It wouldn’t necessarily be big news that the Jaguars waived fullback Bradie Ewing.
But it is reasonably interesting that they don’t have any now, as Hays Carlyon of the Florida Times-Union points out.
The Jaguars made a run at DeMarco Murray, which tells you they wanted to upgrade there. And claiming Bernard Pierce off waivers shows you they’re going to look high and low for more bodies at running back.
And with Denard Robinson showing some flashes there, it makes you wonder what their intentions are for last year’s free agent pickup, Toby Gerhart.
To call his debut season with the Jaguars a disappointment would be kind, averaging 3.2 yards per carry after an early foot injury he couldn’t seem to shake.
Whether he could return to his form if healthy remains to be seen. Now, it’s worth watching to see if they simply turn him into a fullback, and try to get something for that three-year, $10.5 million contract they gave him a year ago.
There have been reports they want to turn him into an H-back, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Media points, out, which seems like as good an idea as anything.
