The AFC South champs took an impressive step forward in 2022 — check out the full list of upcoming Jaguars free agents for the 2023 offseason.
Were the Duval boys even supposed to be here? The conventional wisdom entering the 2022 NFL season maintained that the Tennessee Titans held pole position in the AFC South division until further notice; meanwhile, following a disastrous campaign that saw Urban Meyer last just 13 games with a horrific 2-11 record, this was widely expected to be a rebuilding year on the banks of the mighty St. John’s.
Then, the Jacksonville Jaguars messed with the whole program, besting the field to claim an unlikely division title.
And looking ahead to next season and beyond, most of the core of this team is likely to remain in place — but nonetheless, this is an organization with some intriguing roster decisions to make in the spring and summer months if the goal is to build a foundation for AFC South supremacy around Trevor Lawrence and Co.
With that in mind, Boardroom takes a closer look at each of the upcoming Jaguars free agents hitting the open market during the 2023 offseason.
