The remaking of the Jaguars’ receiving corps apparently continues. According to a league source, veteran wideout Dennis Northcutt is telling teammates that he has been given permission to shop his services via trade. If/when he goes, he’ll join Jerry Porter, Reggie Williams, and Matt Jones as wideouts who were on the team in 2008, and who won’t be in 2009. Northcutt is under contract through 2011. Per NFLPA records, he’ll earn a base salary of $2.45 million this year, $2.95 million in 2010, and $3.95 million in the final year of the deal. The Jaguars used three of their nine draft picks on wideouts: Mike Thomas in round four, Jarett Dillard in round five, and Tiquan Underwood in round seven. They also signed veteran Torry Holt, and Troy Williamson could finally be figuring out how to grasp a flying football with one or both of his hands, instead of letting it bounce off his helmet.
