While the conversations around Julius Thomas and his place with the Jacksonville Jaguars continue, the Jags have reaffirmed their commitment to the pass-catching tight end by giving him money he was due following the 2017 Super Bowl.
Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk called the three million dollars that Thomas is due for being on the roster five days after the Super Bowl a commitment to the tight end. This is at least partly true, suggesting that with more money given to Thomas, the less likely the Jags are to cut him.
But that three million isn’t so cost prohibitive that if the Jags do find a better option or an option for the future that the team would be shy of moving on.
