Finishing last season with a franchise-low 14 sacks, the Jacksonville Jaguars are determined to revamp the defensive line that did not work well even with different schemes, various blitzes and some new faces, so their first action to improve it is to get more quarterback pressure by adding a great defensive end.
That’s the background for the Jaguars to sign two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Aaron Kampman, who has finished all the last eight seasons in Green Bay Packers jerseys. The 30-year-old defensive end signed with the Jaguars on Sunday, giving the small-market franchise a big-time boost to their pass-rush woes.
The Jaguars targeted Kampman and former Tennessee Titans DE Kyle Vanden Bosch even before the free agency began on Friday. While Bosch has signed a four-year contract worth $26 million with the Detroit Lions, the Jaguars made their choice without hesitation to sign Kampman, who is a year younger than Vanden Bosch but finished 2009 season with half a sack more than Vanden Bosch.
