The Jaguars signed third-year DT Tony McDaniel to a contract extension Wednesday, the team announced. McDaniel, an undrafted free agent in 2006 from Tennessee, has 25 tackles in 15 career games, including one sack. Terms of the deal were not announced. McDaniel missed the team's last 12 games with a wrist injury in 2007. Commentary: The Jaguars are working hard to fill the void of departed DT Marcus Stroud. They signed DL Rob Meier to an extension last week. Fantasy Impact: None It's safe to assume Jaguars WR Matt Jones won't be looking to fans of the team for sympathy after he was arrested on cocaine possession charges on Thursday.Judging by the fans' reaction to his arrest on the JagsZone message board, he won't get any. Bitter comments expressing anger and a lack of surprise over the former first-round pick's issues filled the thread top to bottom. One of the moderators of the site made a comment about the look on Jones' face in his mug shot. "Notice the indifferent look on his face in his mugshot. Kinda reminds me of the way he looks after a huge win, or a devastating loss, or the day he was drafted, or when he was benched."A poster sarcastically suggested an explanation for Jones' arrest. "Maybe we are all mistaken and he was just trying to clean the powdered sugar off of his leg after a donut... And maybe the next job Matt Jones will have is flipping burgers at McDonald's. Instead of improving his chances to make the team, he was trying to "broaden his horizons." Would you like a hot apple pie with that Matt?"Clearly, Jaguars fans in the forum have had their fill of Jones, and the arrest seemed to only confirm what they already thought of him. "Note to Matt. You're a loser. You ruined your chance to rule this town. I'm sorry, but a Southern white boy WR could have been the face of this team, but instead he's become one of the most hated players in our 13+ year history. Today's incident was just the proverbial last straw for this moron." Jacksonville Jaguars "ink DT Rob Meier to four-year extension"
内容: The Jaguars signed DT Rob Meier to a four-year extension, locking up Marcus Stroud's replacement through 2012. The move means Jacksonville only has two defensive starters not signed past this season - DE Paul Spicer and LB Mike Peterson. Meier, a seventh-round draft choice in 2000, has spent time at all four positions along Jacksonville's defensive line, including 17 starts in the past two seasons at LDE and LDT. Commentary: Stroud was dealt to Buffalo, and despite having been a mainstay along one of the league's best defensive lines, Stroud battled injuries in his time with the Jags. Meier provides the team with consistency, and he did a great job last season of eating up blockers and freeing Spicer and DT John Henderson. Fantasy Impact: The Jaguars look to be one of the top defenses in the game again, and with the majority of their defense signed for at least another two years, not to mention the acquisition of pass-rushing DEs Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves via the draft, they might have enough playmakers along their front seven to be among the league leaders in sacks.
