An early Week 14 upset: The Jaguars-Raiders game looks like the most intriguing early contest on the schedule.

Adding a little spice to the matchup is defensive tackle “Big John” Henderson’s return to Jacksonville. Henderson is still not happy with how things ended with the team.

“It’s going to feel good to go and whip somebody’s you know what,” Henderson said via the Florida Times-Union. “I hope he [Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio] goes and puts it on his bulletin board, too. They better bring it. That’s all I gotta say.”

Henderson called the Jaguars “unprofessional” for not calling him to say that he was released back in April.

Asked for comment, Jaguars G.M. Gene Smith said “Consider the source.”

One thing that can’t be argued: The Jaguars made the right move in cutting Henderson. Defensive tackle Tyson Alualu has proven to be a very good top ten pick. He helps give the Jaguars defense an identity up front, along with Terrance “Pot Roast” Knighton.

Just like Henderson and Marcus Stroud did years ago.
