After spending two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, wide receiver Troy Williamson will wear this team’s NFL jerseys for one more year as he has signed a one-year contract with the Jaguars, who promise to pay him $100,000 signing bonus and a workout bonus.
Williamson was scheduled to be a restricted free agent, but opted to sign a contract with the team that included guaranteed money. His base salary is slightly less than the $900,000 that the Baltimore Ravens offered to wide receiver Donte’ Stallworth on a one-year contract earlier this week.
Being picked by the Minnesota Vikings as a first-round draft pick, Williamson caught five passes last season as he caught only three passes. However, he ended his season early after he tore his labrum in September. His full career numbers are 87 caught passes for 1,131 yards and four touchdowns.

Jaguars RB Jones-Drew unhappy with team offense
After facing an embarrassing 41-0 loss to the Seahawks at Seattle, the Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew felt furious about how the team’s offense move on field.
“I don’t like to be embarrassed, so I do get upset about it,” Jones-Drew said. “You lead by actions. You can only say so much. You can talk to somebody until you’re blue in the face and they’re not going to do anything. But if you go out there and show why you’re upset and you try to do something to correct your mistakes, then they’ll pay attention.”
By calling himself the second-highest paid “decoy” in the league, behind New Orleans running back Reggie Bush, Jones-Drew expressed how disappointed he was with the team’s play-calling, lack of offensive identity and its constant shuffling of offensive linemen. Indeed the Jaguars’ performance in Seattle was disappointing enough to set the running back off: the team had seven three-and-out possessions, two fumbles and a failed fourth-down conversion on their final 10 drives during the game, and quarterback David Garrard was sacked four times and fumbled twice. What was more, they even received a season-high nine penalties for 73 yards.

Jaguars offering half-season ticket packages
In an effort to boost ticket sales in a economically difficult time, the Jacksonville Jaguars are offering half-season packages for half price.
The Jaguars unveiled the new packages Monday, allowing fans to purchase season tickets to five of the team’s 10 home games for $200.
One package includes games against Tampa Bay (preseason), Indianapolis, Arizona, St. Louis and Buffalo. The other one includes games against Miami (preseason), Washington, Tennessee, Kansas City and Houston. No games againt players wearing oakland raiders jersey.
The Jaguars made the new offer because they faces several television blackouts this season. Furthermore, ticket sales have slumped in recent years, even if they have owner Wayne Weaver cover up nearly 10,000 seats to lower ticket sales.
