Numbers on new Jaguars DE Jihad Ward. Signed a two-year deal worth $5 million, but all of the $2.45 million guaranteed is paid out in 2021. Urban Meyer said DC Joe Cullen really wanted to sign Ward: " I don’t know if I’ve ever had a coach pound the table as hard for a guy."

That's the move tight end, mentioned they did bring back James O.

Meyer also stated he did not know Josh Oliver, it was a personnel (department) decision, but he did sign off on the trade.

What did Urban Meyer like about Malcom Brown?

"Everything. I like the fact that we know him. Charlie Strong recruited him ... when you see his size, 320, his bend, his athleticism, he's been well-coached already in NO."

Meyer says Malcom Brown is already one of his favorites.

#Jaguars HC Urban Meyer asked if the team is fielding offers for QB Gardner Minshew II:

"At this point, no."

Curtis Samuel seems to be the obvious other player the team targeted in free agency, didn't land.

"DJ Chark and Laviska are two young guys that I think you can build ... that position is going to be a huge part of our offense."

Meyer says they'll be key pieces to their room, while Marvin Jones is great value. He said colleagues and friends have blown up his phone about Jones

Meyer says Rayshawn Jenkins checks all the boxes. Says they were “ecstatic” to get him.

Meyer feels strongly about Griffin, Henderson, and Sidney Jones at CB. Mentions Tre Herndon as well. “If you’re third player can play man coverage, that’s exactly where you need to be.”

Meyer on Jihad Ward: I did very little homework on him because of how Joe Cullen felt about him. Says he doesn’t know if he’s ever had a coach pound the table so hard for a guy.

Urban on defensive free agent signings: number one need was defensive front, expects it to be in the top eight in the NFL after the additions. Says he loves everything about Malcom Brown, talked about his character and connection with Charlie Strong.

Meyer says Dorsett signing is all about speed. Says he’s blessed with incredible physical qualities and catches the ball well. Says they aren’t done at the position.
