After years of a long, struggling rebuild under head coach Gus Bradley, most fans think its back to the drawing board for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
New executive vice president for football operations Tom Coughlin thinks otherwise. Or at least that’s the way his offseason moves seem to communicate.
The pursuit of left tackle Branden Albert via trade with the Miami Dolphins is the latest move to suggest that the Jags are ready and willing to invest in winning now rather than later. Shipping off a talented, young tight end like Julius Thomas for an aging left tackle is the kind of move that teams ready to open a Super Bowl window do more than teams bogged down in a rebuild.
