Get 'em in gear fast—Jaguars' swift fixes put them on track for a playoff run!
The Jaguars still have a fairly pressing need to address. Here are two ways they can go about doing that.
After a quiet start to free agency for the Jacksonville Jaguars , there is still one glaring need that exists: boosting the pass rush. Along the defensive front, the need for the Jaguars is twofold. For starters, at both defensive end and tackle, depth and competition are needed at each position.
But in addition to that, more pass rush juice is required as well. After the season, when Liam Coen was asked where the Jaguars could improve, one of the areas he mentioned was in their ability to affect the quarterback. While the Jaguars boasted the NFL's stingiest run defense last season, Jacksonville ranked 18th in pressure rate and 27th in sacks.
Free agent options for Jaguars There are still free agent options out there for the Jaguars to bolster their defensive end and tackle rotations. According to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL. com , some of the best available free agents at this point include defensive ends Joey Bosa, AJ Epenesa, Cameron Jordan, Kyle Van Noy, and Jadeveon Clowney.
At defensive tackle, Calais Campbell, DJ Reader, and DaQuan Jones remain available. The potential issue, however, is that the Jaguars won't want any additions to impact the compensatory draft picks they receive for the 2027 NFL draft. This is one of the main reasons behind the Jaguars' quiet start to free agency.
