Lance 228 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Sad news for a local favorite...if anyone hears of him signing with someone else, let me know...I like Mike, good guy...hope he picks up another team if he wants to continue playing football. Compton cut by Jags Sunday marked the first time since 1992 that Mike Compton has missed an NFL season opener. The former Richlands High School star was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars following training camp. Compton, an 11-year veteran, was sidelined with an injured thumb for much of training camp after signing with Jacksonville in the offseason as a free agent. The 33-year-old offensive lineman had previously played with the Detroit Lions and New England Patriots, winning two Super Bowl titles with New England. He began his career with Detroit in 1993 after a standout career at West Virginia University. Compton, who has played every position on the offensive line during his professional career, could still sign with another team. The complete article is HERE!

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I hope he gets picked up. I met him before last season at a Fireworks show. He's a really nice guy. It's sad that he missed most of last season (including the Super Bowl) with a leg injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Lance, where did you find that information? He's not listed in the transactions for the last six days and he's still listed as the #2 left guard on the Jaguars depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
