Bob Sanders Passes Physical With Jaguars


Free agent safety Bob Sanders passed his physical with the Jacksonville Jaguars, head coach Jack Del Rio said on Friday.

After being released last week, Sanders kicked off his free agent tour with the visit with the Jaguars before visiting the Buffalo Bills.

"I loved the time that we had with him," Del Rio said, according to Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union. "We're exploring, I know he's exploring, whether or not Jacksonville will be a fit for him. That's the question. How much does he have left? He was very eager to continue his career, thinks he has a couple good years left in him. Certainly when he's on the field, he's one of the more dynamic players in the league."

The NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 2007, injuries have limited Sanders to just nine games over the last three seasons. Between 2009-10, Sanders earned nearly $3 million in base salary, while appearing in just three games.

Sanders, whose image remains on the side of Lucas Oil Stadium, turned 30 on Thursday. The Colts have expressed an interest in bringing Sanders back at a reduced salary.
