Any Cincinnati Bengals fans hoping the team might pursue Jacksonville Jaguars guard Andrew Norwell - a former Anderson High School standout who starred for the Ohio State Buckeyes - might have underestimated what a huge Norwell supporter Jags head coach Urban Meyer is.
From Jaguars team reporter Ashlyn Sullivan:
Norwell, 29, played at OSU from 2010 to 2013. Meyer was the Buckeyes' head coach from 2012 to 2018.
Norwell, one of 17 NFL players from Greater Cincinnati high schools, became the highest-paid guard in league history when he signed with Jacksonville in March 2018.
Norwell has two years remaining on his contract. Recent reports - including one from CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora and another from SI.com's Albert Breer - have suggested that the Jags could look to trade or release Norwell.
The Jags also could approach their highest-paid player about restructuring his contract.
