Bouman, Woods Among Jaguars Cuts

The Jaguars will begin the 2008 season with only two quarterbacks on the roster.
Todd Bouman was one of 19 players let go by the Jaguars as Jack Del Rio cut his roster down to the league mandated 53-man squad.

Here’s why:

Matt Jones Has Inside Track on a Roster Spot

I did find it interesting that he was clean shaven and appeared to have gotten a hair cut. Clearly, he’s trying to put his best foot forward.
