The Jaguars made their trade with the Lions official on Tuesday, sending receiver Dennis Northcutt to Detroit in exchange for safety Gerald Alexander, the Jaguars announced. The rare player-for-player swap appears to fill pressing needs for both teams. Alexander, who suffered a fractured vertebra last season, passed a physical for the Jaguars on Monday, but it wasn't until Tuesday that satisfactory results came back from Northcutt's physical in Detroit.

You'd think Mike Peterson never left the Jacksonville Jaguars, judging from the outpouring of support for his Bring It football camp held Thursday at Raines High School. Earlier in the day, former teammates Justin Durant, Clint Ingram, Tony Pashos, Quentin Groves, and Drayton Florence helped Peterson put close to 300 campers through drills in 94-degree heat along with his brother, Adrian Peterson, and new Jaguars tackle Tra Thomas. Jags safety Reggie Nelson and receiver Mike Walker strolled through for the autograph session afterward in the Raines High cafeteria.
