Fins have acquired Julius Thomas from the Jags for a draft pick - end essentially Branden Albert who will eventually be let go and sign with the Jags tomorrow from what is being reported.
Prior to being in Jax and getting hurt, Julius was a quality TE with the Broncos while Adam Gase was the OC.
He will be 29 once the season starts.
As I said, he is/was a quality TE before getting injured and arriving in Jax. But will be 29 once the season starts - so there is as much upside as there is downside in this move.
I both like and dislike it for said reasons. I was hoping, and still am hoping we acquire a TE in the draft - though unfortunately this move probably takes us out of the running for the top TEs available such as former Cane David Njoku and former Alabama TE OJ Howard.
I know this will be unpopular given the draft wishlist for most in here consisting of OL and defensive picks. But, I am hopeful we can still acquire one of these two with our first/ or other early round picks if available.
These are CANT MISS TEs and AG will need them in his offense. And with JT entering the mid-to-late portion of his playing days at that position - it would be nice to have someone we could groom for the future.
That said, I still believe in Dion Sims - and somewhat in Gray but the other two are just special.
Either way, good to see the Fins continuing to improve the team in every way possible. Its only just starting
