As the Jaguars continue one of the most dramatic one-season overhauls of a receiving corps that we've ever seen from any NFL team, they've announced that another rookie wideout has agreed to terms.
Under contract is fifth-round receiver Jarrett Dillard.
Terms were not disclosed.
The Jaguars have signed three of their nine draft picks, including receiver Mike Thomas.
Dillard, Thomas, and unsigned seventh-round rookie Tiquan Underwood will join veteran Torry Holt on a depth chart that shed Jerry Porter, Dennis Northcutt, Matt Jones, and Reggie Williams since the end of the 2008 season.
UPDATE: PFT's Aaron Wilson reports that Dillard's four-year deal includes a $192,300 signing bonus as well as a fourth-year escalator clause worth $1.308 million, according to a league source. The total maximum value of the deal is $2.685 million.

They could sign Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, TO, and Tim Brown and they still wouldnt be able to sell out a game. Jacksonville might be the most pathetic football town in the NFL.
It's time to start signing the linemen now.
Jarrett Dillard is gonna be such a better pro player then Michael Crabtree. To think the jags probally just spent 1/10th of what San Fran will be spending to Ink their Wideout.
And somehow Troy 'Nobody better lay a finger on my butterfingers' Williamson is still on the roster.
titan87,
We sold out every game last year in a 5-11 season. Why don't you pick on Minnesota who barely sold out their first playoff game in ages last year?
Tice,
He may not be around for long.
Williamson is still there because they like his 'catch & release' style of play - an example to other players of What NOT To Do.
Bulk him up and put him in the backfield - even in highschool he had more yards as a rushing that receiving.
Mike, you may want to put 1010xl's # is your new Sprint phone. You were supposed to be on just after Dillard...
He sounds like a really great kid.
Forgot to mention Mike Walker who is gonna BREAK OUT
torry will be a very good addition, does anyone on the roster have a ring??????/
samh
you didnt sell out crap you guys covered up seats with jaguar banners
Jacksonville averaged 65,167 a game in 2008.
That is more than:
Dallas
Pittsburgh
Chicago
Denver
San Francisco
Do I really have to keep going?
