Cornerback Rashean Mathis chose familiarity over uncertainty. Mathis decided to avoid free agency by signing a one-year, incentive-laden contract with the Jaguars on Thursday. The deal could be worth $5 million if he plays all 16 games this season. He has missed 17 games over the last four seasons because of injuries. "Some people will ask why I wouldn't test the market," he said. "But I don't think too many guys really want to do that. It's usually something you have to do. For me, it was an easy decision." A second-round draft pick out of Bethune-Cookman in 2003, Mathis has spent his entire career in Jacksonville. He has 538 tackles and a franchise-record 30 interceptions in 125 career games.
