The Jacksonville Jaguars were probably the busiest team on the opening day of the tampering period, but it was a day mostly filled with adding new faces to the team instead of re-signing some of their pending free agents. However, after how the last two seasons have gone, fans seem to be more than fine with the new approach.
But when it comes to the Jags’ group of pending free agents, DJ Chark Jr. was the one the fanbase wanted back the most due to his deep speed ability. Unfortunately, that won’t be happening, though, as the former second-round selection has found a new team in the Detroit Lions.
The deal was one that ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported early Tuesday morning. As some expected, it was a prove-it deal, and the terms are to join Detroit on a one-year deal for $10 million (all fully guaranteed), which isn’t a bad bump in pay at all for Chark.
