Jaguars, Dolphins still working to finalize Branden Albert for Julius Thomas trade

Say what you want about the moves the Jaguars made this offseason to shake things up, but you certainly can’t say that new vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin is going to stand pat. The future hall of fame coach has added intrigue to a normally dormant part of the NFL offseason by inquiring about Miami Dolphins left tackle Branden Albert.

Reports surfaced about the Jaguars interest in Albert last week, with more details later indicating the Jaguars wanted to do a straight-up swap with former free agent signing Julius Thomas. Most consider this to be a very fair deal, one in which the Jaguars can get rid of a free-agent miss to get a stop-gap left tackle.
