Chris Thompson had to wait quite a long time on the free-agent market before finding his next job. But the former Redskins running back is set to be employed ahead of the 2020 NFL season.
And he landed exactly where many expected him to.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed Thompson to a one-year deal on Friday to serve as depth for the team.
The move reunites Thompson with former Redskins head coach Jay Gruden. The current Jaguars offensive coordinator was a big fan of Thompson and found a variety of ways to get the ball into his hands during their time together in Washington.
