We reported Friday that Chargers special-teams ace Kassim Osgood would launch his free-agent tour in Jacksonville.
Michael C. Wright of the Florida Times-Union noted earlier today that, indeed, Osgood is in Jacksonville, meeting with the Jaguars.
Per a league source, Osgood and the Jags are working on a deal. There’s a chance it gets wrapped up today.
Which means that there’s a chance that it won’t be.
We’re told that two other teams have strong interest in Osgood. For now, however, he’s in Jacksonville — by all appearances (and to borrow a term that has become common over the past couple of days) it’s the Jags’ deal to lose.

Osgood and Montel Owens on Special Teams together…wow!
Osgood a good fit for the Jags. They let speedster Witherspoon go, and they don’t want to risk MJD or Mike Thomas to injury returning kicks. Especially considering Thomas had ball security issues this past season. The Jags will continue to strengthen their roster through the draft and low cost low risk sigings. They learned their lesson with Jerry Porter, and Hugh (BUST) Douglas, hopefully…I feel they are on the right track to bring a winner to Jacksonville/LA.
Get it done!
The deal is done
Jacksonville, where players go never to be heard from again.
Agreed to terms, post ur BS florihole.
