Jaguars' Shocking Draft Blows Up NFL's Controversial Picks
Here is a break down of seven Jaguars related free agency signings.
It was nearly a week ago that the NFL's free agency legal tampering period began, and compared to the rest of the league, it's been a relatively quiet stretch for the Jacksonville Jaguars . Up to this point, only one outside signing has been made, with the addition of running back Chris Rodriguez. GM James Gladstone recently described the reason behind this quiet start.
But in addition to that move, the Jaguars have made a few re-signings, and we've seen some of their own free agents end up elsewhere. Let's break it all down. Jaguars sign RB Chris Rodriguez Rodriguez, who is entering his fourth NFL season, took on a much larger role with Washington last season, carrying the ball 112 times, while averaging 4.
5 yards per rush. He does not have much pass-catching experience in the NFL. With the Jaguars, Rodriguez could help shoulder the workload out of the backfield with Bhayshul Tuten, while LeQuint Allen continues to see the field during more obvious passing situations.
He also brings some experience to a relatively young running back room. Rodriuez's most productive season in college, where he rushed for nearly 1,400 yards, came with Liam Coen as the offensive coordinator. Panthers sign LB Devin Lloyd Lloyd signed a three-year, $45 million deal to join the Panthers.
