Thomas, Jags agree

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have filled their most glaring need by agreeing to terms with free agent offensive tackle Tra Thomas.

The team expected to sign Thomas to a contract later Monday.

The three-time Pro Bowler who spent the last 11 years with the Philadelphia Eagles is expected to replace Khalif Barnes at left tackle, a move that would give Jacksonville more flexibility heading into next month's NFL draft. The Jaguars had been almost certain to select a left tackle with the No. 8 pick.

Thomas, who attended Florida State, has missed just eight games in his career. Although the Jaguars cut several veterans in the offseason and vowed to rebuild through the draft, they felt Thomas was too good a player to pass on.
