Osgood experiment at receiver may not last long

When special teams ace Kassim Osgood joined the Jaguars, he had incentives built into his contract in case he became a productive wide receiver.

It looks like he won’t be earning that money.

Osgood reportedly didn’t look “comfortable or natural” over the weekend at wideout.

“Sideline talk among informed observers says the verdict is already in: the free-agent addition from San Diego is strictly an excellent special-teamer,” ESPN’s Paul Kuharsky wrote.

He’s a well-compensated special teamer, but the Jaguars have to look elsewhere to find a complement to Mike Sims-Walker. Mike Thomas looks to be David Garrard’s best hope.
