The Jacksonville Jaguars have released wide receiver Torry Holt, offensive lineman Tra Thomas and defensive lineman Rob Meier, the team announced today.

"After completing our postseason roster evaluation, we've made the decision in the best interest of the organization to release three veteran players with tremendous playing history in the league," Jaguars General Manager Gene Smith said. "All three players have played 10 or more years in the NFL and have made a positive impact on the Jaguars organization. These decisions certainly weren't easy ones, as Torry, Tra and Rob have over 350 starts between them and they still have the ability contribute for other teams in the league."

We've known for a while that Holt and Thomas would be cut, and the release of Meier, who spent 2009 on injured reserve, is no surprise. Smith has made it clear that the Jaguars want to get younger.

"I think we've laid a good foundation and we just need to continue to build," Smith said. "We feel a lot better about our roster heading into the 2010 season."

Are you guys high?

Really? Sign Torry Holt? The guy's best days are behind him. Hell, his final mediocre years are far behind him. He's s great, nice guy that's tied to North Carolina, but comeon. His career is over. We need to think young, not old, at WR.

sign Holt and draft a WR. Holt still has about 3 years or so left in him. thats a good amount of time for a WR to get use to the NFL.

This offense does not suit Holt's talents, or the talents he once had. The perfect compilment to Smith is actually Moose, or again the Moose that we once knew. We don't need speed guy, we need a guy like Welker who will either a) take pressure of Smith or B) make a lot of catches while Smith is being doubled.

Holt wouldn't be used to replace Moose. Ricky Prohel was needed to get Carolina to the SB in 03

Agreed but Holt was never a Ricky Prohel type of reciever and I don't think, although I could be wrong, he could adjust to become one. In that situation I think Moose is actually the best person out there to take on the "Prohel" type of position but they have to find someone to be the #2 reciever that is better than Moose to take his spot first.

With that being said, there is nothing wrong with bringing Holt in to try out as long as the excpection isn't that he is going to be a #2 and the money isn't so high that it takes away from what could be spent on other players/positions.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
