The Jacksonville Jaguars are committed to keeping place-kicker Josh Scobee. They placed the franchise tag on him Monday, a move that will keep the strong-legged veteran under contract for at least another season.|||||||
General manager Gene Smith said the team wants to reach a long-term deal with Scobee. Both sides began preliminary talks last month, but they failed to reach an agreement before the franchise deadline Monday. "It is our goal to reach a long-term deal with him," Smith said in a statement. "Josh was drafted by the Jaguars and is someone that I have great respect for as a player and as a person."
Scobee is one of five full-time, NFL place-kickers who haven't missed this season. Scobee is 14 for 14 on field goals, including nine from beyond 40 yards, heading into Sunday's game at Houston.|||||||
