Jacksonville gave backup LT Richard Collier a four-year contract extension Friday.

Collier has played in eight games in three seasons in Jacksonville after being picked up as an undrafted free agent from Valdosta State in 2006. He missed two games last season thanks to a suspension stemming from a DUI arrest.

Commentary: Collier, a backup to starting LT Khalif Barnes, will continue to be counted on to provide depth along the line.

Fantasy Impact: Jacksonville looks to be a strong offensive team again in 2008 after making it to the divisional round of the AFC playoffs last season. Collier did enough to impress the Jags in the little time he's had, and if Barnes goes down, the signing indicates their power rushing game won't falter.
