Taylor Price Claimed By Jaguars On Waivers, According to Report

PrintWell folks, I'm not one to say I told you so, but I did tell you so. Multiple sources including Ian Rapoport of the Boston Herald are reporting that the Jaguars have claimed wide receiver Taylor Price on waivers days after he was waived by the New England Patriots. By claiming Price, the Jaguars also take on his contract that he signed with the Patriots during his rookie season that goes through the 2013 season.
Price represents yet another player brought in by the Jaguars in the last few weeks who has strong athleticism and physical skills, but was unable to produce with the teams that drafted them early in the 2010 draft. At 6'0, 204 pounds with 4.40 speed, he was the skills necessary to develop into a strong receiver, but was unable to adjust to the NFL speed as a rookie and was hampered by hamstring injuries during his sophomore campaign.
It has yet to be announced who the Jaguars will release to make room for Price.

Would like to be more excited, but I can’t. I know we won’t really see the effects until next year, but why are we bringing in another guy with 1 hamstring?
Hoping to "Frankenstein" two players
Take the Good hamstring out of one player and transplant it to the other player so we actually have a WR that has Two Good Hamstrings!!!

I'm glad we did this
We have a long, proud history of developing WRs that couldn’t make it with other teams.
with this coaching staff
it is hard not to develop wide receivers. the elite of the elite are on this coachign staff
Look at Matt Jones and Reggie Willaims
So good that no other teams can afford them :)
I want Price to become the next Rice
and repost this thread in a few years.
Most likely he will be another body to throw at the position to see if one sticks.
"See if one sticks"
I think that’s exactly what we’re doing with WRs right now.
Just checked out what the Pats blog had to say
Here. Seems as though he never really had a chance to get anything started due to the hamstring. His rookie year is compared to being a red-shirt.
It can hurt....
The players lol. Seems like every WR we sign gets injured/can’t over come their injury!!

hmmmmm
looks like we are taking the Al Davis approach with these speedsters that the Jags are bringing in! Is it possible that the almighty Gene Smith is avoiding to take Justin Blackmon in the 1st rd??? I hope that isn’t the case but only time will tell where the franchise will go. Especially considering our coach position and the philosophy he’ll bring!!!
What Gene is doing now
has pretty much no effect on what he does in the draft. Unless we somehow find someone special.
Not Al Davis
just desperate to find anything from anyone. Not like he is making franchise saving/destroying moves by going purely for speed.
It's probably so we can see if
we should bring him back next season.

Most of these moves will be forgotten about next year. I expect alot of movement with the roster after a season like this. I doubt many of these bottom of the roster guys even make it to camp. Gene is just hoping to get lucky with or two moves out of a hundred, per se.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, mind you. I’d do it too.

Maybe
Hill was waived and Robiskie was put on IR, so we could have a higher chance of snagging Taylor Price.
Anyone interested in making money easy and quick on the interne, let me know through twitter or facebook(preferably facebook).

And Taylor Price
can be a good guy to develop along Gabbert.

Rumor is we are also going to be signing Larry Fitzgerald.
Our owner said he will see if 200 million dollars guaranteed is enough to make him part ways with Arizona. Asked if he thought 200 million was a lot, Kahn responded, “I wipe my ass with 200 million 5 times a year.”
maybe i am not familiar with the financial worth of weaver
but is Kahn that much wealthier than Weaver?!
Maybe not now with
$760 extra million in Weaver’s pocket
But that $200 mil will have to be under the table with the salary caps and all
