JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Former No. 1 draft pick Tim Couch signed a two-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, getting a chance to revive his career as a backup to quarterback Byron Leftwich.

Couch, the top pick by Cleveland in 1999, hasn't played a down in the NFL since the 2004 preseason.

I had heard he was trying to get back in the league I guess the Culpepper interest is getting cooler.

As a fellow Kentuckian, I am happy to see that he is getting another chance. He is a genuinely good guy and has a lot of talent. Playing for the browns just killed him.

Amazing, he is back from the dead. I saw him a couple of years ago when he was trying to make the squad in Green Bay. He was shockingly terrible. It was hard to be believe he was a #1 pick. The Jags QB situation can't be good if they offer him a deal. I would rather have Vinny T. than Couch.

Betcha he does not even make the team..

Worse yet, maybe he does...and what does that say about the state of the Jacksonville Jaguars???

He was definately in a bad situation in Cleveland. Basically like Carr in Houston, thrown into a starting job on a terrible team, an expansion team. I'm rooting for him. I like seeing guys get a second chance like Jim Plunkett. Now it's up to Carr and Couch to show what they can do with better teams behind them, for them, their chance to show this is in the preseason.
