Vikings4ever 533 Posted May 8, 2015 Video: https://twitter.com/cweeks85/status/596744674318098432 Says he was walking around then carted off, but could be nothing, could be a torn ACL. EDIT: Torn ACL confirmed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTD 56 Posted May 8, 2015 Didn't look good on how his knee buckled. Tough break for the Fowler & the Jags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTD 56 Posted May 8, 2015 NFL Network reporting Fowler will miss the season with a torn ACL. Bummer for Gus Bradley's defense, &hopefully the kid gets healed up for 2016. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted May 8, 2015 REally bad for the jags. Great for the kid tho who can cash his check and party without even having to go out and get hit every day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R8RMick 242 Posted May 9, 2015 Was he signed Seriously doubt he was in rookie camp without a contract. Yikes. Shades of Ki-Jana Carter. That's got to suck for Jax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike FF Today 671 Posted May 9, 2015 Was he signed No, but... Brutal. A difficult way to begin your NFL career and a difficult day for the entire Jaguars organization. Fowler didn't sign his rookie deal yet, but he did sign a waiver which guarantees the Jaguars will negotiate in good faith as if the injury did not occur. Chris Clemons, Andre Branch and Chris Smith are candidates to fill Fowler's edge-rushing spot. It's common for rookies to sign injury waivers in case something like this happens. Fowler should get around $21 million based on draft slot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fowler should get around $21 million based on draft slot. I hope they do follow through. How does this 'negotiate in good faith' work and do agents/players sign such a deal with Bill Belichick? I'm sure the NFLPA would have been sticklers to make sure that means what it sounds like it means. And how about the Denver TE in the same boat, is he under contract or is he on a similar deal?
