Moves Jaguars can make after freeing up $26M in cap space
This week, the Jacksonville Jaguars opened up a sizable amount of cap space that should now allow them to make some notable additions 2023 NFL free agency.
Last year, the Jaguars were major players in free agency, as they handed out a massive amount of money to players like Christian Kirk, Brandon Scherff, Foyesade Oluokun, and Evan Engram. Heading into this offseason, the team was expected to have limited flexibility when it came to making moves on the open market. However, that changed in a major way on Tuesday.
Just a couple of weeks before the new NFL year begins and free agents can take offers from other teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly freed up just over $26 million in cap space by converting nearly $33 million worth of money on the contracts of Kirk, receiver Zay Jones and Scherff into signing bonuses.
With the team taking major leaps forward in 2022 by winning the AFC South, the Jaguars are not too far from being contenders to reach the 2023 Super Bowl from the AFC. With that in mind, these are three players the franchise should target in free agency to improve or maintain their improved level of play next season.
