Former Jaguars On the Move, Buffalo Bills Release Marcus Stroud

PrintA couple of former Jacksonville Jaguars players are on the move this week. The Buffalo Bills released former Jaguars defensive tackle Marcus Stroud today. Stroud was traded to the Buffalo Bills after the 2007 season. The Jaguars shipped him off for a 3rd and 5th round pick, which was used as ammunition to move up in the draft and select Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves. The Bills shifted to a 3-4 defense that left Stroud out of position playing defensive end. He did an adequate job, but he's now 32 years old and Buffalo is rebuilding their team. I don't know if Stroud plans to continue to seek employment in the NFL, but if he chooses not to I'd say he had a successful NFL career.
Marcus Stroud netted 7.5 sacks while in Buffalo. In the same amount of time, Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves combined for 10.5 sacks.
Some other former Jaguars were also on the transaction wire. Former Jacksonville Jaguars and Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jerry Portersigned in the CFL with the Montreal Alouettes yesterday. Porter signed a big free agent deal with the Jaguars in the 2008 off-season and played just 10 games before being released after the 2008 season. Running back Chad Kackert and defensive back Dee Webb also signed with the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL yesterday.

I just saw this
I had to wonder if we’d consider bringing him back as a cheapo backup for pot roast…

We already have D'Anthony Smith and Douzable
younger and more potential
"I’m going to punish him. If he hits me, fine, but if I catch him, believe me, I’m going to get the better shot." - Fred Taylor
D'Anthony will be able to spell Tyson
but I think from Pot Roast to Douzable there’s a noticable dropoff. I’m not super confident in Douzable’s abilities, so if we could snag back Henderson for cheap, I might consider him an upgrade. Plus it’d be nice to do right by our guy. I still have a old, tattered Stroud jersey in my room that I bought probably back ’04.

not the guy I'd want mentoring the youngsters
Mentoring is overrated, and besides, Kampman is the pro’s pro we haven’t had in the defensive front in a while. Way I see it, Pot Roast (if he comes to camp in shape) is going to become the face of the defense.
Stroud may have 1 or 2 more years left in him.
Douzable is not very good. He needs to be replaced.

wow
i was hoping no one would bring up the “bring him back cheap, let him be a mentor”… sigh

when does bringing back a old vet
to play or “mentor” EVER pay off? i mean, most of the time we kno better, that’s why we let older players go. i give the guys in the FO the benefit of the doubt.
Lol I just fanshot this
I didn’t have the “juice” to get it front and center though, lol.
Coach Crennel, if all of your Coors Lights can talk what happens when you open your fridge? There's generally "Hoopla" involved.
here is one twin tower
where the hell is John Henderson now a days? lets bring both of them back and just start Henderson, Stround, Alualu, Potroast all on the same line! nobody would run on us now! LMAO
Sure they would
they’d just run wide and around those guys.
DG is the best we have and help is not on the way. I realize he's not perfect, but I feel a lot better about him at QB than I do the O-Line, DB's, or LB's ability to cover a TE.
Stroud trade to Buffalo
The trade was a great move by Shack and the Jags. But what the team did with those picks was awful.
I like Stroud, he was always one of my favorite Jags. I bet he ends up with Mike Smith in ATL.
Did not leave on good terms
If I remember correctly he left pissed off at JDR. Something about he has lost it as a player or something? I don’t think he would be comming back here.
Jags went after his signing bonus because of his suspension.

right, the drugs
forgot about that.
I just can’t get wht everyone wants to go back to the old days. These guys are 2 plus years older. Fred left here at the right time as it turned out. I really can’t think of a single player over the last 5 years who I wish we had held onto.
Gerald Sensabaugh, Mike Peterson, Brian Williams… For me,
by Alfie Crow on Feb 16, 2011 5:27 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
maybe Williams but the other 2, no
Peterson seems to me to have reached that point in his career where he’s an on field cheerleader who is good for a few plays but pads his stats by getting on top of the pile.
Unfortunately, he became the whipping post for the 2008 season which was undeserved in my view. But we are not in the locker room and I think he was one of the more vocal players demanding a new deal.
Gerald, I dunno. Can’t get all of that ugliness from the gun crap out of my head even though I don’t believe he was convicted, right?
Ugliness? All it ever was, was having a gun in his car. He had a licensed hand gun when he got pulled over for speeding, just not in the state he was in. Other he had guns in his backseat while he was at a barber shop.
For Peterson, he’d have been as good or better than what was at MLB the past two years. He ultimately f’d up by “challenging” Del Rio. That’s what did him in.
when I say ugliness, I'm talking about the media running with it
you know how it goes guilty til proven innocent.
And while you may be right about Peterson, he’s still a 10 year vet similar to Stroud, thus he may be more than Morrison.
That challenge thing was a bunch of BS in my opinion. JDR needed a scapegoat and Mike Pete played the part well.
Didn’t he get arrested three times? First in 2007 for speeding and illegally possessing firearms, second ibn 2008 for reckless driving and third in 2009 was for driving on a suspended license. The last one was about a week before free agency started in 2009. You can say they are no big deal but the fact remains he was arrest three times in less than two years.
I know you defend Sensabaugh to no end. I know you think the Jaguars didn’t re-sign him because of his contract demands and not because of his three arrests. Even though he was let go in the same offseason as a half dozen other guys who had legal troubles. Just a coincidence I guess.
