Looks like the folks of Jacksonville can let out a sigh of releif…The Jaguars have recently just enough tickets to lift the NFL’s television blackout. So fans will get to see them take on division rival Tennessee Titans.
In total the Jaguars have 1,400 non-premium tickets left for Sunday’s game. Senior Vice President in charge of slaes and marketing, Macky Weaver, says the Jaguars sold roughly 2,500 tickets in the past 24 hours.
Good news for the USO, 1,400 extra tickets were bought and will be given to them so that they can have a strong military presence for the NFL’s 9/11 tribute.
Last season the Jags were able to show all of their home games versus in 2009 when they blacked out a total of seven games.

Its official, Mike Sims-Walker will become an unrestricted free agent when a new collective bargaining agreement is in place, As the Jacksonville Jaguars have chose not to tender an offer to the wide receiver who recently completed his fourth season with the team.
“Its official,” Sims-Walker tweeted. “I personally wanna thank all the fans who stuck with me in jacksonville for the last 4 years but sorry to say my time is up!!”

In the 2007 Draft Sims-Walker was drafted in the third-round by the Jaguars, as a rookie he missed all of his first season with a knee injury and then the next season preceded to sit out seven more games with injuries in 2008. In 2009 Sims-Walker came on and showed the Jaguars what he was capable of by bringing in seven touchdown passes all while leading the team in catches (63) and receiving yards (869).

The Jaguars claimed recently waived Bills QB Trent Edwards on Tuesday . They confirmed that linebacker Alvin Bowen was waived to room on the roster for Edwards.
Right now the Jaguars are at (1-2) and have been unhappy with inconsistent play from David Garrard in their past two games. Garrard recent stats: He completed 28 of 53 passes and has thrown five interceptions and been sacked eight times in the losses.
The Jaguars seemed ready to make the move to backup Luke McCown however he had a season-ending knee injury in Week 2. They recently signed savvy vet Todd Bouman and Keith Nuill in the past week.
Trent Edwards was selected by the Bills in the third round of the 2007 draft. He spent 4 years in Buffalo and went 14-18 as a starter. Edwards was benched the day after going 11-of-18 passing for 102 yards with two interceptions in a 34-7 loss at Green Bay on Sept.19. He showed little improvement one week after going 18-of-34 passing for 139 yards and one touchdown in a 15-10 loss to the Dolphins.
If you look at the good side Edwards has a second opportunity with the Jaguars, who happen to be playing the Bills on October 10th. You gotta love reunions!
