New Headline: "Unbeaten Squad Embarks on Epic Clash with AFC in Tifosi
The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost much more than they've added in free agency so far, and one analyst blasted the team's strategy after a successful 2025 season.
NFL analyst roasts Jaguars for poor free agency performance originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . Free agency has been open for a week now, and the Jacksonville Jaguars have been one of the quietest teams.
Well, quiet in terms of adding talent- they've lost several key contributors. The Jaguars have seen starting running Travis Etienne Jr. , starting linebacker Devin Lloyd, and starting defensive backs Greg Newsome II and Andrew Wingard all sign elsewhere this offseason.
In response, the team has made one notable signing so far- depth running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. Don't get me wrong, Rodriguez is coming off a career season and could be a solid contributor. However, that signing doesn't make up for all the team has lost.
Garrett Podell of CBS Sports recently graded each team's offseason so far, and the Jaguars got one of the worst grades in the league. Podell gave the Jaguars a D- and offered the following analysis: The Jaguars will be relying on Travis Hunter to essentially be a full-time corner in 2026, but at least they acquired a rotational running back in Chris Rodriguez Jr. fresh off a career year.
