Jacksonville Jaguars Roundup

Shahid Khan now officially the owner of the Jaguars | jacksonville.com

In a deal that was first outlined by Wayne Weaver on a hotel napkin, Shahid Khan became the sole owner of the Jaguars at 1:35 p.m. Wednesday when an electronic wire transfer of funds was completed. In this digital age, no checks were written when the ownership was transferred from Weaver, the team's founding owner and his partners, to Khan.

But Sando knocked him off his final list as he parted ways with players from losing teams. I don’t have an issue with that. I think MJD is incredibly valuable. No non-QB in the league accounted for nearly as large a percentage of his team's yards.
