles played in 14 games last season for the Broncos as a backup, rushing the ball 69 times for 296 yards and a touchdown, also catching 23 passes out of the backfield for 129 yards.

Bortles was a classic case of helping a team to the playoffs without leading a team to the playoffs, largely by getting out of the way and letting their defense take the lead. He had his moments, and wasn’t completely incompetent, but there’s a reason the Jaguars ditched him in favor of Nick Foles.Certainly Womens Landry Jones Jersey , letting Bortles play out 2018 on his fifth-year option was an option, since their books would have been clear now. But the Jaguars bet on Bortles. And lost. And now they get to continue to account for cap space for him, a heavier burden than the flimsy justification Coughlin offered.
