How much did the Chicago Bears love defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy?The Jacksonville Jaguars just signed restricted free agent Kennedy to a one-year, $750,000 offer sheet. The Bears had seven days to match that offer. They didn't bother. It's cold in Chicago, man.
It's easy to see why the Jags would take a shot at Kennedy. Despite his starcrossed pro career, he was once an All-American at Penn State and a first-round pick and for the St. Louis Rams, and he might fill what's suddenly a position of need for Jacksonville. Marcus Stroud was traded over the weekend, and the team has opted not to re-sign Grady Jackson. Kennedy might not start, but he might be able to step into the lineup in a pinch.
Given what's left on the free agent market, the Jags may opt to fill in the remaining holes in its defensive line in the draft. They've already addressed the receiver position with Jerry Porter and the secondary with Drayton Florence. I'd look for this team to chase after a pass rusher in the first round.

It seems that you've forgot "kennedy's last name or he's very well known by his first. I personally desired to e-mail "kennedy. You can consider me a total stranger but I'm a 35 year old woman of God who seems to have a heart for the sport 'football.
You can take this for what it's truly worth "kennedy is going to be one the best players that you've ever had if you have a relationship with the higher power Jesus Christ than this message what be "shocking" to you. When his feet hit the ground and he's released what he has been equipment and built for will be written in the jacksonville times more times than you will give him credit for.
Thanks Inadvance,

P.S. I don't know Mr. Kennedy by no means I'm only sharing what I see through the right spirit.
