The Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be locked into signing free agent tight end Julius Thomas when the clock strikes 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, when free agency officially begins. It seems as though the Jaguars have had that worked out for quite a while, because there was a quick downturn in other suitors for Thomas.
In other news, the Jaguars appear to be making a big time push for running back Demarco Murray and are one of the teams interested in signing offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga. If the Jags can swing Thomas, Murray and Bulaga, boy what a haul that would be on the offensive side of the ball. Missing out on a veteran receiver won't be that big of a deal if you land all three of those.

Sounds like DeMarco Murray's camp is confident there are teams willing to pay $8M per year for his services. Will the #Cowboys step up?
