Campbell didn't talk to Marrone before Jags signing

Upon signing with the Jaguars, Calais Campbell was sold on their bedrock of young talent and viewed himself as the final piece of the puzzle.

Before that? He didn't even get a chance to speak with head coach Doug Marrone or executive vice president Tom Coughlin.

"Afterwards," Campbell told the MMQB. "After I signed I talked to everybody. But before I signed I didn't talk to anybody. I had talked to guys who played for them. I feel like that's the way to do it. The one person that has given me good advice over the years is my (Cardinals) D-Line coach, Brentson Buckner.
