Garrard Gets New Deal From Jaguars

Quarterback David Garrard has agreed to a contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to reports by several media outlets.

Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver had said last week that the deal was close to being completed.

Garrard had one season remaining on his previous contract. He's coming off a season in which he was the league's third-rated passer (behind only Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisberger) after taking over for the released Byron Leftwich as the Jaguars' starter. He threw 18 touchdown passes and only three interceptions during the regular season.

good deal? bad deal?

i think he looked pretty good in the playoffs and as a leader for a defensive minded, run-oriented football team he seems to be a good fit. i do think that's alot of money for a 30 year old quarterback with one year of starting experience, but then again look at Romo's deal. time will tell on this one, but he's no Jason Campbell
