Tra Thomas Signs in Jacksonville


The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed veteran tackle Tra' Thomas to help improve their struggling offensive line. The terms of the contract were not immediately available but Thomas made $5.45 Million in base salary last season, so it is expected that he will make close or more than that figure.

The 12 year veteran turned down a contract offer from the Eagles in order to enter free agency. He is expected to replace Khalif Barnes as the teams left tackle. Barnes is a free agent and is searching for a new team.

Thomas, 34, is considered an upgrade over Barnes at left tackle. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Thomas has started in 166 games in 11 seasons for Philadelphia after the Eagles took him with the No. 11 overall pick in the draft.
