The Facts: Lewis has been with the team since he was Jacksonville’s first-round draft pick in 2006. But he appears to be on the way out. Two different stories in the Florida Times-Union in the last couple days have floated the possibility of the Jaguars trading Lewis.
Diehards Line:
But as PFT's Michael David Smith suggests, the problem is, Lewis turns 31 next month and is coming off a season in which he caught just 18 passes, and is due a $6.65 million base salary this season. Would anyone want him? Maybe, if the Jaguars are willing to pay part of that $6.65 million. One story suggests that the Jaguars would be willing to pay part of that salary in order to facilitate a trade. Another story suggests that Jacksonville is seeking a late-round pick for Lewis. According to Smith, that would likely be about all the Jaguars could get.
