Jacksonville: So, Louis Rees-Zammit just got a contract offer from the Jaguars right after becoming a free agent. Pretty exciting stuff, right? Reports say the Jags are eager to have him join their training camp this summer.
He’s been weighing his options since his last deal wrapped up. The 23-year-old is free to chat with other NFL teams, so he’s checking out what’s out there. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for him since he’s been on the practice squad for the Jags.
Even though he didn’t get to play in any games last season, he’s still got his eyes on making it big in the NFL. The Daily Mail mentioned that a solid offer is on the table now, which is great news for him.
Interestingly, the Jaguars have already locked in several practice squad players with futures contracts. This means they can’t sign with other teams and will get a shot at the main roster. But Louis hasn’t signed anything yet because he’s still figuring out his best move.
On top of that, the Jags are looking for a new head coach after letting go of Doug Pedersen. This could change things for Louis, as a new coach might see his potential or decide he’s not the right fit.
Louis made the jump from rugby to NFL just over a year ago. He initially signed with the Kansas City Chiefs but ended up on the Jags’ practice squad after being cut. It’s been a learning year for him, getting used to a new sport and all the different plays.
Right now, he’s taking a break in Thailand with his brother, enjoying some downtime after a hectic season. The new NFL season kicks off in September, and he’s hoping to land a spot on the practice squad or the main roster by the end of August.
