Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Though it’s unclear whether Del Rio reports to Smith, PFT's Mike Florio believes the declaration by Weaver is aimed at making it known to Del Rio and the rest of the world that the Jaguars are moving away from the tug-o-war structure that created division and disharmony when Harris was V.P. of player personnel and Del Rio was head coach. As it now stands, there’s no reason for Del Rio and Smith to squabble because Smith has “final say.”
