Unbelievable: Shahid Khan said choosing jaguars was the biggest mistake he has ever made…..
As the dust begins to settle on a crazy first week of free agency, it’s time to get to know a host of new faces in Jacksonville. Here are the biggest soundbites of the last seven days:
The Jacksonville Jaguars kicked off free agency really before it had even officially begun, signing former Buffalo Bills center Mitch Morse to a two-year deal. Speaking to the media last Wednesday, Morse identified two of the biggest reasons that attracted him to Duval County:
“I think it was kind of a slew of deals, so not only my familiarity with Doug [Pederson] in the past, I’ve always had a sense of trying to get back to him ever since he became a head coach. I thought it would kind of be a fun deal. The culture, we [the Bills] got absolutely smacked last year in London and I’ve been a big fan of that defense for a very long time as well as the offense of course. I think this is a quarterback-driven league and to win in this league you have to have a quarterback with the tangibles and the intangibles. I think Trevor [Lawrence] kind of embodies both of those things. So, that and the sunshine doesn’t hurt, right? Being able to get the joints lubed up a little and feeling my fingers in November and December, but that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy my time in Buffalo. It was home for so many years. The only thing I have to say is that it is a little warmer here so we’re looking forward to that.”
Protecting a trio of QB’s of the caliber of Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence is rarified air. Let’s hope Morse catches rays and helps make big plays during his time in Jacksonville.
