The move had been expected for quite some time, as the Jaguars needed to shed some cap room and save around $11 million in cap space from moving on. The Jaguars originally added Jackson as an unrestricted free agent in 2016, signing him to a massive six-year, $85.5 million deal with $31.5 million guaranteed. Some thought that the Jaguars spent way too much on a player who was a rotational played with the Denver Broncos, but Jackson had an immediate impact with the Jaguars with his highest sack total of his career with 6.5 sacks and then making the Pro Bowl in 2017 after picking up another career high 8 sacks.While Jackson’s play fell off in the 2018 season, he was still a good player on the Jaguars talented defensive line. He started losing snaps at the three-technique position to Marcell Dareus and later in the season rookie Taven Bryan. There is also some thought that Jackson played the season a little light in the pants and injured.I would expect Jackson to have a nice market in free agency and feel that he is still a very good player who can help another team, his price tag was just way too high for the Jaguars given their cap situation. The first few waves of 2019 NFL free agency have come and gone with almost all of the marquee signings off the board.

The Jacksonville Jaguars added Nick Foles and brought back right guard A.J. Cann http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-logan-cooke-jersey , but there are still some needs the team is going to have to fill with some stop-gap free agents and draft picks.Tight endCurrently, the most glaring hole on the Jaguars roster is at the tight end position. The team currently has just Ben Koyack and Pharoah McKever under contract. The Jaguars didn’t appear to be active on the tight end market in free agency, though I did hear they had interest in Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah prior to him re-signing with Cincy. I think this points to the team targeting at least one tight end early in the draft, many think as high as seventh overall with T.J. Hockenson, and it would make total sense.Offensive lineI presume the starter at right tackle is going to be 2018 fourth-round pick Will Richardson or a 2019 draft pick at this point. I always figured the Jaguars would get a veteran for one of their two open spots in the line and use a rookie for the other and with bringing back Cann, right tackle is that open spot. That’s not the only issue on the offensive line the team needs to address, though. A lot of the Jaguars depth, who plays a ton of snaps in 2018, are unrestricted free agents. Currently the team no longer has Ereck Flowers Lerentee McCray Jerseys Stitched , Josh Wells, Tyler Shatley, Chris Reed, Patrick Omameh, Corey Robinson and Josh Walker. I believe all but Robinson saw significant playing time last season and make up a large chunk of the Jaguars depth at the position group. You can’t fill that all in with draft picks and undrafted players, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a handful of them back at the right price.Running backI thought the team would be in play for someone like Mark Ingram or Adrian Peterson if the price was right, and after seeing the deal Tevin Coleman got they probably should have been in on that, but they chose to pass. Currently the team only has Leonard Fournette, Thomas Rawls Womens D.J. Hayden Jersey , David Williams and Demetri Flowers on the roster. I’d expect at least three more backs added prior to training camp, likely at least one being a 2019 NFL Draft pick. The team made a huge mistake going into the 2018 season with only three backs on the active roster and I can’t imagine they’ll do that again.Edge rusherWhile the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive line overall is deep and talented, they’re a little thin at the edge rusher position. Yannick Ngakoue is really the only true weakside end they have on the roster so I’d expect with the depth in the 2019 NFL Draft class that gets addressed at some point, potentially as high as seventh overall. I don’t think there will be a veteran addition at that position, as those guys usually aren’t cheap one-year deal type players.
