Jaguars Plan To Use No-Huddle Offense More In 2016

Jun 6, 2016 8:02 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to put Blake Bortles and the offense in the no-huddle more often this coming season.

"When we evaluated the end of the season, we thought one of the things Blake was pretty comfortable with was our two-minute package so we've incorporated (more) of that," coordinator Greg Olson said.

Bortles, who is entering his third year, attempted fewer than 40 passes without a huddle in 2015, but threw two touchdowns without an interception.

"He's getting better," Olson added of Bortles. "(We're) excited right now where he's at mentally and where he's at physically. It's been a good five days of OTAs for Blake. He'd be the first guy to say he's not there yet, but he's certainly miles ahead of where he was at this time last year, which is to be expected."

Jaguars Sign Allen Hurns To Four-Year, $40M Extension

Jun 3, 2016 2:54 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Allen Hurns to a four-year, $40 million contract extension.

The contract includes $20 million in guaranteed money for the third-year wide receiver.

"That's the thing about the NFL and I love it: No matter what you did last year they want to see what you can continue to do," Hurns said. "If you have a great year and come out and not play well, they'll forget what you did the year before. That keeps me on the edge."

The deal could be worth up to $11 million per year, including escalators, according to a source.

Hurns was due to make $600,000 in 2016, which was the final year of the three-year deal he signed as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
