RB Chris Thompson is signing a one-year deal with the Jaguars, per source. Good pass-catching option out of the backfield for Gardner Minshew.

Former Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson has signed a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he will reunite with his former coach Jay Gruden, who is now the OC in Jacksonville.
It doesn’t come as a major surprise that CT went where Gruden now is, as the two seemed to have a close relationship during their time in Washington. When it was announced that Gruden was fired by the Redskins, Thompson was seen crying to the media, wishing the best for his coach.
He will now play alongside QB Gardner Minshew and RB Leonard Fournette with the Jaguars, where he will likely carve out a role in the passing game.
