Torry Holt and Tra Thomas to be released, who else may have seen their last down as a Jaguar?

Today is the first day NFL teams can officially release players and "Black Monday" has already been confirmed for last year's two big Jaguar free agent signings. WR Torry Holt and LT Tra Thomas are both on the chopping block. Neither move is too surprising. Thomas was signed before the Jaguars took Eugene Monroe in the first round and didn't see the field most of the season.
Torry Holt's release is tougher to swallow, but understandable. The second year of the contract he signed last was mostly there in case he had more in the tank than anyone thought and the Jaguars couldn't afford to let him see free agency.
However, there are plenty of other candidates who will have likely seen their last downs as Jaguars. List below are my picks, in order from most likely to be gone to the least likely.

"When you look at teams who have won multiple championships, they have had elite quarterbacks...he's not that. I do think David is a good football player. I think he can help us, if we're strong around him, to get us to this kind of game here"

Bruenll, Smeenge, and other former Jag being sued over $2.2 million loan
Mark Brunell and his wife Stacy are being sued along with former Jaguars linemen Joel Smeenge and Todd Fordham.
The lawsuit centers on a $2.24 million loan to a company called Champion LLC.
This civil case has generated a long list of accusations and counter-claims.
Brunell and his fellow defendants wanted to build condos in Jacksonville Beach through Champion LLC. So they got a loan to buy property, but never got a second loan to build the condos, says a lawyer involved with the case.
Now, they're embroiled in a civil lawsuit, which accuses the Jaguars all-stars of defaulting on a loan.

Uche Nwaneri and Mark Brunell Sound Off on You Know Who
by SoCalStites on Feb 4, 2010 12:27 AM EST
in Meta-Jaguars

No not Voldemort, a certain QB at a certain college near Jacksonville by the name of Tim Tebow. Earlier today Uche Nwaneri posted his opinion of Tebow on the Jaguars.com message board:
"5. He cant throw. PERIOD.
"4. He cant read any coverage other than probably cover 2 or man cov. PERIOD (the only cov. in college lol).
"3. the QB wildcat WILL NOT WORK IN THIS LEAGUE. PERIOD.
"2. He doesnt know how to take a snap from center, nor is he even comfortable enough to.
"1. HE CANT THROW. and thats really something you either have or not, never seen a qb who couldnt ever throw, just all of a sudden be able to throw just because hes now in the NFL."
Mark Brunell, the former Jaguars QB who will be handling holding duties in the Super Bowl for the Saints, had a different opinion than that of Nwaneri.
"If they want him on the field and they think he can contribute, I think [the Jaguars] should [draft him]," Brunell said at Super Bowl media day. "I think he's going to be a good football player. I think he'll do well at this level."
"But I don't think Timmy wants to go to Jacksonville if they're drafting him just to sell tickets. He wants to compete and play. So if they want a good football player, absolutely [draft him]."
"I really respect Tim because he's taken his faith, taken who he is and he's making a difference. He's a great role model for a lot of young people and a great leader. Who he is is more important than what he does. He's a great kid."

2010 Scouting Report: Alterraun Verner
by SoCalStites on Feb 3, 2010 7:50 PM EST
in 2010 Scouting Reports
15 comments
Well after a bit of a break from our BCC scouting reports, I have a new one for all of you. Alterraun Verner just might be the perfect fit for the Jaguars and due to his lack of top-end speed, he might be attainable at a good value.
Verner lacks the top gear speed necessary to catch up to a receiver after the player has gotten behind him and he'll likely need a safety over the top to help him. But that's where the weaknesses stop. He's a very instinctive leader who knows how to make all the plays he needs to make. Alterraun has smooth hips that allow him to change direction quickly and effeciently. He has a good burst of acceleration that allows him to make jumps on balls a la Rashean Mathis and keep up with receivers quickly off the line. However, this has gotten him in trouble on double moves, also a la Rashean Mathis, so again, needs a safety over the top.
The ideal situation for Verner would be in a zone defense. The Jaguars love to run a cover two system and Alterraun Verner would be a perfect fit for this type of defense. In run support, Verner is good at shedding blocks and isn't afraid to stick his head in there to make a tackle. He has solid form that allows him to take down even the bigger backs.
Verner's draft position is probably going to be largely dependent upon his performance in the 40 yard dash. A good performance could erase the worries of NFL GMs about his elite tier speed, while a poor performance could validate such beliefs.
