Fixing the passrush: Plan A; B; and C is still in the mix

AUTHOR: | IN: Jaguars | COMMENTS: 7 Comments |

The free agency started almost 36 hours ago; but we are not any closer to a solution for the pass rush. All we know that all 3 option are still on the table.

Here is an update:

Plan A: The Jaguars didn’t give a contract that Reggie Hayward wanted (yet) or he simply decided to test the market. That is smart of him. According to Vito Stellino the Jaguars offered him more then the veteran minimum; but not much more. Reggie said he didn’t turn any offer down so the Jaguars still can bring him back if there is no better offer for him.

Update: Looks like Reggie think he is still part of the Jaguars organization: http://twitpic.com/16yco4 This Photo was made today morning!

Plan B: The news of the day is that Aaron Kampman is in Jacksonville after he left Philadelphia without a new contract. Well so far none of my or any other big sources confirm or denied that he is in Jacksonville. If the Jaguars sign him; well I think the position is almost fixed (with a new possible DE coming via draft…) But it will be not a cheap one, that’s for sure…

Plan C: Jared DeVries has been contacted by the Jaguars(as Michael C Wright talked about the Jaguars interest in him last week. MCW proves once again he is the best source with trusted credentials for us simple fans); and I think if Reggie Hayward and Aaron Kampman both end up going elsewhere he will probably get signed the next day.

So stay tuned Jaguars fans; more to come I think very soon! And you will hear it as fast as I do here at Black & Teal!

Story is ready since 2 hours ago; soon will be posted in Black&Teal.

Kampman has signed, apparently. Good news.

Michael C. Wright is reporting that Kampman has signed.

Let's hope they put a hook in Kampman. I think he'll be an upgrade.

For me, Plan A would be Kampman. Yeah, he is probably much more expensive than Heyward but this is the year to take the financial risk.(In terms of cap space anyway, I won't pretend to know how much money the front office has or what Weaver is thinking). From what I've been reading people question Kampman's ability to perform at a high level because of his ACL injury. Yeah, I'm worried about it too but not worried enough to think a 30 year old coming off a broken fibula is the better option.

Also, and I just noted this on BCC, according to Rotoworld Kampman never visited Philly, which bodes well.
