JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) A person familiar with the negotiations says the Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with New York Jets running back Chris Ivory and Carolina Panthers punter Brad Nortman.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Jaguars aren't announcing free-agent deals until players sign contracts. The person said Ivory agreed to a six-year deal and Nortman will sign a four-year contract.

Nortman changed his verified Twitter account to reflect his new team.

But the bigger news in Jacksonville was that the team failed to sign Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon or Seahawks guard J.R. Sweezy. Vernon landed with the New York Giants, and Sweezy agreed to terms with the Buccaneers.

Not getting those guys dampened the mood after the Jaguars made a huge splash Tuesday by agreeing to terms with Seattle defensive lineman Malik Jackson.
