JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Branden Albert's decision to not participate in the Jacksonville Jaguars' voluntary offseason program was about more than just his desire for a new contract. It had a lot to do with the past three seasons.
Albert said the time he spent with the Miami Dolphins from 2014 to 2016 left him battered and in need of a complete recharge. And he was able to do that over the past two months.
“My body is pretty beat up after the last three years being in Miami -- mentally, spiritually and physically,” Albert said Tuesday after the first day of the Jaguars’ three-day mandatory minicamp.
