I am honored to have recently signed an agreement with Wayne Weaver and his partners to purchase the Jacksonville Jaguars ... I have known Wayne for some time and have long admired his spirit, which nearly 20 years ago - against all odds - helped make the Jaguars and the National Football League a reali...
I think Mel has been one of the bright spots of our football team this year, taking charge of the defense and calling the defensive plays
It's hard to write something to say you are going to force somebody to keep something here ... You have to trust individuals' integrity. I've no doubt Shahid will do what he says he's going to do. I had to be comfortable that his plans are to keep the team in Jacksonville. There's not a doubt in my mind...
I told him I wouldn't sign the deal until commissioner Goodell approved it ... This was not about money. This was about continuing the legacy that we have started.
You know that’s my dream to see this team be successful in Jacksonville, and I found an owner that has that commitment, has that passion
We have a GM in place that’s going to continue to do the good work that they’ve done over the last few years, and continue to build our roster, and it gives us the kind of stability that I think we need in the football operations

not about money, but finding the right partner to continue the legacy we've started here.
It's pretty hard to put something in writing saying you have to do something, but you have to trust individuals' integrity and I have no doubt that Shahid is going to do what he plans to do

He's going to buy a home here in Jacksonville. He's going to spend time here in Jacksonville ... He's going to keep the Jaguars management group intact. He's keeping the Jaguars staff intact.
