Jags agree to terms with Porter, Lemon, complete Williamson trade
Williamson will need to start hanging onto the ball, though. He had 79 receptions for 1,067 yards and three touchdowns in three disappointing, drop-filled seasons.
Williamson has two years remaining on his contract. He's scheduled to make $910,000 in 2008 and $1.4 million in 2009.
"We're giving Troy a chance, an opportunity for him to come down here and rejuvenate himself, have fun, don't worry about the high expectations that were associated with his selection and his place there," Del Rio said.
Lemon started seven games last season in Miami, but wasn't part of the team's future under new football operations head Bill Parcells.
He will serve as David Garrard's backup in Jacksonville.
Although the Jaguars started making moves on the offensive side of the ball, they also plan to address defensive holes.
The team let defensive end Bobby McCray, safety Sammy Knight and cornerback Terry Cousin leave via free agency. Stroud could be gone, too.
Stroud missed eight games the past two seasons because of a nagging ankle injury. He also was suspended four games last year for violating the league's steroid and related substances policy. Del Rio has said the former first-round draft pick probably won't return to full speed.
"Obviously, this is a production-based business," Del Rio said. "Right now, he's a Jaguar. His agent has permission to look for an opportunity, but there's not a fire sale."
There might be a signing frenzy, though. Del Rio said the team was looking to make more deals -- just not at receiver, where Jacksonville has drafted four players the past four years, signed two free agents and traded for Williamson.
"We feel like we've adequately addressed that position from a standpoint of adding one proven guy and adding one guy that's got a lot of promise and potential," Del Rio said.
