Jacksonville Florida Fans Are Keeping an Eye on Team News
Friday, February 29th, 2008When you live in Jacksonville and are a football fan, whether or not you love your home team or you have loyalties elsewhere, chances are good that your ears perk up a little when team news starts getting around - especially if you’ve been going through withdrawals over the past few weeks since the season ended.
Take the recent news for example:
The Jaguars have given three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud permission to seek a trade, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, who discussed the situation Thursday on ESPN’s First Take.
Also, the Jaguars are in discussions with the Detroit Lions to acquire defensive tackle Shaun Rogers, according to a league source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because such moves can’t officially be transacted until today — the start of the NFL’s new year. Detroit reportedly is seeking a second- or third-round pick as compensation for Rogers.
If Stroud leaves, that means that Jacksonville fans are going to have to get used to a new player. If Shaun Rogers comes to the team, well. . .
In other words, when you live in Jacksonville you’re going to find that while the news is hot, your neighbors are going to be talking about it.
When you live at The Chelsea Lofts in Jacksonville, you’ll find that walking to some of your favorite places to be is simple: just head out to the Cummer Museum or take a quick walk to grab a bite to eat or talk with some friends.
