Holt to be released
|
February 06 04:40 PM According to the Florida Times-Union, Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver Torry Holt has been informed he will not return to the team in 2010. The 33 year-old former first-round pick had 51 catches for 722 yards in 2009, but did not manage to find the end-zone last season. Teams are not permitted to officially begin releasing players until Monday, but the Jaguars reportedly wanted to give the veteran a chance to begin selling his services in hopes of quickly landing with another organization.

The Jaguars realize they need to find a true playmaker to start opposite oft-injured receiver Mike Sims-Walker next season. And though Holt still has reliable hands and is considered one of the most precise route-runners in the league, he has lost a step (at least) and is simply no longer a downfield threat. Look for Jacksonville to draft some young talent at the position (perhaps a polished prospect early, and an atletic--but raw--project or two in the later rounds) that can stretch the field vertically and dissuade opponents from stacking the box against Maurice Jones-Drew. |
