Jaguars non-committal on Telvin Smith's future with team

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell responded vaguely to questions about the future of linebacker Telvin Smith.

"We'll see," Caldwell said Saturday when asked if he expects Smith to be on the team in 2019, according to Phillip Heilman of The Florida Times-Union. "I don't want to get into hypotheticals."

Smith was a Pro Bowler in 2017 but wasn't quite as effective last year. The 28-year-old didn't show up for the Jaguars' conditioning workouts before the draft, drawing the ire of top executive Tom Coughlin even though the activities were optional.

Jacksonville used a third-round choice in the NFL draft to select Quincy Williams, who could compete for snaps at Smith's position.

Smith signed a four-year, $45-million extension with the Jaguars in October 2017. He's set to earn a base salary of $9.75 million in 2019.

Caldwell said he didn't receive any calls from teams looking to trade for the 28-year-old during the draft, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco.
