What did John and Gus make of the Jaguars' stadium news and Shad Khan's comments on the state of his franchise on the field?
The Jacksonville Jaguars have their new stadium plans approved, and owner Shad Khan had plenty to say on that, Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen, Doug Pederson and more.
"Of course, the future doesn't happen if it's not for the commitment to Jacksonville made more than 30 years ago by Delores and Wayne Weaver. Their legacy will forever be unrivaled, and they deserve our never-ending respect and thanks. So thanks, Wayne and Delores," Khan said on Wednesday at the Miller Electric Center. "I'll always be humbled that Wayne trusted me to carry on the Jaguars' tradition in Jacksonville, a city that he and Delores have always loved.
"But there's been one constant throughout: everyone wants to doubt Jacksonville. As of last night, that should no longer be the case. People can move on with other stuff, okay? Not a good day for the Doubting Thomases. But as of last night, I think we did something very significant. We have to remember, our journey to last night's historic vote was long, but it will always be remembered for the leadership of Mayor Deegan and her team.
