The Jacksonville Jaguars released two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle John Henderson on Monday, opening up a starting spot for first-round draft pick Tyson Alualu. The team also released defensive tackle Montavious Stanley and linebackers Brian Iwuw and Tank Daniels, and withdrew its qualifying offer to linebacker Clint Ingram. The moves continue an overhaul of a defensive front that finished with a franchise-low 14 sacks in 2009. Source: Associated Press
He'll be in KC on Wednesday and unless his money demands are out of control I doubt he leaves town without a contract.
Yes, this will be interesting. He's massive but he's never played nose tackle in the 3-4 defense. He played end in the 3-4 for the Jaguars last year. Not sure if we'll try to get him to play NT or slide Dorsey over to NT.
I would love to have this man anchoring our defensive line. The Giants have "kicked the tires" about Henderson and had interest in acquiring him before the weekend. Tom Coughlin drafted him back in 2002 and it appears were not done working on our defensive line. Henderson's agent confirmed New York is in play and if he leaves K.C. without a contract, he may not be unemployed much longer. :icon_cool: YouTube - John Henderson
Well as soon as we drafted Alulu I knew he'd be on his way. It's obvious that our future lies with Knighton and Alulu, I'm just a bit disappointed that we couldn't trade him away over the draft weekend. He is not the explosive monster that he was a few years ago along with Marcus Stroud but he's still a great DT. I can't see him being a FA for long at all.
