The Facts:
Manhertz reached agreement on a two-year, $7.25 million deal, including $4.25 million guaranteed, with the Jacksonville Jaguars, per his agent Sean Stellato.
Diehards Line:Earlier this year, Panthers HC Matt Rhule called Manhertz the best blocking tight end in the NFL and it's hard to argue that he was wrong. Manhertz started 12 of the Panthers' 16 games this past season and ultimately won the job because of his ability to block. As SI.com notes, he's not the elite receiving tight end like everyone would like to have but he does the dirty work and most of all, he's reliable. Heading into his eighth year in the league, it's hard to imagine that he will become any better as a receiver.
