The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Torry Holt, offensive lineman Tra Thomas and defensive lineman Rob Meier, the team announced today.
“After completing our postseason roster evaluation, we’ve made the decision in the best interest of the organization to release three veteran players with tremendous playing history in the league,” Jaguars General Manager Gene Smith said. “All three players have played 10 or more years in the NFL and have made a positive impact on the Jaguars organization. These decisions certainly weren’t easy ones, as Torry, Tra and Rob have over 350 starts between them and they still have the ability contribute for other teams in the league.”
We’ve known for a while that Holt and Thomas would be cut, and the release of Meier, who spent 2009 on injured reserve, is no surprise. Smith has made it clear that the Jaguars want to get younger.
“I think we’ve laid a good foundation and we just need to continue to build,” Smith said. “We feel a lot better about our roster heading into the 2010 season.”
Must be making room to sign Tebow to an unwarranted $80 million contract.
does Holt even have anything left?
Holt and Bruce reunite with Martz in Chicago to create the greatest show in Wind.
The Jags had arguably the best draft in the league last year, and they continue to make good practice squad acquisitions and cut dead weight without hesitation.
So far their new GM seems to be the real deal, although anything would look good after the disaster that was “Shack” Harris…
Dear God & baby Jesus-PLEASE don’t let William Tra “falase start offense # 72″ return to Philly!!!
KING~out
holt & bruce reunite in chicago for the “greatest show with walking sticks & arthritis”.
As a Viking fan, I would love for TheGooch to be right. Sign Holt and Bruce, add two has beens to a terrible offense. Martz was a terrible decision by the Bears. Cutler will throw for a ton of yards, but he’ll throw even more INTs then usual, get sacked every other play, and the running game will be even more inept. I thought the Bears would try to change their mistakes this year, instead they signed an offensive coordinator who’s just going to excentuate those problems
Torry will come home to NC
Gooch,
Is that what that smell is? Or are you predicting?
theKing, you’d rather have King Dunlap as the backup LT in Philly? It took one snap for Dwight Freeney to get a sack against him.
