So how does this affect the draft for them

Not much. The team has already stated that they won't pursue a wide-receiver in the first round, and that won't change.

But if a guy like Jason Hill is available in the 2nd and he's the best available player, they'd probably take him.

One less possible destination for Stallworth. :)

Northcutt isn't really that good. He's a good KR, but below average at WR. IMO this won't effect much, maybe just there need at KR

You mean PR, but I kind of agree. I hope the front office and coaching staff sees something that we don't, but he does not have a good history as a receiver.

Ouch that seems alot of $$$. I couldnt see him starting a bidding war or anything

[JT Jag]

I'm guessing Joe DeCamillis, our ST Coordinator, was the one who pushed for this signing the most.

Combined with Northcutt being on the "short list" of free-agent wide receivers that Dirk Koetter assembled, imploring them to bring in at least one of them, he was a likely and logical signing. Office politics. He'll be a good returner for the team in the long-term and a good slot guy in the short-term.

All I can say is that you Jaguars fans better hope he only returns punts. Otherwise you're going to be VERY frustrated when he starts dropping half the passes thrown his way.

As a Browns fan I am happy to see Northcutt get paid. He is a good PR and runs the reverse pretty well he just needs some help with bring the ball in as a WR. Best of luck Dennis.

You admit to being a Browns fan......why? Just kidding, it is good to see him get paid and maybe he'll be involved more so on the offensive side of the ball.

I haven't seen him play much, so I just want to know: How often does he drop passes that hit him squarely on his hands after a good pass?

Or his he the sort of person that you most of the time end up finding yourself saying "Jeez... if you get your hand on it, you SHOULD be able to bring it in", after passes that he really has to work for?

This is exactly what I want to know.

You can keep him and the Randel El type of deal that he wants. ;)

northcutt has no hands, i hope for the jags sake hat they didnt pay too much

Dennis Northcutt is a top notch PUNT returner with pretty good speed who catches the ball like a fullback... a blocking fullback.

I don't think the Jags will be interested in taking Ted Ginn anymore now that they have their sepedy slot reciever.

They were never interested in Ted Ginn in the first place.

I hate how hardly anybody on this site ever listens to the Jaguar fans when it comes to their own team.
