JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The Jacksonville Jaguars have raved about guard Uche Nwaneri during minicamp, training camp and the preseason. They really showed their feelings for him Wednesday. Nwaneri signed a five-year extension reportedly worth $24 million, making him one of the long-term building blocks for Jacksonville's offense. The Jaguars moved Nwaneri to right guard this season in hopes of bolstering a running game that features Pro Bowl back Maurice Jones-Drew. Nwaneri says his agent and the Jaguars worked on the extension for a couple weeks and the final deal is ``something we're all happy with.''Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
