Mario Williams made news this week for his “Kill ’em or hurt ’em” comments, which caused a stir in Buffalo. The pass rusher’s sage advice to his Bills teammates heading into summer break was less controversial.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said he expects the team to use a receiver-by-committee approach while WR Justin Blackmon serves his four-game suspension. Caldwell mentioned WRs Ace Sanders, Mike X. Brown and Mohamed Massaquoi as possible members of the committee.
Our View: What this means is more targets for Cecil Shorts. None of the receivers in this committee are that interesting for fantasy owners. Massaquoi has the most experience here and may emerge as the leader during Blackmon’s four week suspension.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell said the plan is for RB Maurice Jones-Drew (foot) to fully participate in practice once training camp begins. Caldwell said he is not concerned that Jones-Drew will be rusty if he comes to camp in shape.
Our View: Fantasy owners aren’t considering Jones-Drew a RB1 anymore. His current ADP is RB14 and he’s coming off the board at 2.06 in 12 team leagues. We’ll see if he can play better than people expect in 2013.

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said he hopes QB Tim Tebow will make the final roster. ‘We want high quality people who work hard, are team players. I don’t think there is a nicer person that I’ve ever met, and now he’ll get to compete with all the other people at the position, and our hope is that he’s on our 53-man roster,’ Kraft said.

Green Bay Packers WR James Jones said he believes he, WR Randall Cobb and WR Jordy Nelson could all post 1,000-yard seasons in 2013. ‘I’ve been on record as saying that I believe we have three 1,000-yard receivers in this room. I believe me, Randall and Jordy, if we all stay healthy, we can all reach over 1,000,’ Jones said.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh did not rule out the possibility of the team signing a wide receiver before the start of training camp. The team did work out free-agent WR Austin Collie (Colts) but have not signed him at this point.
