NFL execs weigh in on Jaguars' free agency approach
A few NFL execs weighed in recently on how things played out for the Jaguars during free agency.
With the dust having settled on the NFL's free agency period, a few NFL execs shared their thoughts on how things played out for the Jacksonville Jaguars with The Athletic's Mike Sando. In what was a quiet free agency period for the Jaguars , a lot of the outside focus is on who Jacksonville lost this offseason, with Devin Lloyd signing with Carolina and Travis Etienne with New Orleans. That is a lot of production on each side of the ball that now has to be replaced.
“Those might have been their two best players,” an exec told Sando. “They are trying to win comp picks to get a couple third-rounders for next year. OK, we’ll see.
The question is, do they know what to do with them? Because the receiver they traded two No. 1s to get (Travis Hunter) did nothing.
” As GM James Gladstone himself described , the Jaguars have been very mindful this offseason of the 2027 compensatory picks they are projected to receive. That compensatory pick formula can be impacted by who the Jaguars re-sign in free agency and which outside free agents they bring in, hence the lack of moves made. Also not helping matters is that the Jaguars do face a tight salary cap situation as well this offseason.
