The Detroit Lions have agreed to terms with free-agent WR Jarett Dillard (Jaguars). Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team worked Dillard out Monday, June 11, and decided to add him.

  Jaguars | Battle for No. 3 WR    Sat Aug 6, 06:42 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie WR Cecil Shorts III is battling with Jarett Dillard for the team's No. 3 receiver role.

Footballguys view: Dillard has flashed when he has been on the field, but that has been rare during his two years in the league. Shorts is already developing a great rapport with #10 overall pick QB Blaine Gabbert, so Dillard must stay healthy to get that #3 job.

  Jaguars | Three WRs could compete for one spot    Thu Jul 7, 01:46 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WRs Jarett Dillard, Tiquan Underwood and Nate Hughes could be competing for the No. 5 wide receiver roster spot during training camp.

Footballguys view: Dillard has the most natural ability of the trio by far, and we expect him to make the team as long as he stays healthy - which has been far from a given in his pro career.

  Jaguars | Jarrett Dillard expected to compete for No. 3 WR job    Fri May 27, 05:56 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jarett Dillard is expected to compete for the No. 3 wide receiver job during training camp.

Footballguys view: Dillard has flashed a little in very limited playing time during his first two years, but he has spent most of his career injured on the sidelines. He's worth a roster spot in very deep dynasty leagues, but his star is dimming.

  Jaguars | Believe Jarett Dillard can have breakout year    Fri Mar 4, 03:47 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Gene Smith said the teams believes WR Jarett Dillard is a candidate to have a breakout year next season, reports ESPN's Paul Kuharsky.

Footballguys view: Dillard is not the biggest wide receiver, but he is a phenomenal athlete with an incredible vertical leap. With Mike Sims-Walker gone the Jaguars need a receiver to elevate his game and Dillard is the guy. Injuries have plagued his career so far, but he has high upside if he can only stay healthy.

  Jaguars | Jarett Dillard placed on IR    Sat Sep 11, 07:39 PM

Updating a previous report, the Jacksonville Jaguars have placed WR Jarett Dillard (foot) on Injured Reserve, ending his 2010 season, according to Jaguars.com.

Footballguys view: It's a tough blow for the young wideout in his second season. He suffered a broken ankle in week ten last year and now will miss the entire 2010 season. We'll see if he can shake the injury bug next year. We like his upside but he's only worth rostering in deep dynasty leagues.

  Jaguars | Jarett Dillard says he is 100 percent    Tue Aug 24, 09:30 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jarett Dillard (foot) recently returned to practice and says he is 100 percent, reports Vic Ketchman, of Jaguars.com. Dillard said, "Physically I'm 100 percent. Now it's just the timing with the quarterback."

Footballguys view: Dillard has a good chance to be in three-wide sets as he was specifically mentioned by head coach Jack Del Rio as one of the contenders for the second WR job before he got hurt. Mike Thomas probably has the #2 job locked up, but Dillard will contribute this year.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Jarett Dillard (undisclosed) is expected to come off the Physically Unable to Perform list in the near future, reports Vic Ketchman, of Jaguars.com.

Footballguys view: Dillard has a shot to win a starting job if he can outperform Mike Thomas, but Thomas is having a good camp and it might be difficult for Dillard to make up for lost time.

  Jaguars | Searching for a No. 2 receiver    Sat Jul 31, 10:31 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars are searching for a No. 2 receiver to start opposite of Mike Sims-Walker this year, reports The Associated Press. WRs Troy Williamson, Jarett Dillard, Clarence Denmark, Nate Hughes, Mike Thomas, Tiquan Underwood and Kassim Osgood are all in the mix during training camp. Dillard and Thomas are currently considered the front runners.

Footballguys view: Dillard and Thomas are promising young talents, but it's hard to picture this position producing significant fantasy output this year unless Mike Sims-Walker gets hurt again and David Garrard's game picks up from last year's level.

  Jaguars | Dirk Koetter mentions two for No. WR job    Sat May 15, 07:39 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter mentioned WR Mike Thomas and WR Jarett Dillard as possible options for the team's No. 2 receiver spot, reports Jaguars.com's Vic Ketchman.

Footballguys view: It's interesting that he didn't mention veteran Troy Williamson when answering the question about the Jags #2 receiver. Mike Thomas might be better suited as a slot receiver because of his size and run after the catch ability. Jarett Dillard is extremely athletic, and can effectively high point passes in the red zone. He spent most of his rookie season on Injured Reserve and now will have to prove he can become a more sophisticated route runner if he wants a starting job.

  Jaguars | Looking for competition amongst wide receivers    Tue Apr 13, 03:00 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking for a No. 2 receiver to start opposite of WR Mike Sims-Walker, according to Michael C. Wright, of The Florida Times Union. WR Troy Williamson may be the favorite to win the No. 2 role, and the Jaguars would like to create more competition for the final three receiver spots. WRs Kassim Osgood, Mike Thomas, Jarett Dillard, Tiquan Underwood and Nate Hughes are all in the mix, plus the team is likely to select a receiver at some point during the NFL Draft.

Footballguys view: The Jags have some good young receivers with high upside. We really like Jarett Dillard because of his natural athleticism and strong hands. We also think Tiquan Underwood could develop into a solid contributor at this level. However, both are unproven and will have to work hard to compete with Mike Sims-Walker and Mike Thomas for playing time.

  Jaguars | Dillard signs    Fri Jul 17, 02:19 PM

Jaguars.com reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have signed fifth-round draft choice WR Jarett Dillard. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Mike Thomas might see the field first because his speed makes him the better slot receiver, but we think Dillard's fantastic hip sink in his routes, sticky hands, and amazing ups will get him in the starting lineup first out of the Jags crop of rookie wide receivers - although it won't happen this year without an injury to Mike Walker or Torry Holt.

  Jaguars | Jockeying for position at wide receiver    Fri May 1, 01:38 PM

Michael C. Wright, of The Times-Union, reports Jacksonville Jaguars rookie WRs Mike Thomas and Jarett Dillard will compete for playing time in the slot. Rookie WR Tiquan Underwood will work on the outside as a reserve, while WRs Troy Williamson and D'Juan Woods also factor into the mix.

Footballguys view: Mike Thomas and Jarett Dillard will have a heated battle in training camp for that slot position. Dillard has amazing leaping ability and soft hands, Thomas is quick off the line and has great run after the catch ability. The Jags could find that both of these young WRs need to be on the field at the same time.
