The Jacksonville Jaguars have had no discussions about a contract extension with Maurice Jones-Drew, according to the Florida Times-Union.

Jones-Drew currently has two years remaining on a five-year, $31 million deal he signed in 2009. He is still owed $9.4 million on that deal. There has been speculation, however, that Jones-Drew would like to rework his deal prior to the 2012 season.

The Jaguars running back has not reported to a voluntary offseason workout program, however neither Jones-Drew nor his agent has indicated that he is holding out for a deal.

Last season the 27-year-old led the NFL in rushing with 1,606 yards. He also recorded eight touchdowns on the ground and three through the air.

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive tackle Terrance Knighton will miss the first three months of team workouts while recovering from eye surgery, according to NFL.com. Knighton sustained the injury outside a Jacksonville night club earlier this month.

Reports of the incident vary, but one suggests that Knighton and others were kicked out of the night club for fighting, and they threatened to return and “shoot people.”

Still, the Jaguars are sticking by Knighton and plan to monitor him during his absence.

Jaguars defensive tackle Terrance Knighton’s eye surgery went well and he plans on making a full recovery, according to The Florida Times Union.

“Thank you everyone for the support,” Knighton tweeted, making his first public comments since he suffered the injury Sunday morning. “I plan on making a full recovery. Thank you fans, family and friends.”

Knighton suffered a serious injury, but the prognosis seems positive and should not be career threatening. The injury reportedly came after a bar fight between his friend and a stranger.

“It wasn’t his altercation; it wasn’t his argument,” his agent, Tony Fleming said. “Terrance was not involved in the altercation. His friend was involved.”

Knighton is entering his fourth season with the Jaguars after being drafted in the third round in 2009. Last season he had 29 tackles. During his career with the Jaguars he has had 108 tackles, one forced fumble, and 5.5 sacks.

There have been numerous rumors this offseason about the future of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ coaching situation, ranging from a potential first-round draft pick at QB to the remote possibility of the Jags trading for Tim Tebow. But coach Mike Mularkey is looking to put all the speculation to bed, instead telling the Associated Press that he’s committed to Blaine Gabbert as his starter for the 2012 season.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to work with him,” Mularkey said. “I’d like to give him a chance with some of the things we’re going to hopefully help him do. We feel like we can help him develop his talents. There’s a lot that he does very well and we just need to get that to be a consistent thing.”

Gabbert was one of the NFL’s least productive starting quarterbacks last season — he earned the job in September but went on to complete just 50.8 percent of his passes, amassing 2,214 yards, 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The Jags lost five straight games early on, eventually finishing 5-11.

“Some of the criticism was pretty intense,” Gabbert told the AP. “You’re always going to get criticized; people need something to talk about. When the coaches say I’m doing fine, I trust their opinion because that’s the only one that matters. You can’t worry about what everybody is saying about your game. You’ve just got to focus on the things that you can control and the things you can improve on.”

Gabbert, 22, was the Jaguars’ first-round pick in the draft last year, No. 10 overall, out of Missouri. He’s 4-10 as a starter so far in his young career.

Tim Tebow seemed destined to end up with the New York Jets Wednesday, but the deal fell through. Now several outlets are reporting that the Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars are the only teams still pursuing the quarterback.

On Tuesday, a friend of Tebow’s said that he would prefer to play in Florida.

Teams have been interested in Tebow since the Denver Broncos signed quarterback Peyton Manning earlier in the week.

The Miami Dolphins have found themselves a new quarterback — or a new backup, or something. It’s not entirely clear. In any event, the Dolphins have signed David Garrard, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.

Garrard spent nine seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including 2007 when he won nine of his 12 starts and led the Jags to the AFC playoffs. He didn’t play at all last season — Jacksonville released him just days before the start of the regular season, and he chose to undergo back surgery rather than try catching on with another team.

The 34-year-old signalcaller now moves to South Florida, where he may start for the Dolphins or he may not. Garrard will have to compete for incumbent starter Matt Moore for time under center — and of course, the Dolphins also still have the No. 8 overall pick in next month’s draft, meaning they could have a shot at Texas A&M standout Ryan Tannehill.

Garrard is 39-37 in the NFL as a starter for his career. He’s completed 61.6 percent of his passes for 16,003 yards, 89 touchdowns and 54 interceptions.

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Laurent Robinson and former Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne on Wednesday, according to the Florida Times-Union.

Robinson confirmed the signing via Twitter by thanking the Cowboys organization and welcoming his new career in Jacksonville.  Last season as a Cowboy, Robinson compiled 858 yards and 11 touchdowns, more receiving touchdowns than any other Cowboys player.

Henne was the starter in Miami a little over two years until he sustained a shoulder injury early last season, allowing Matt Moore to take over.  Henne will now compete with Jaguars second-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert for the starting job.

Free-agent quarterback Chad Henne has agreed to a two-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com.

Henne, 26, started four games for the Dolphins last season before being placed on the injured reserve because of a shoulder injury. In those four games, he threw for 868 yards, four touchdowns and four interceptions. He started the 27 games for the Dolphins in 2009 and 2010 and has a career 75.7 quarterback rating.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed free-agent wide receiver Laurent Robinson to a five-year, $32.5 million contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Last season with the Cowboys, Robinson, 26, had 54 catches for 858 yards and 11 touchdowns, all of which were career-highs. A third-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 2007, Robinson has 143 catches for 1,858 yards and 15 touchdowns in his career.

The Jacksonville Jaguars released wide receiver and special teams star Kassim Osgood today, according to a tweet form Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.

Jags are releasing Kaseem Osgood, one of top special teams mavens of the past decade.

Osgood was due a 2012 base salary of over $2 million, but will now likely settle for a deal worth closer to the league minimum.

The three-time Pro Bowl and All-Pro selection had five receptions for 42 yards last season. He will be 32 this year and has played nine season in the NFL where he has totaled 42 receptions for 730 yards and has scored five touchdowns.

Cornerback Rashean Mathis will remain with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to the Associated Press. Mathis has agreed to an incentive-laden one-year contract with the Jags, possibly worth up to $5 million.

Mathis has spent his entire nine-year pro career with the Jaguars. He was a second-round draft pick out of Bethune-Cookman University in 2003.

Mathis, who turns 32 in August, missed the last seven games of the 2011 season with a torn ACL in his left knee. He also missed six games in 2009 and four games in 2008.

The veteran corner has 538 tackles and a Jaguars franchise record of 30 interceptions in 125 career games.

Earlier this week, news broke that the Denver Broncos were strongly considering former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio for their defensive coordinator opening. Now it appears official:

Denver hired Jack Del Rio as its defensive coordinator.

Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 28, 2012

Del Rio replaces Dennis Allen, who left the Broncos to become the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. He’s the fifth defensive coordinator in Denver in five years. Del Rio and Broncos head coach John Fox have worked together before, as DC and head coach for the 2002 Carolina Panthers.

Del Rio spent eight seasons and part of a ninth as head coach in Jacksonville, compiling a career record of 68-71. He was fired after a 3-8 start to the Jaguars’ 2011 season.

The Denver Broncos are strongly considering former Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio as possible candidate for the defensive coordinator position according to NFL.com.

Del Rio would potentially replace Dennis Allen, who recently left Denver to become the Oakland Raiders next head coach. Allen’s departure has left the Broncos defensive coordinator position vacant for the fifth consecutive year.

In 2002, Del Rio served as defensive coordinator under current Broncos head coach John Fox when both were with the Carolina Panthers.   That year, the Panthers went 7-9, a vast improvement from their 1-15 2001 season.

Del Rio was hired as the Jaguars head coach in 2003.  In 2011 he was fired by Jacksonville after posting a 3-8 record to begin the season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will hire Mike Mularkey as their next head coach, according to the Florida Times-Union. Mularkey has been the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons since 2008.

The report indicates that a major draw for the Jaguars was Mularkey’s ability to mold Matt Ryan into a top tier NFL quarterback. Jacksonvile started rookie Blaine Gabbert for most of the season at quarterback and they hope Mularkey can have the same success.

Mularkey, 50, was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills in 2004 and ’05, going 14-18.

Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy had an interview scheduled for today with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their vacant head coaching position, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, however he was forced to reschedule after his club’s overtime victory over the heavily favored Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday evening.

McCoy has served as the Broncos offensive coordinator since 2009. He had previously served as a quarterbacks coach and an offensive assistant under current Broncos head coach John Fox when Fox roamed the sidelines for the Carolina Panthers.

The Jaguars head coaching position became available after outgoing owner Wayne Weaver fired longtime head coach Jack Del Rio as his last move as owner before selling the team to Shahid Khan. Del Rio had served as the head coach for Jacksonville since 2003.

Some reports have indicated that Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator, Jay Gruden, is the favorite to land the Jaguars’ position. The Bengals were eliminated from the playoffs Saturday after a 31-10 loss to the Houston Texans.

In an appearance on “Jaguars This Week,” new Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan reaffirmed that Blaine Gabbert is the team’s franchise quarterback.

“I think he [Gabbert] is going to be a great quarterback,” Khan said, according to The Florida Times-Union. “ I think he is our franchise quarterback. I think he needs development. We want to develop him. We want to give him tools. A dedicated coach. And I think he’s going to be great.”

In his first season under center, Gabbert threw for 2,214 yards, 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 14 games as the starter for the Jaguars. Jacksonville had selected him No. 10 overall in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Jacksonville is looking for a new head coach after making the decision to fire Jack Del Rio Nov. 29 after a 3-8 start. Former owner Wayne Weaver agreed to sell the team several hours later.

Former Jacksonville Jaguars star running back Fred Taylor doesn’t think recently fired head coach Jack Del Rio is fit to be a head coach, according to Yahoo! Sports.

“At the end of the day, [Del Rio]‘s not a head coach,” Taylor told Yahoo!. “He’s a great defensive coach. But he’s not a head coach.”

Del Rio was fired by parting owner Wayne Weaver Tuesday morning, shortly after the team had lost its eighth game of the season. Weaver had given Del Rio a clear goal that the team would have to make the playoffs in 2011 for him to keep his job. The Jaguars had finished a promising 8-8 in 2010, however with the team earning their eighth loss of the season this weekend, it is not mathematically possible for them to improve upon last year’s finish.

Del Rio, 48, had posted a 68-70 record as Jacksonville’s head coach since joining the team in 2003. In 2002, Del Rio served as the defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, and he has also spent time as an assistant defensive coach for the Baltimore Ravens and the New Orleans Saints.

Taylor played for the Jaguars for 11 years from 1998-2008, and under Del Rio for six of those years. Del Rio recorded his only three winning seasons with Taylor as his running back.

Update 11:23 - Sports Illustrated’s Peter King is reporting that Pakistani entrepreneur Shahid Khan will buy the Jaguars. He is expected to confirm today that he will keep the team in Jacksonville. According to King, Khan attempted to purchase the St. Louis Rams but lost out to Stan Kroenke in 2010.

Original: 11:18 - Adam Schefter of ESPN.com is reporting that Jacksonville Jaguars employees were informed today that the team is being sold. The team is expected to remain in Jacksonville.

Over the past several months there have been reports that current owner Wayne Weaver would be willing to sell the team. Some had speculated that this meant the franchise could move to Los Angeles in the near future, however, ESPN is reporting that the team will not relocate under the new ownership.

The report of an ownership change continues a busy day for the Jaguars who fired their head coach of nine seasons, Jack Del Rio, this morning, and who have also reportedly extended general manager Gene Smith for another three years.

Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will reportedly take over as interim head coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars after the recent firing of Jack Del Rio, according to The Florida Times Union.

Del Rio was fired this morning, according to reports from ESPN, after leading the Jaguars to a 3-8 start to the 2011 season.  Team owner Wayne Weaver had given Del Rio a clear goal this season of making the playoffs in 2011 in order to keep his job.

Tucker has previously served as both a defensive backs coach and a defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns, this will be his first time serving in the NFL as a head coach. The 39-year-old has been with the Jaguars since 2009.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Jack Del Rio, sources have told ESPN.com. The team is expected to announce their decision today at noon.

Jacksonville has gone just 3-8 through 11 games this season. Team owner Wayne Weaver gave Del Rio a clear goal of making the playoffs in 2011 in order to keep his job. The Jaguars had finished a promising 8-8 in 2010, however with the team earning their eighth loss of the season this weekend, it is not mathematically possible for them to improve upon last year’s finish.

“If we’re not in the playoffs, it’s pretty apparent we’ll have a different coach,” Weaver said in January.

Del Rio, 48, had posted a 68-70 record as Jacksonville’s head coach since joining the team in 2003. In nine seasons he led the Jaguars to a winning record just three times, and had just two playoff appearances. The team’s best season under Del Rio came in 2005 when they finished 12-4.

In 2002 Del Rio served as the defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers. He has also been an assistant coach for the Baltimore Ravens and the New Orleans Saints.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie QB Blaine Gabbert was pulled in the fourth quarter of his team’s loss to the Houston Texans, but all indications are that he’ll return to his starting role when the team takes the field next week.

“Blaine is our starting quarterback until I tell you otherwise,” Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio said after the game, according to NFL.com.

And according to CBSSports.com, at least one Jaguars player, wide receiver Mike Thomas, publicly supported the decision.  “There is no question that he is going to be the future of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ organization,” Thomas said according to the report, “so we just have to get back to work.”

Gabbert left the game having completed 13-of-29 passes for 136 yards and 1 interception, for a QB rating of 44.6.
