New Jaguars executive V.P. of football operations Tom Coughlin is out to instill a winning attitude in Jacksonville and instilling as many former New York Giants and Patriots players as possible could be his angle.
Bennett did play under Coughlin while he was with the Giants for one year, so there is some familiarity between the two. Bennett may also look to become a No. 1 tight end option once again like he was in Chicago.
Jacksonville is looking for a tight end after trading away Julius Thomas. In Bennett, they would add a reliable tight end who could help Blake Bortles progress. The team has a ton of cap space and will have no problem showing Bennett the big bucks. Will he be blinded by the money or will the taste of winning lead him back to the Patriots or this next team?
