Holt deal gives Jags more freedom at No. 8
Quote:
Give the Jacksonville Jaguars some credit. Though they've not been big players in free agency, they have made a couple moves that alleviate the pressure on them to absolutely spend a high pick on certain spots.
ESPN.com senior writer John Clayton reports the Jaguars have a three-year agreement with free agent receiver Torry Holt, who in my eyes is automatically the best pass catcher on the team.
It can be worth as much as $20 million and comes with no bonus but a $4 million guaranteed base salary this season.
The Jaguars could still pounce on Michael Crabtree or Jeremy Maclin at No. 8 in the first round Saturday. After Holt, Dennis Northcutt, Mike Walker and Troy Williamson are the team's receivers and that's hardly an all-star collection.
But by signing Tra Thomas earlier this offseason, they eased the pressure to find a tackle. And by signing Holt they've eased the pressure to find a receiver.
