Shad Khan bought the Jaguars just five months ago, but he’s already made one thing clear about his ownership style. He’s willing to spend over the salary cap — and to make improvements at EverBank Field that don’t count against the cap — to turn the Jaguars into a winner. Khan predicted at the Super Bowl that the team would spend $130 million this year on player salaries and said last Friday during the draft that the team has already exceeded that figure. “We’ve spent a lot more than $130 [million] already in cash,†Khan said. “Much more than that. A little bit under $140 million.†He said the team rolled more than $30 million in unspent money from last year and have spent about half of that plus the $120 million in this year’s cap. Khan is also putting about $10 million into locker room and weight room improvements at the stadium and said money will not be a factor in the discussion of whether to build a practice bubble.

Nice to see an owner care enought to invest in his team and not expect the nfl or fans to foot the bill
