http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-keelan-cole-jersey , the team’s leading tackler the past two seasons and a Pro Bowl selection in 2017, is stepping away from football to “give this time back to myself, my family & my health.”Smith made the announcement Thursday on Instagram, saying “at this time I must take time away from this game & get my world in order.”“I appreciate all the support I will & will not get,” he added. “I just ask that y’all respect my decision to not play football this season.”A fifth-round draft pick from Florida State in 2014, Smith has 445 tackles, nine interceptions, 7½ sacks and five forced fumbles in five seasons. He’s one of only 13 players in NFL history to make 100 or more tackles in each of their first five years in the league.He signed a four-year, $45 million extension with Jacksonville in October 2017 that included $20 million guaranteed.More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJaguars LB Telvin Smith wants everyone to “stop going crazy” about his decision to retireJaguars rookie LB Quincy Williams battling to fill spot with Telvin Smith stepping away from footballJaguars LB Telvin Smith stepping away from football to focus on family, healthJaguars take chance on Murray State LB Quincy Williams with 98th overall pickJaguars continue to retool backfield, draft Temple RB Ryquell Armstead in 5th roundSmith had been skipping voluntary workouts and hadn’t returned calls from team officials, raising speculation that he could be on the trading block or on his way out in Jacksonville.Personnel chief Tom Coughlin also took a not-so-subtle shot at Smith and cornerback Jalen Ramsey during the team’s state of the franchise presentation last month. Coughlin, the team’s executive vice president of football operations, said “championship teams are dominated by selfless individuals who recognize that the welfare of the team must always be paramount to any other consideration.”Ramsey and Smith were the team’s only players who didn’t show up for the start of the team’s offseason program.The Jaguars surely seemed to sense something was amiss regarding Smith. They signed former Green Bay starter Jake Ryan in free agency Womens Marcell Dareus Jersey , drafted Murray State’s Quincy Williams in the third round — earlier than anticipated — and added five more linebackers in recent weeks.“I know the rumors of trade talk came about, but I started my career in Jacksonville & the day I do decide to call it quits it will be right here in Duval,” Smith wrote.The Jaguars declined to comment on Smith’s statement, saying “we need to have a conversation with Telvin to understand the situation and the circumstances.”“If there is a way we can support him, we need to understand that,” the team added.

Socks because you’re goddamn right it didn’t.Marrone is a good looking man, there is no denying that, but how handsome is he when graded against his peers?Thanks to Adam Stites for providing the list of coaches and their placement in the photo:Top row (left to right): Jason Garrett Josh Lambo Jersey , Zac Taylor, Mike Vrabel, Freddie Kitchens, Frank Reich, Ron Rivera, Matt Patricia, Anthony Lynn, Kyle Shanahan, Matt Nagy, Doug Pederson, Pat ShurmurBottom row (left to right): Doug Marrone, John Harbaugh, BELICHICK!, Mike Zimmer http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-taven-bryan-jersey , Dan Quinn, Kliff Kingsbury, Sean McDermott, Andy Reid, Brian Flores, Bill O’Brien, Jon Gruden, Vic Fangio, Matt LaFleur, Jay Gruden2019 NFL coaches handsomeness power rankingMatt LaFleur: A naturally handsome man who doesn’t let that get in the way of putting some effort into this picture.Kliff Kingsbury: Great sock/shoe combination. Shirt fits well. Arizona is in good hands.Brian Flores: An incredibly handsome man who although he went with a less-than-spring color combination for his outfit still pulls it off.Mike Vrabel: Would.Doug Marrone: Great hair, strong thighs, comfortable footwear — the man knows comfort, but he doesn’t embarrass himself getting there. Helen would be proud.Frank Reich: Probably the most photogenic of the group. I’m looking at in-game pictures and press conferences and Reich looks great in this photo. Well groomed face and hair. He really put some effort into this.John Harbaugh: What’s with the drab and dreary color combination? Spring has sprung, my man. The shoes are nice though.Zac Taylor: A good looking guy Womens Justin Blackmon Jersey , but just too baby faced for my liking.Kyle Shanahan: Less naturally handsome than some and the beard needs some filling in.Bill Belichick: The pants are too lightly colored but the tan is a nice touch.

One of only two coaches to wear sunglasses in the picture is Zimmer and I hope he heard about it from his family.Bill O’Brien: Butt chin.Matt Patricia: Ugh.Jon Gruden: If this is his normal smile, I’m terrified. If it’s his hungover smile, well, it’s a good effort.Jay Gruden: He looks like he just escaped Frankenstein’s laboratory.
