In April, the Jaguars acquired the rights to Brandon Marshall. But he’s not the Brandon Marshall who used to catch passes for the Dolphins and the Broncos, and who now plays for the Bears. He’s the Brandon Marshall who played linebacker at Nevada, and whom the Jags picked in round five of the 2012 draft.

On Tuesday, the Jags signed the other Brandon Marshall to a contract. He’s the fourth of the team’s six picks to sign.

Unsigned are first-round receiver Justin Blackmon (who already is emulating the original Brandon Marshall, in the wrong way) and third-round punter Brian Anger.
