Jaquars "real close" to signing Ravens FS Dawan Landry

[coltsuser21]

Landry is very close to a deal with the Jaguars, a league source told NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. The deal could be completed Friday.

The five-year veteran has started 32 games over the past two seasons with the Ravens, and 64 overall since Baltimore drafted in 2006. He had 86 total tackles last season, with one sack.

This is more bad news for these good players to keep joining our division

some good news is they lost Mike Sims-Walker | WR he was a good target and im glad one less reciever to worry about

They are the only other team that really seems to be improving. There new GM seems to be helping. Still be a year before they are really going to do much though.

Bad news for us. I was really hoping he would join the Colts, but it looks like he is going to the Jags.

& got offensive guard/center Jason Spitz . . .

General Manager Gene Smith on

JASON SPITZ

Projection: Likely will compete at guard and/or center.

Quick look: Spitz (6-3, 305), who played collegiately at Louisville, is a Jacksonville native who played at The Bolles School and was originally selected by Green Bay in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He spent five seasons with the Packers, starting 45 of 65 games, with 37 starts at guard and eight at center.

Smith on Spitz: “He has a lot of starts in the NFL. He can play center as well as guard. He’s a guy who’s a good fit here, he has played all three spots inside, he has the right makeup and was a teammate ofAaron Kampman’s (in Green Bay). We did a lot of work on him coming out of Louisville and he just happens to be from Jacksonville, so again, it’s a fit. It’s not just a fit for him. It’s a fit for us. When you get a chance to match up with players in pro free agency, you want it to become a marriage.”

PAUL POSLUSZNY

Projection: Likely will start at middle linebacker.

Quick look: A fifth-year veteran, Posluszny (6-feet-1, 238 pounds) originally was selected in the second round of the 2007 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills, with whom he played his first four seasons. Posluszny, who played collegiately at Penn State, started 44 of 44 games for the Bills, registering 100 or more tackles each of the last three seasons. He has four career interceptions, three sacks, 14 passes defenses and four forced fumbles with a fumble recovery. He also led the Bills in tackles each of the last two seasons.

Says Smith: “If you did him coming out of college, he was a very productive Mike ‘backer in a 4-3 scheme. Obviously, they (the Bills) became a 3-4 team. I personally think his fit and where he feels more comfortable is as a middle linebacker in a 4-3. I think this was attractive for him for a number of reasons. We had done a lot of work on him coming out, so he knew our staff: Mark Duffner and Jack Del Rio. He had trained with Luke Richesson, so that was natural. We did interview him when he came out, but I think he saw (now) an opportunity to get with a team that is stable at the top, from an ownership standpoint and certainly a chance where he feels it’s an ascending football team where he’ll ultimately have a chance to win a Super Bowl. I think he feels there’s a definite commitment being made that way. We fit what he wants, the type of environment he wants to be in. We have a group of defensive tackles who can enable him to in essence play clean and line up over the ball and be involved in the majority of plays. Mike linebacker should be our leading tackler. I think this just looked like a mutual fit for him in a lot of ways.”
