After spending 11 seasons in Philadelphia as one of the top left tackles in pro football, Tra Thomas is heading home to his native state of Florida as a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
On Monday, Thomas agreed to a deal with the Jaguars, which a source says covers three seasons. The value of the contract wasn't immediately known, but Thomas, a native of DeLand, Fla., is happy to return home.
The Eagles made Thomas, who played at Florida State, the 11th choice in the 1998 draft. He started 165 games as an Eagle and he went to three Pro Bowls.
The 34-year-old Thomas will be the starting left tackle in Jacksonville replacing Khalif Barnes, who is a free agent.
Thomas has missed just eight games in his career. Although the Jaguars cut several veterans in the offseason and vowed to rebuild through the draft, they felt Thomas was too good a player to pass on.
