- Insider predicts Montaric Brown landing spot and it's not with Jaguars
With Jacksonville Jaguars' cornerback Montaric Brown set to be a free agent, one NFL insider believes that he will head to another team.
ESPN's Dan Graziano predicted the landing spots for the top free agents. When it came to Brown , Garziano selected the Philadelphia Eagles -- not the Jaguars .

"A surprisingly buzzy name at last week's combine, the 26-year-old Brown should draw interest from multiple teams," Graziano wrote. "He should land a strong deal from a team looking for CB help but unwilling or unable to spend in the Riq Woolen / Jaylen Watson / Jamel Dean end of the market."
Last season, Brown showcased his ability to be a dependable starter at outside cornerback. He finished the year allowing a completion rate of just 54% on 68 targets and held opponents to just 10.4 yards per catch. He also came away with two interceptions and forced nine pass breakups.
Finding a way to re-sign Brown makes all the sense in the world for the Jaguars. However, they do face a tight salary cap situation, and as Graziano notes, Brown is going to draw his fair share of interest on the open market, creating competition for Jacksonville.
Graziano projects that Brown lands a three-year deal in free agency worth $30 million, including $15 million guaranteed.
