Garrard signs Jacksonville extension

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., April 7 (UPI) -- Quarterback David Garrard Monday signed a contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the details were not disclosed.

Garrard, 30, out of East Carolina, has completed one season as a full-time starter. Despite an ankle injury, he completed 208 of 325 passes for 2,509 yards and eight touchdowns.

He won the starting job just before the 2007 season started, replacing Byron Leftwich, who was released. With just three interceptions on the year, he finished with the NFL's third-highest passer rating at 102.2.

Jacksonville set single-season franchise records in 2007 with 411 points and 50 touchdowns.
