Jaguars' Peyton Thompson: Re-signs with Jaguars

Thompson signed his exclusive-rights contract tender with the Jaguars on Monday, Howard Balzer of BalzerFootball.com reports.

Thompson, who converted from cornerback to free safety last offseason, finished the 2016 season with five tackles on defense and six on special teams across 15 game appearances. He'll likely enter the 2017 campaign in a backup role behind starter Tashaun Gipson.
