Y0p_medium

Kasim Osgood's new locker

Michael Wright with the Florida Times Union says that this is not a "done deal" and that it could happen later today, he has agreed to terms and will sign within the hour.

As reported by...uh...Kassim Osgood, he's officially a Jacksonville Jaguar!  Signing details are, as usual, not out yet, but let's all welcome him to the team!

No word yet on Aaron Kampman.

Welcome to Jacksonville!

The jersey is part of the recruiting process, but a signing should be happening sometime today.

I just hope he can add some catches in the passing game.

This is goodstuff.

I live in San Diego and I watch every Chargers game that doesn’t conflict with watching the Jags.

Osgood is insane on special teams and has potential as a Wide Receiver. I’m fired up on this!

Montell and Kasim flying down on punt and kickoffs?!!! Russ Purnell is frothing right now.

Having watched Him

In preseason games I know he has some talent as a receiver.
Not super quick, but he can make some incredible catches.

Now we will know who “should” win probowl votes.

Thank You

Jesus, this is not a risky pick in FA like we’ve done some years at WR, and he has good size and I think will complement Sims-Walker well

by bigkorean on Mar 6, 2010 6:55 PM EST reply actions  

Never heard of the guy but apparently...

6’5 and fast.

Plus:
3× Pro Bowl selection (2006, 2007, 2009)
1× All-Pro selection (2006)

I like.

Excellent!

Welcome aboard, Kassim.

Vae Victis!

As Rosenthal posted a little while ago, Kassim Osgood is the newest member of the Jaguars.

His contract pays him well as a special-teamer; even better if he becomes a successful receiver.

Per a league source, Osgood received a signing bonus of $2.2 million. He has a guaranteed base salary in 2010 of $775,000, along with a $25,000 workout bonus.

Next year, his base climbs to $1.475 million, with another $25,000 workout bonus.

Then, in 2012, he’ll receive a base salary of $2.175 million and another $25,000 workout bonus.

So the base value of the deal is $6.675 million, with $2.975 million guaranteed.

Here’s the kicker — he can make a lot more if he becomes a competent pass-catcher.

Each year, he’s eligible for up to $1.3 million in incentives based on receptions. For 40, he gets $200,000. With 10 more, he gets another $400,000. Another 10? He gets $700,000 more, for a total of 1.3 million.

He also is eligible for an annual Pro Bowl bonus of $100,000, regardless of whether he makes it as a special-teams player or as a receiver.

It’s unclear whether Osgood will become a competent wideout. For whatever reason, the Chargers never gave him much of a chance.

As we might soon find out, it might have been because he can’t catch. Either way, he’s got 3.9 millions to try.

Gene is a genius

I bet he gets a bargain with Kampman too.

Vae Victis!

has Aaaron recovered yet?

by Slvrgun on Mar 6, 2010 8:38 PM EST up reply actions  

Who knows

may not have been that bad. Could also be career threatening.

by Ewdtrey on Mar 6, 2010 8:48 PM EST up reply actions  

What?

How would I know? But I imagine the issue will lend to the overall bargain.

Vae Victis!

I especially like

where Osgood tweets “And Gene Smith is awesome! Good man”
I’ll be interested to watch the competition at wr this year.

Kampman’s deal is expected to be around KVB’s deal with Detroit.
