New Jaguars DT Kyle Love (diabetes) hasn't been limited in OTAs, and is expected to be a "big part" of Jacksonville's defensive tackle rotation. | ||||||
Like Jay Cutler and a host of other professional athletes, Love has found a way to work around his diabetes diagnosis. A 24-game starter over the past two seasons, Love should play heavy snaps as a run stuffer as new coach Gus Bradley remakes the Jaguars' defensive line. | ||||||

Jaguars claimed DT Kyle Love off waivers from the Patriots. | ||||||
Love, 26, was waived by the Pats after recently being diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes. New England gave him the choice of sitting out a year or taking his walking papers and finding work elsewhere. Love started 24 games over the last two seasons, recording 58 tackles and 4.5 sacks. He'll likely compete with Roy Miller to fill the Brandon Mebane nose-tackle role in Gus Bradley's defense. | ||||||

| Wed Aug 22 2012 | 19:23 | Patriots extend Love through 2013 season | ||||
Patriots signed DT Kyle Love to a new two-year, $3.09 million contract. | ||||||
Love had been signed through 2012, owed $540,000 before his restricted free agency year in 2013. So the Pats essentially "bought out" the RFA season and he'll be eligible for unrestricted free agency in 2014. A fire hydrant at 6-foot-1, 310, Love opened the preseason at left defensive end in a 3-4 package. Love can also play the nose in tandem with fellow inside plugger Vince Wilfork. | ||||||

The Patriots are working on a two-year extension with DT Kyle Love. | ||||||
An exclusive rights free agent, Love's 2012 scheduled salary is $540,000. After a terrific season as a run stopper next to Vince Wilfork, the Patriots are willing to essentially buy out Love's 2013 restricted free agent year and give him a signing bonus on a multi-year contract. They've done similar things with CB Kyle Arrington and LB Gary Guyton in recent seasons. | ||||||

Their other picks where Geno Atkins and Isaac Sopoaga. Love, a 2010 undrafted free agent from Mississippi State, showed the ability to "hold two gaps" as a second-year starter, and showed up on tape as a "dirt dog," blue-collar player with disciplined performance to make the Patriots' defensive line a strength. | ||||||
