at the asking price on all three starters has dropp
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - SenDerrick Marks slipped by Andy Levitre, grabbed Charlie Whitehurst around the legs and dragged him to the ground.It was the most rewarding sack of Marks six-year career — literally.Forget that it came against his former team. Forget that it came on the final play of the game. Forget that it helped Jacksonville beat the Tennessee Titans 21-13 on Thursday night.It was the ultimate money move. Marks earned a $600,000 bonus for the takedown, which triggered a provision in his contract that rewards him for recording at least eight sacks this season. He now has 8 1/2.It also was arguably the most compelling aspect of a relatively meaningless game between two of the AFCs worst teams.Whoever wants to come out, were just going to go out and enjoy the night, Marks said, inviting anyone and everyone to join whats sure to be a late-night party in Jacksonville.The Jaguars (3-12) won for the second time in four weeks and avoided getting swept by AFC South rival Tennessee (2-13) for the second time in 11 years. The Titans lost their ninth consecutive game.Although Jacksonville probably erased any chance of landing the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, players and coaches didnt care. They held a raucous locker room celebration that included coach Gus Bradley praising rookie quarterback Blake Bortles (a touchdown pass and 50 yards rushing on a sprained right foot), backup running back Jordan Todman (a 62-yard TD run in the fourth quarter), rookie linebacker Telvin Smith (15 tackles) and, of course, Marks.SenDerrick Marks just became a little richer, Bradley said, drawing wild cheers.Marks had some fun celebrating his big payday, too.He rubbed his fingers together after the sack, mimicking the move Cleveland Browns Johnny Manziel made famous in college, and pointed to the press box in hopes of getting general manager Dave Caldwells attention. Caldwell told Marks in recent weeks that he would gladly write the hefty check if Marks notched his eighth sack.Marks also ended up at the bottom of a wild pile of teammates near midfield.It was pretty awesome, Marks said. Just the excitement of all the guys. Everybodys excited about somebody else accomplishing something. It just shows the character of our team and the guys that we have. Nobody gets that check but me, but everybodys excited for me. Its just the commitment we all have to one another and the character of each guy in here.There may have been one other reason teammates were so happy.Oh, were going to spend some of that money, Jaguars defensive end Red Bryant said.Aside from Marks bonus, here are some things to know about Thursday nights game:ANOTHER FADE: The Titans blew another second-half lead. Four days after surrendering a late lead to the New York Jets, the Titans did it again in Jacksonville. They led 10-0 early and had a 179-16 advantage in yards. But they couldnt hold on. It was more about mistakes that we made than anything else because when we did it right — as you can see by most of the first half — we played pretty good, Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said.BORTLES BEST: Bortles completed 13 of 26 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. His completions and yards were both season-lows. But he came up big on the ground, scrambling for first downs on two touchdown drives and showing that his injured foot was a non-factor. I really didnt know how it was going to react, but it felt good, he said.ON-FIELD VIEW: Titans defensive co-ordinator Ray Horton called plays from the sideline instead of the press box, the first time hes done that all season. It worked early. Just a change-up, Whisenhunt said. No reason. There was no logic behind it.SACK RECORD: Jacksonville gave up four sacks, giving the team 66 on the season and breaking the franchise record of 63 set in 2001. The Jaguars, who have two rookies, a second-year pro and a veteran journeyman starting on the offensive line, have allowed at least four sacks in six consecutive games.PREGAME STATEMENT: Several Jaguars players, including receiver Cecil Shorts III and defensive end Ryan Davis, wore I Cant Breathe T-shirts during warmups. The black shirts with white print were worn over long-sleeved warm-up gear on a cool night in Jacksonville. The slogan refers to Eric Garner, who died after a New York police officer placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for selling loose cigarettes. A grand jury decided not to indict the officer. A video of the arrest showed Garner gasping, I cant breathe. Other NFL players and athletes have worn the shirts in recent weeks.

Ken Daneyko Jersey .J. -- Kevin Gilbride retired Thursday as offensive co-ordinator for the New York Giants.Business in the Major League Baseball pitching market is about to pick up and the Toronto Blue Jays could be poised to be in the middle of the action. Masahiro Tanaka has touched down in the United States and the courting of the Rakuten Golden Eagles stud pitcher has begun in earnest by a bevy of MLB teams interested in the Japanese ace. The posting fee for Tanaka to be paid to Rakuten is $20 million and the pitcher himself is expected to garner a deal in the six-year, $100 million range. Early speculation has the Arizona Diamondbacks as the key suitor for Tanakas services, but the usual suspects like the New York Yankees and teams looking to rebuild like the Chicago Cubs are also said to be heavily interested. The Jays, who went hard after, but ultimately lost out on Yu Darvish to the Texas Rangers in 2012, are believed to be interested in Tanaka, but arent considered a serious contender for the 24-year-old who went 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last season in the Japanese League. Still, Tanakas impending arrival is of great interest to Alex Anthopoulos and the rest of the Blue Jays management. Once Tanaka signs, the floodgates are expected to open on the MLB pitching market from both a free agency and trade perspective. Tanaka will be the first domino to drop on what could be a very busy next few weeks in the baseball offseason and the Jays are expected to, and need to, be active. With options expanding, who should the Jays target to shore up their rotation heading into 2014? If the Jays were to stand pat going into spring training, their rotation would likely be made up of R.A. Dickey, Brandon Morrow, Mark Buehrle, J.A. Happ and a fifth man from a pool of candidates including Marcus Stroman, Todd Redmond, Kyle Drabek and Drew Hutchison. While by no means a poor rotation, the need to bolster it is obvious if they want to compete for a playoff spot. The free agent avenue presents a few intriguing options. Ubaldo Jimenez is coming off a fine 2013 with the Cleveland Indians, posting a 13-9 record with 182.2 IP, a 3.30 ERA and a WHIP of 1.33. Jimenez, soon to turn 30, is no longer the power pitcher he was with the Colorado Rockies, but has compensated for his loss of velocity by relying on his slider and splitter more frequently. Ervin Santana was acquired by the Kansas City Royals last winter from the Los Angeles Angels and slipped into their new-look rotation behind James Shields. Santana, 31, went 9-10 with 211 IP, a 3.28 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. Santana can likely be counted on for more innings pitched than Jimenez, but has struggled with giving up home runs over the course of his career, something that will be taken into account considering the Rogers Centres reputation as a long ball stadium. Matt Garza is no stranger to the AL Easst.ddddddddddddHaving spent three seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, Garza has an impressive career record at Rogers Centre. In seven career starts in the park, Garza has 1.36 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. Obviously, thats an incredibly small sample size and he was pitching against the Jays during those starts, but it is an encouraging sign. Garza split last season between the Chicago Cubs and the Texas Rangers and didnt exactly light the world on fire in 2013, pitching only 151.3 innings thanks to continuing elbow problems, but with a respectable 3.82 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, going 10-6. There is a prevailing idea that the asking price on all three starters has dropped as free agency has gone on, but none of the three will come cheap. All are expected to fetch multi-year deals in the $14-16 million range. Signing any of the trio represents a significant investment by the club, but likely a necessary one. Lesser free agents are also available, but the likes of Bronson Arroyo, Tommy Hanson or Jason Hammel wouldnt appreciably improve the Jays current corps. On the trade front, the Jays have been repeatedly attached in rumours to Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija. Samardzija, the 28-year-old former Notre Dame wide receiver, represents a high-risk, high-reward proposition for the Jays. A hard-throwing fastballer, Samardzija has eclipsed the 200 IP plateau in one of his two full seasons as a starter and doesnt have any significant injury history. The potential in Samardzija is obvious, but so is the cost. Having traded a significant number of key assets last season in the acquisition of Dickey and the blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins, Anthopoulos would be loath to once again mortgage any part of the future. The Cubs dont need to move Samardzija and, as such, are asking for massive return. The Jays would likely have to part with two or more of their high-end prospects among Stroman, Aaron Sanchez, Roberto Osuna and Daniel Norris. Other names have been bandied about in terms of being available, including Tampa Bays David Price and Cole Hamels of the Philadelphia Phillies, but those options are more along the lines of pipe dreams. With a payroll already over the $100 million mark, management isnt keen on overpaying for a free agent disaster and last years big trades and the movement of young assets didnt bring the expected dividends. Anthopoulos must act prudently going forward, knowing that the benefit of the doubt isnt as easy to come by as it might have been before from both ownership and the fans. Still, in order for tangible improvement to happen, moves need to be made. But which avenue is preferable? Of all of the possible options on the table, how would you go about bolstering the Toronto Blue Jays rotation for 2014? As always, its Your! Call.
