Jaguars | Paul Posluszny vows to be ready Tue Jan 27, 11:15 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars LB Paul Posluszny (pectoral) said Monday, Jan. 26, that he is progressing nicely in his recovery from a torn pectoral muscle. 'I'm pretty much back to normal,' Posluszny said.
| Footballguys view: Posluszny is a fine athlete, but he seems to be always banged up. He has resumed weightlifting and vows to be ready for the team's offseason program which begins in mid-April. |

Jacksonville Jaguars LB Paul Posluszny (chest) said Monday, Jan. 26, that he is back to lifting after dealing with a torn pectoral muscle last season, and he expects to be 100% when offseason activities begin in April.
| Footballguys view: The story with Posluszny will always read "what might have been." He's a fantastic athlete who can fly around the field. Posluszny arrives at the ball with natural violence and can be a disruptive player on the defense. Too bad he's almost always banged up. We're hopeful he can stay healthy and shine for the Jaguars defense in 2015. |

Jaguars | Justin Blackmon to return in 2015? Sun Jan 25, 09:13 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon has overcome his issues, and plenty of league sources expect him to be back with the team in 2015.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars aren't counting on Blackmon right now, but if he can play it's a huge bonus. Like Josh Gordon, Blackmon is incredibly talented but had substance-abuse problems. If he's clean, Blackmon will be the best wide receiver on the team and give QB Blake Bortles a quality weapon to throw to. Stay tuned. |

Jaguars | Blake Bortles to work out with receivers Sun Jan 25, 09:58 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles said he plans to have a passing camp in Southern California in February with his wide receivers, tight ends and running backs in order to work on their chemistry.
| Footballguys view: We like the motivation of this young quarterback. Bortles did not improve much as a rookie, but he gained valuable experience as a 14-game starter. Working with his receivers should help them have better chemistry on the field this next season. |

Jaguars | Blake Bortles should benefit from new OC Wed Jan 21, 03:36 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles should be able to develop under new offensive coordinator Greg Olson, according to general manager Dave Caldwell. Caldwell said Olson has the ability to develop quarterbacks and that his style of offense is tailored for young players.
| Footballguys view: Bortles had some struggles as a rookie this year, which had to be expected. While he didn't improve much in his first season, Bortles did get plenty of experience. We'll see if the Jaguars can put better talent around him in 2015. |

Jaguars | Blake Bortles developed bad habits Wed Jan 21, 03:05 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles developed bad habits and may need to start over, in the opinion of NFL Films guru Greg Cosell.
| Footballguys view: Those habits were already developed in college at Central Florida. Bortles has always been more of a facilitator than a playmaker at the quarterback position. Last year did nothing to change that standpoint. |

Former Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Greg Olson was hired by the Jacksonville Jaguars to be their offensive coordinator Wednesday, Jan. 21.
Link to story Jaguars | Jags committed to zone-blocking scheme Tue Jan 20, 05:30 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley said the team is committed to remaining a zone-blocking team. However, new assistant coach and offensive line coach Doug Marrone didn't use a zone-blocking scheme while with the Buffalo Bills, and he has preferred bigger offensive linemen. Buffalo had the league's heaviest offensive line in his two seasons as head coach. Regardless, Bradley wants his offense committed to the run to take the pressure off QB Blake Bortles.
| Footballguys view: The situation with Marrone is a curious one. We'll see what kind of ground game they build in Jacksonville, but we agree that it's wise to have a strong one to help out their young quarterback. |
Jaguars | George Yarno won't return Tue Jan 20, 12:58 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars offensive line coach George Yarno will not return to the team next year after the team hired Doug Marrone as their new assistant head coach and offensive line coach, according to a team spokesman. Yarno continues to receive treatment for cancer after being diagnosed last May.

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent FB Greg Jones Thursday, Jan. 15. It was a one-day contract so Jones could officially retire as a Jaguar.
| Footballguys view: Nice move here. Jones carved out a nice pro career after coming out of Florida State years ago. He won't show up much in the stat box, but Jones was a punishing fullback who could smash open holes for the back behind him. |

Jaguars | Jags not interested in Marc Trestman? Wed Jan 14, 10:36 PM
Free-agent coach Marc Trestman (Bears) made a push for a shot at the Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator position but has not gotten a look.
| Footballguys view: Trestman is making the rounds, but he hasn't found a home yet. While he has been a great offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in the NFL, might his quick failure in Chicago be keeping him on the shelf? We'll see if someone wants to see what he can do as a coordinator soon enough. |
Jaguars | Doug Marrone spotted in Jacksonville Wed Jan 14, 10:33 PM
Free-agent head coach Doug Marrone (Bills) was spotted at EverBank Field, home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Wednesday, Jan. 14. The Jaguars are looking to fill their offensive coordinator position after firing Jedd Fisch Dec. 30.
Link to story Jaguars | Leaning away from Marc Trestman Fri Jan 9, 07:24 AM
The Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be leaning away from Marc Trestman as an offensive coordinator candidate at this time.
| Footballguys view: That would be a fine move for the Jaguars. Trestman would be able to craft an offense around Blake Bortles that best suits his skill set. |

Jaguars | Arrelious Benn signed Wed Dec 31, 08:35 PM
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free-agent WR Arrelious Benn (Eagles) to a two-year deal Wednesday, Dec. 31, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Benn has failed to stay healthy and impress during his time as a pro. When he came out of Illinois as a second-round pick for the Buccaneers in 2010, Benn had some upside because of his size and run-after-the-catch ability. Now, only deep dynasty owners should be monitoring his progress. |

Jaguars | Jags not counting on Justin Blackmon Tue Dec 30, 01:46 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon isn't necessarily in the team's plans for next season, according to general manager David Caldwell. However, the team would like to have him on the field if he's ready, and they aren't expected to release him, either. 'I think we have to treat it as a luxury. If he comes back that's great, if he doesn't -- we can't count on it. We feel good about the three guys we've got and if he comes back that's even better,' Caldwell said.
| Footballguys view: We're just hoping that Blackmon is getting his life back on track. The Jags have heard that Blackmon has dedicated himself to being healthier and returning to football. Jacksonville is under no financial obligation to keep Blackmon since he's not currently on the roster. It would be a huge boost for the offense if Blackmon was sober and back on the football field. |

Jacksonville Jaguars DT Sen'Derrick Marks (knee) will have surgery to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Monday, Dec. 29. Marks suffered the injury in Week 17.
| Footballguys view: Just a bad way to end the season for Marks. With this surgery, Marks faces a long road to recovery. His status for the start of training camp--or the start of the regular season--is very much in doubt. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Toby Gerhart (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the team's Week 17 game and is considered questionable to return.
| Footballguys view: Gerhart has had trouble staying healthy in his chance to be a feature back this year. The Jaguars got some good work from Denard Robinson this season, but they could definitely be in the amrket for a back in 2015. |

Bortles was running bootlegs and scrambling all over the field against the Titans. 'If I was able to play, I was going to go play like I know how, like I do,' Bortles said. 'I wasn't going to go out there if I couldn't run around and move and help the offense at all.' He finished the game with 50 yards rushing on five carries.
