The Facts: Via Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, the Jaguars are picking up the option on Lewis' contract, meaning he’ll spend his 13th season with the team.
Diehards Line:
The 33-year-old Lewis caught 24 passes for 318 yards and five touchdowns last season, and is years removed from being a major threat in the passing game. But he’s still a reliable blocker, and a valuable part of the team’s history. The 2006 first-rounder hasn’t caught 50 passes in a season since 2012, but they obviously felt like he was worth the $3.5 million he’s due this year, after they made the playoffs for the first time since 2007.
