The Bears are "trying to sign" free agent DE Jeremy Mincey, according to the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times

The Browns also reported to be interested. Early signs point to Mario Williams signing in Buffalo, leaving the Bears with a fallback option at defensive end. While Mincey showed a high motor last season, five of his eight sacks came in two games against the Colts' injury-depleted O-Line.

WGR 550 Buffalo lists DE Jeremy Mincey as a potential free agent target for the Bills this offseason.

The Jaguars have yet to make progress in negotiations with Mincey since the Combine and could opt to let the market determine his asking price. A sixth-round pick in 2006, Mincey flourished in defensive coordinator Mel Tucker's scheme this past season, setting career highs in tackles (57), sacks (8), and forced fumbles.

The Jaguars have begun contract negotiations with free agent DE Jeremy Mincey.

They're also meeting with the reps for free agent DBs Dwight Lowery and Rashean Mathis later in the Combine week. Mincey was the Jaguars' best defensive lineman in 2011, but they should be careful to not overpay. The former sixth-round pick out of Florida barely got on the field in his first five NFL seasons.

Free agent DE Jeremy Mincey says he is unwilling to give the Jaguars a hometown discount to re-sign him.

Mincey flourished in defensive coordinator Mel Tucker's scheme, amassing career highs in starts (16), tackles (57), sacks (8), and forced fumbles (4). A 28-year-old and journeyman before 2011, Mincey had bounced around the league for five seasons before breaking out in the last year of his contract. The Jaguars want Mincey back, but that sends up a bit of a red flag.

Jaguars GM Gene Smith's top priority this offseason is re-signing key free agents such as DE Jeremy Mincey.

Mincey was a revelation as the team's top defensive lineman in his fifth season, grading out as a top-12 defensive end in Pro Football Focus' ratings. CB Rashean Mathis, S Dwight Lowery, and DE Matt Roth are also expected to be high on Smith's list of priorities.

Jaguars DE Jeremy Mincey could stick as a starter even when Aaron Kampman (knee) returns, according to the Times Union.

Mincey has turned a corner this season and broke out with a sack, four hurries and five tackles in last week's loss to the Bengals. The most likely scenario going forward is a rotation at defensive end with Kampman, Matt Roth and Austen Lane.

Jaguars DE Jeremy Mincey will miss this week's game with a concussion.

Mincey has been "very good" in training camp and preseason action, according to ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky. He's expected to play a rotational role behind Aaron Kampman, Matt Roth, and Austen Lane.

Jaguars LE Jeremy Mincey played 56 snaps in Week 11, far more than any other defensive end in the team's rotation.

He registered a pair of sacks in the win over the Browns. "I think we liked having that relentless motor on the field, and he's productive," coach Jack Del Rio said. "He's not always right. There are times when he's wrong, but he's going so hard, he overcomes some of that with his sheer effort and desire." Mincey has always had pass-rush skills, but injuries have hampered him. He could be an interesting IDP sleeper down the stretch.

Jaguars LE Jeremy Mincey continues to start over Derrick Harvey.

Mincey had two sacks and two quarterback hits in Sunday's win over the Browns despite playing with a broken hand. Harvey came in as a rotational player and added a sack for a defense that is vastly improved at getting to the quarterback this season.

Jaguars LE Jeremy Mincey (fractured hand) is back practicing and hopes to play in Week 10.

Mincey fractured his hand late last month just hours after he was named a starter. His cast has been removed and he's now practicing with the hand heavily wrapped. It's not clear if he'll be thrust into the starting lineup right away when he's ready to play.

Jaguars LE Jeremy Mincey fractured his hand in practice on the same day he was announced as the team's new starter.

The journeyman described his injury as "Jeremy Mincey luck." Mincey, who's bounced around since being a sixth-round pick of the Patriots in 2006, is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City. On the season, the 26-year-old has just four tackles, one sack, and a pass breakup.

Jaguars DE Jeremy Mincey is expected to replace Derrick Harvey in the starting lineup.

He'd already been taking a lot of Harvey's snaps, and now it appears he's officially taken his job. Mincey has given the Jags a spark as a pass rusher, while Harvey has been a big disappointment as a former No. 8 overall pick.
