Fred Taylor contract

The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed RB Fred Taylor to a three-year contract extension.

The question is, why? With Maurice Jones-Drew, why keep the aging, injury prone Taylor around? I don't get it.

Cool Re: Fred Taylor contract

That's a good question, Lefty. And the signing baffles me. In a way, I understand it becase Jones-Drew is not a big guy, but it seems to me that they're tying up way too much money on an old running back who gets hurt all the time. They should take that money and put it into a receiver - Dante Stallworth for instance. From Realfootball365.com:

The Jags had arguably the worst receiving corps in the NFL last season. The trio of Matt Jones, Reggie Williams and Ernest Wilford combined for just over 1,700 yards receiving and 10 touchdowns -- hardly stellar numbers.

Not only were those statistics subpar, but it often looked like somebody sprayed the wideouts' fingers with butter. Dan Marino probably wouldn't have fared much better with this group.

So whether it's through free agency or the draft, the Jags must acquire a top-flight receiver. Donte' Stallworth and Drew Bennett are the two best unrestricted free agents with big-play ability. Joe Horn and Eric Moulds just became available after being released by the New Orleans Saints and the Houston Texans , respectively. Any of the aforementioned players would be major upgrades to the Jags' present group of pass catchers.
