The trade deadline in the NFL usually isn’t very exciting, but teams are becoming more and more willing to make deals as the salary cap balloons up.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have spent years hoarding cap space and they’ve been judiciously signing a few large free agent deals here and there.
With the team at 4-3 and a very clear path to win the division, it appears executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin wants to win now.
The Jaguars made a splash on Friday evening by trading for former All Pro defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (and his enormous contract), and now Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Jaguars would be in the market for former Detroit Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson.
