Kampman, Aaron (LB)
Kampman, a two-time Pro Bowl defensive end who signed a four-year contract worth $26 million with Jacksonville, expects to be on the field when training camp begins in July and give his new team a much-needed boost to its pathetic pass rush.
Kampman spent the last eight seasons in Green Bay and emerged as one of the NFL's elite pass rushers while recording 37 sacks between 2006 and 2008. His productivity dipped last season because he didn't make a smooth transition to Green Bay's 3-4 defensive scheme that called for him to play outside linebacker. ``I anticipate being ready to get after it,'' Kampman said Monday.

Kampman, Aaron (LB)
The Jaguars have signed Kampman as a step toward solving their pass-rushing problems.
The two-time Pro Bowl defensive end in eight seasons with Green Bay signed with the Jaguars on Sunday. He should boost a pass rush that ranked last in the NFL with a franchise-low 14 sacks. The sack total is the fifth-lowest in NFL history. The signing of the 30-year-old Kampman also sends a strong message to former first-round draft pick Derrick Harvey and second-rounder Quentin Groves, who both struggled in their two seasons.

Williamson, Troy (WR)
The Jacksonville Jaguars have re-signed Williamson, hoping he can fill the void left by Torry Holt's departure. Williamson, a former first-round draft pick by Minnesota, would have become a restricted free agent Friday. Contract terms were not released Tuesday.
Traded to the Jaguars in February 2008, Williamson earned a starting role last year before sustaining a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 2. He has 87 receptions for 1,131 yards and four touchdowns in his five-year career. Williamson will be given a chance to earn a starting spot opposite Mike Walker this season. Holt held the spot last season, but was released last month.
