NFL Rumors: Jacksonville Jaguars discussing contract with Alex Mack
By Josh Hill
Before free agency even started back in early March, there were rumblings that the Jacksonville Jaguars would be looking into possibly signing Cleveland Browns center once he hit the market. The Browns slapped him with a transition tag though, but have yet to secure a deal with him.
As a result, almost a month after free agency began, the Jaguars are back in the mix for Mack and have already met with him and are discussing a contract.

Given the great offseason the Jaguars have had so far, adding Mack would likely be the crown jewel of any move they could have hoped to make. Mack would anchor an offensive line with will likely be breaking in a new quarterback at some point this season and one that will be blocking for a revamped running attack.
It’s been a huge offseason so far for the Jaguars and finally adding Mack could be a scale tipping move.
