Julius Thomas may be cut by Jaguars in 2017
The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to release tight end Julius Thomas this offseason, according to ESPN reporter Mike DiRocco.
Thomas was signed to a monster five-year, $46 million deal ahead of the 2015 season but missed 11 games to injuries and has been ill-used. The Jaguars failed to use him like the Denver Broncos did as a field-stretcher down the seams. Thomas isn't going to make defenders miss on short passes; he's a run-straight athlete who could benefit playing in an offense that better plays to his strengths. Releasing Thomas would save the Jaguars $4.7 million against the cap.
Thomas has accrued 736 yards and 9 touchdowns on 76 receptions over the last two years. He's put up 0.54 and 0.42 Reception Net Expected Points per target, respectively, over the last two seasons.
