At his pre-draft presser Monday, Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell ruled out the possibility of an extension with LT Eugene Monroe until after the 2013 season.
They also aren't going to extend Maurice Jones-Drew, who like Monroe is in a contract year. The Jaguars have been ultra-conservative and patient through Caldwell's first half-offseason, only lightly tapping into the free-agent market and refusing to make any bold moves that cost big money. They'll be able to roll over a top of cap space into 2014. If Monroe excels in rookie OC Jedd Fisch's 2013 offense, he'll likely be tagged or extended early next offseason. Apr 22 - 4:04 PM

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Entering the final year of his rookie deal, Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe hasn't had any conversations with the team about an extension, and doesn't expect any during the season.

It's puzzling, as the soon-to-be 26-year-old is one of the Jags' best players. The No. 8 pick of the 2009 draft, Monroe graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 9 left tackle last season. The lack of talks may indicate the Jags plan to spend the No. 2 pick on a tackle, but teams rarely let players like Monroe walk. He'd be a candidate for the 2014 franchise tag if a new deal isn't reached.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe was an excused absence for the beginning of the club's offseason program Tuesday.

While there is no indication Monroe is dissatisfied with his contract, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2009 draft is entering the final year of his rookie deal. Arguably the most talented player on the roster, we expect the team to explore an extension sooner rather than later.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe triggered an escalator in his rookie deal, raising his 2013 salary from $3.55 million to $3.8 million.

Monroe has started 58 of a possible 64 games since being the No. 8 overall pick in the 2009 draft. He's arguably Jacksonville's best player, excelling both as a pass and run blocker. Entering the final year of his contract, Monroe is a prime candidate for extension this offseason.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe (concussion) returned to practice Saturday.

Blaine Gabbert's blindside protector missed each of the Jaguars' past two preseason games. With no end in sight to Maurice Jones-Drew's holdout, Monroe's health will be a must if Gabbert is to have any hope of making meaningful early-season strides.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe still hasn't passed his concussion tests.

Monroe has now missed virtually the entire preseason. The Jags compensated by kicking RT Cameron Bradfield to the left side and inserting Guy Whimper on the right. It's a concern for both the running game and Blaine Gabbert as Monroe has established himself as a top-10 offensive tackle in the league.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe will miss his second straight preseason game with a concussion Thursday night at Baltimore.

There are no further details available. Monroe sat out last week against the Saints, and Cameron Bradfield held down Blaine Gabbert's blindside effectively. Bradfield will again get the left tackle nod with Guy Whimper on the right.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe insists ''there's no weight issue'' after playing last season at 290 pounds.

"For me, there’s no weight issue," Monroe said. "The way it was handled last year, I didn’t really like it. I’m going to do what I need to do from a physical standpoint to be at my best on the field. I’m big enough to perform at a high level.'' Pro Football Focus ranked Monroe as the league's seventh-best tackle last season, and particularly high in run blocking. His presence could play an important role in the development of Blaine Gabbert.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe (ankle) expects to play in Week 17 against the Colts.

Monroe is listed as questionable after missing practice Friday because of a mid-week ankle injury. If he is unable to play, Cameron Bradfield will move over from his natural right tackle position to replace him. The former eighth overall pick, Monroe has graded out as the 12th best left tackle this season by Pro Football Focus.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe was forced from Sunday's loss to the Bengals with a shoulder injury.

It was an aggravation of an injury he originally suffered in Week 4, so the Jaguars' blindside protector could be staring at some lost time. The Jags travel to Pittsburgh in Week 6, and do not go on bye until Week 9. In Monroe's absence Sunday, Guy Whimper shifted from right to left tackle. The last thing rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert needs is uncertainty along his offensive line.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars GM Gene Smith believes that LT Eugene Monroe is ready to emerge as a Pro Bowl player entering his third season.

"Eugene Monroe is at that stage," Smith said. "... Height, weight, speed, arm length, intelligence, foot quickness, athletic ability – he has it all." Monroe does have all the attributes teams covet in a franchise left tackle, but to this point he's been underwhelming. In 2010, Pro Football Focus ranked him just 61st among offensive tackles in terms of pass pro. He also sagged as a run blocker, and no player at the position gave up more QB hits.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe (concussion) is expected to return to practice Wednesday after finally passing his baseline test.

The coaching staff got a surprise late last week when Monroe couldn't gain clearance. Journeyman Guy Whimper held up better than expected on David Garrard's blindside against the Giants.

Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio admitted to being "shocked" that LT Eugene Monroe (concussion) was unable to play in Week 12.

Del Rio was expecting Monroe to be fine, but the tackle failed a baseline test Friday and was ruled out. The coach said Monday that he had no new information on whether Monroe would be available for Week 13. The Jaguars offensive line held up surprisingly well against the Giants, but getting Monroe back would be big.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe (concussion) has been formally ruled out for Week 12.

David Garrard's fantasy matchup -- already difficult -- takes a big hit. The Jaguars are expected to start rookie free agent Kevin Haslam on the blind side, and he'll square off with Osi Umenyiora. With Mike Sims-Walker (ankle) hobbled, expect plenty of dump-offs to slot receiver Mike Thomas, running back Maurice Jones-Drew, and tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Eugene Monroe - T - Jaguars

Jaguars LT Eugene Monroe failed his baseline concussion test Friday morning.

Though Monroe has missed practice all week, the Jags had been expecting to play versus the Giants. The coaching staff isn't ready to rule him out, so Monroe will take the test again on Saturday. Rookie Kevin Haslam and former Giant Guy Whimper are candidates to replace Monroe.
