Quote:

The youth movement at safety has officially begun, as the Jaguars informed Donovin Darius on Thursday morning that the team was releasing him. So ends the Jaguars career of the player who has started more games than any other defensive player in franchise history.

An influx of young talent at the safety position would seem to be at the root of Darius’ release. He’s coming off a season in which he sustained a broken leg in a week-11 game against the New York Giants. He missed 14 games in 2005 after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.

The Jaguars used their 2007 first-round draft choice on safety Reggie Nelson, then added safety Josh Gattis in round five. Third-year safety Gerald Sensabaugh is expected to step into a starting spot.

Darius had been sidelined during spring practices while he recovered from his broken leg.

It was what two years ago that they were doing all they could to keep him with the team.

He has sustained lots of injuries so releasing him is not bad at all. It is just now they have 2 rookies and a 3rd year player I have never heard of. What happened to Nick Sorensen? Why isn't he in this?

FatBear · 06-14-2007, 03:54 PM

Man, I never would've guessed they would ever get rid of him

The-Hammer · 06-14-2007, 03:56 PM

I wouldn't mind the pats going after him..

**BucBaller** · 06-14-2007, 04:08 PM

He is to old and injury prone now to play. His best option now is to retire.

Eh, he could still go to a team weak at safety and make some dough, which is probably what he wants anyways.

**BucBaller** · 06-14-2007, 04:24 PM

Heck yeah, that's all he wants. That was what that big debate a few years ago was over.

Vikings or Falcons were looking to get Landry in the draft, I am not comparing Darius to Landry, but as a consolation those are two possibilities if he is healthy enough to play.
