	Manuwai

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars tendered contract offers to four restricted free agents Thursday, including starting guard Vince Manuwai.

The team also offered contracts to receiver Cortez Hankton, running back LaBrandon Toefield and tight end George Wrighster.

Manuwai started every game at left guard for the Jags last season, but struggled at times. There has been speculation that the team might try to replace him with center Dennis Norman, who played well down the stretch in place of injured starter Brad Meester.

Wrighster caught 13 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Hankton played in five games and finished with three receptions for 15 yards.

Toefield was inactive much of the season, giving way to Greg Jones and rookies Alvin Pearman and Derrick Wimbush. But Toefield started the final game of the regular season against Tennessee and ran 25 times for 102 yards and a score.
