Jaguars Likely to Release OG Justin Smiley

PrintAccording to Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive guard Justin Smiley is no where to be seen and will likely be released today at 4:01 PM when teams can officially cut players. I was getting ready to do a post about possible releases for the Jaguars, and Smiley was going to be at the top of the list.
Justin Smiley is not with the offense. He has likely been released.
The Jaguars traded a conditional 7th round pick to the Miami Dolphins last off-season for guard Justin Smiley. Smiley has been oft-injured in his career and missed some practices, but started the year as the Jacksonville Jaguars starting left guard. He was replaced by veteran guard Vince Manuwai against the Buffalo Bills and was relegated to back up duty ever since. Smiley was due about $2 million in salary this year, which is a bit much for an oft-injured back up interior lineman, especially when the team drafted a young guard in Will Rackley.

Hopefully the rest sign soon
They all have a chance for significant playing time

Is it finally time to draft a QB?

supposedly Prosinski already has a contract but hasn’t signed yet

So between him and podlesh we just saved 3.5 million or something like that right?
I say we sign Landry, Session, and then go out and get Carr or like a DE like Osi when he gets cut. We have a lot of money left. Or Malcolm Floyd anyone?

let's go gene
if we can get landry and session our defense will be much improved
So Smiley is gone, and we have another Guard on the non-football injury list...
That means Rackley is definitely gonna get some playing time early on in camp.

Many, many guards available (good backup quality)
Chris Chester – Baltimore
Evan Mathis – Cincinnati
Max Jean Giles – Philadelphia
Nate Livings – Cincinnati
Leroy Harris – Tennessee
Nick Cole – Philadelphia
Tony Moll – Baltimore
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
And
Chris Chester and Evan Mathis would be ok starters
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
ive heard of mathis
Id like to see landry/dirty laundry, session, a backup guard, perhaps Carr too

He didn't start any games last year
But he started 7 games in ’09.
Per PFF:
4. Evan Mathis, Cincinnati Bengals
Age as of 1st September 2011: 29
2010 Grade: +6.2
Key Stat: Played just 114 snaps in 2010.
Behind The Numbers: After a great start to the 2009 season, Mathis returned from a brief injury and found himself in a rotation with Nate Livings. It was a strange decision, but not as strange as Mathis being dropped to the bench for nearly 90% of the 2010 season. When he got his chance he played as well as you’d expect, allowing one pressure and generally winning his battles in the trenches. Mathis could be one of the steals of free agency.
Ignore the hype; look at the results.
Chester will probably resign with Baltimore and Harris has a lot of teams interested and is driving his price up

I think gene is trying to not overpay anyone when this is an inflated market
And everyone is getting overpaid. That’s why were a little behind right now.

Or as they call him scrabble. At this point i rather have the Jets get him and go to salary cap hell

It worries me that we havent made anymore deals yet.

I just want to see Sessions and Landry signed on paper.
After those two the rest of FA would be a cherry on top. Any clue who is going after Malcolm Floyd?

Sad, Sad Poll
news4jax.com Poll – Does having a player contract make you more likely to buy Jaguars tickets?
Yes, I was waiting to see if there would be a full season. 189 (10%)
I didn’t wait. I already have tickets. 170 (9%)
I never planned to buy tickets. 1,558 (81%)
Ignore the hype; look at the results.

JDR: “Vinny’s not even close” to being ready for camp. Manuwai failed his physical and conditioning test. #Jaguars

Cain is legitimately hurt

Vince Manuwai and Jeremy Cain are on PUP, not the non-football injury list. Back issue for Cain, Vinny is out of shape. #Jaguars

And PotRoast is out of shape too

Terrance Knighton isn’t in shape either. He’s going to be held out of practice until he is. #Jaguars

Im used to it
His teammates call him pot roast, not turkey burger or protein shake

calling him protein shake…that would be awesome.
We need to tall his momma to knock it off with all the cooking. Put that boy on a dang diet! He should eat like my wife, she avoids carbs like they are poison.

I think he only eats carbs
So he’d have to go on a starvation diet

If he pumps iron, and runs
and eats a lot of protein, he will lose some fat, and pack on 5-10 lbs of muscle by the time the season rolls around.

Trading would be preferable to cutting
Get as many draft picks as we can. Plus I’m sure some team is still interested in Kung Fu Derrick lol

Sean Considine signs with Carolina...
Thank goodness, I was scared we might resign that garbage.
Fidelis Ad Mortem
I hope we sign some O-linemen soon. We need depth becuase age and injuries are an issue. There are some deals to be had out there.
And yes lets trade Harvey if there are some decent, young free agent DE’s left out there.
