The Jaguars are still interested in Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen. Kansas City is open to trading Thigpen, according to NFL.com's Jason La Canfora. Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli is asking for a third round pick for Thigpen, which is believed to be an awful lot for a quarterback of his caliber. Jacksonville's best offer for Thigpen has included a fifth-rounder.

The Jaguars have offered a fifth-round pick to Kansas City for quarterback Tyler Thigpen, but the Chiefs want a higher pick. Jaguars general manager Gene Smith did not return an e-mail requesting a comment on the report. The Jaguars might be trying to replace veteran backup Todd Bouman, who had several passes batted down against Tampa Bay on Saturday night.

The Jaguars have re-signed Ernest Wilford and are giving him a chance to make the team as a tight end. In a related move, Jacksonville waived defensive tackle Jonathan Lewis.

Byron Leftwich will face the Jaguars as a quarterback for the Buccaneers on Saturday. "I've had time to heal. We had some great times there. That's why I never say anything bad about Jacksonville or the city or anything because I enjoyed my time there. It just didn't work out. We both move on, and we've both had success afterward, so there's no hard feelings," Leftwich told the Tampa Tribune. He isn't bitter over losing his starting job ahead of the 2007 season. "Right now, as I get older [29] and more mature, I understand in this league sometimes that happens. And when it happens, you've got to understand that it is a business. They've have had success, and I've had success, also. Now I'm a Buccaneer, and I'm happy to be a Buccaneer."

The Jaguars have agreed to terms on a five-year deal with first-round pick Eugene Monroe. Monroe, the eighth overall pick in this spring's NFL Draft, is believed to have gotten slightly more than B.J. Raji got in his deal with the Packers. Raji agreed to $28.5 million over five years with $18 million guaranteed.

The Jaguars are still working on a deal with first-round pick Eugene Monroe. Monroe, a left tackle from Virginia, was the team's only no-show when camp started on Sunday evening. As of Sunday, a contract agreement didn't appear imminent between Jacksonville and the rookie. "It's going to get handled," quarterback David Garrard said. "It'll happen. He's not going to hold out for very long, hopefully. I know he wants to play this year, and the longer guys hold out, the less likely it is for you to get out on the field."
