Key Highlights
- Only running backs Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr saw meaningful snaps throughout the entirety of the season. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThis year, the Jaguars will face some tough decisions as only 60% of defensive snaps are set to return, the fourth lowest mark in the NFL.
- There’s some pretty big names that come along with that, namely Devin Lloyd and Montaric Brown. The Jaguars other 2026 defensive free agents include Emmanuel Ogbah, Andrew Wingard, Greg Newsome II, Dennis Gardeck, Dawuane Smoot, and Matt Dickerson. For reference to the snaps counts lost, Wingard leads Jaguars’ defensive free agents playing 88% of defensive snaps, 67% for Montaric Brown, 64% for Lloyd, 42% for Newsome II, 41% for Smoot, 39% for Gardeck, and 29% for Ogbah. Lloyd is obviously the big ticket item this offseason for the Jaguars and any other team looking for a playmaking linebacker.
- Over The Cap projects Lloyd to sign a three-year, $48 million contract, averaging $16 million per year. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMontaric Brown is the other player the Jaguars would hate to lose this offseason.
- He stepped up and showed out for the Jaguars, leading all NFL cornerbacks in zone coverage with an impressive 45.8 NFL Rating.
- Over The Cap projects Brown to sign a contract worth $4.5 million per year. Truthfully, his play this season warrants a bigger contract. For many of the other spots, the Jaguars have answers or at least options.
