Josh Scobee signs with Jaguars, retires after 12 NFL seasons

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Josh Scobee watched the highlight video from a leather chair in the front row of Jacksonville's team meeting room, grinning ear to ear with every kick, every call and every celebration.

"That was great stuff," he said.

Not a bad career, either.

The 34-year-old Scobee signed a one-day, ceremonial contract with the Jaguars on Thursday and formally retired with the team that drafted him in 2004. Scobee called it quits after a dozen NFL seasons, including the first 11 in Jacksonville, and walked away as the franchise's all-time leading scorer.

He sat next to his wife, their two young boys, his mom, in-laws and former teammates as his career accomplishments were shown on a big screen.
