For the second straight year, a prospect named Josh Allen was selected at No. 7 overall in the NFL Draft. Unlike last year’s Josh Allen, a quarterback, this year’s Josh Allen will make his money taking down shot-callers in the backfield. The Jacksonville Jaguars seemingly lucked into the Kentucky pass rusher when he unexpectedly fell […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have ushered in some significant changes this offseason. Regardless, it appears the plan for running back Leonard Fournette will remain the same. Despite his recent struggles, Fournette has served as the Jaguars workhorse since his arrival in 2017. Head coach John DeFilippo was adamant that the team will continue to rely heavily […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars did not exactly have a great season in 2018, and running back Leonard Fournette was one of the players who labored most. Limited to just eight games due to injuries, Fournette rushed for just 439 yards and five touchdowns while averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry, one season after he racked […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially signed seventh overall pick Josh Allen to his rookie contract that is four years long with a team option for year five. Plenty of reasons to smile.@JoshAllen41_ has officially signed his contract. #DUUUVAL pic.twitter.com/sdnK34cDE3 — Jacksonville Jaguars (@Jaguars) May 23, 2019 Many draft experts called Josh Allen one of the top […]

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue is entering the final year of his contract, but with pass rushers all around the league landing big deals, he knows his time is coming: “That [the amount those players received] is not a secret,” Ngakoue said, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. “We all can go on the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL this past season, as injuries limited in to eight games and he finished with just 439 yards and five touchdowns while averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry. Still, the Jaguars have hope that he will rebound in 2019, and […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new quarterback, and, as a result, they have a new playbook with it. Nick Foles arrived on the scene earlier this offseason, so the Jaguars will have some new wrinkles in their offense in 2019. Foles says there is a lot to learn, but notes that everyone seems to be […]

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Josh Allen is a little banged up, but don’t panic, it doesn’t appear to be serious. The first round pick is being held out of Thursday’s practice with a knee contusion, per John Oehser of the team’s official site. Jaguars coach Doug Marrone clarified that it wasn’t anything to worry about, saying […]

The Minnesota Vikings selected Irv Smith with their second-round pick in this year’s draft. After Smith’s name was called, it likely spelled the end of Kyle Rudolph’s tenure with the Vikings. The Vikings are tight on cap space with just $1.1 million remaining (32nd in the NFL). Trading someone like Rudolph could provide some cap […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially have a new starting quarterback under center with veteran signal caller Blake Bortles now part of the Los Angeles Rams. Vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin notably signed former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl hero Nick Foles earlier this offseason while the longtime New York Giants head coach couldn’t […]

Jacksonville Jaguars first-round pick Josh Allen played linebacker with the Kentucky Wildcats but that didn’t stop him from finishing at the top of edge pressures for players in the 2019 draft. According to Pro Football Focus, Allen had a 23.5 percent pressure rate and that is going to be an issue for offensive lines across […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off a very disappointing season after surprising everyone just two seasons ago. After being declared out of playoff contention just about halfway through the 2018 season, things could have gone much better for the Jaguars as they made the AFC Championship the year prior. Now with a much-improved offense led […]

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith hasn’t opened up anymore about why he is stepping away from the game of football for at least a season but one teammate has a hunch that he is battling some type of health issues. Defensive tackle Abry Jones knows Smith is trying to get healthy but he reached out […]

With Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith announcing last week that he isn’t playing football in 2019, there have been rumors flying that Myles Jack might be switching positions to take his spot. Jack played the strong-side and middle linebacker position his first two seasons but he doesn’t want to be the guy switching positions. Jack […]

Two years ago, Leonard Fournette made a huge impact as a rookie for the Jacksonville Jaguars, rushing for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns while hauling in 36 receptions for 302 yards and a score. He played a significant role in leading the Jaguars to the playoffs and then eventually the AFC Championship Game, and in […]

Never count Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles out. As a second-year player, he made the Pro Bowl while posting the third-highest passer rating in NFL history, and then, as a seemingly washed up retread, led the Philadelphia Eagles to their first-ever Super Bowl victory in 2017. A former third-round pick, Foles was finally rewarded this […]

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith recently announced he would step away from football for the 2019 season. That did not sit well with some people, who criticized Smith’s decision. In response to those people, Smith posted an Instagram story on Saturday blasting his critics and reminding them that football isn’t the be-all and end-all in […]

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone made it clear on Friday that the team is there to support linebacker Telvin Smith in any way they can. When Marrone stepped up to the podium on Friday to discuss rookie minicamp the first thing he talked about wasn’t about the rookies, rather the teams star linebacker. “I think […]

After sharing some cryptic social media posts earlier this week, Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith announced earlier this afternoon that he will sit out the entire 2019 NFL season. Jaguars’ LB Telvin Smith announced he will not play football in 2019. pic.twitter.com/GHCMhXmDQb — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) May 9, 2019 In an Instagram post shared on […]

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith recently took to Instagram to speak out regarding his current status in “Sacksonville.” While it appears as though Smith isn’t leaving the Jaguars anytime soon, his relationship with head coach Doug Marrone and the rest of the franchise in Jacksonville may be a bit strained. “Understand this, I never left […]

For the first time since 2015, Nick Foles will open the season as a starting quarterback. Sounds weird, right? Yes, Foles led the Philadelphia Eagles to their first ever Super Bowl title during the 2017 campaign. And yes, he led them to another playoff win this past season, but Foles doesn’t actually have a huge […]

Leonard Fournette had an incredibly rough season for the Jacksonville Jaguars last year. He even faced rumors that the team could look to trade or release him this offseason. Despite all of the rumors, he is set to enter the 2019 NFL season as the starting running back alongside of new quarterback Nick Foles. While […]

Could Jacksonville Jaguars defensive lineman Yannick Ngakoue be looking for a new contract? It seems that way. Ngakoue has joined cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith as Jaguars players that are absent from offseason workouts, but the difference with Ngakoue is that he actually attended for the first few days before leaving, according to […]

University of Kentucky pass rusher Josh Allen was considered one of the top defensive prospects in this year’s NFL Draft, and he ended up going to the Jacksonville Jaguars at No. 7. The thing is, Allen played outside linebacker in a 3-4 defense at Kentucky, and the Jaguars play a 4-3. That means Allen will […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars finally have a franchise quarterback capable of taking them deep into the playoffs. Still, if the team’s standout offensive line is any indication, that hardly means coach Doug Marrone’s team will be abandoning its time-honored smashmouth identity offensively. Early in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Jaguars traded the […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars spent the early portion of their 2019 NFL Draft continuing to stack up a defense that was already one of the fiercest in the league, drafting Kentucky linebacker Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick in the draft. Thankfully for Jaguars fans, Allen was one of the highest touted players coming into […]

Kentucky Wildcats linebacker slipped a bit in the draft falling to the Jacksonville Jaguars at seven, but it set up a pretty unique situation if Josh Allen going at No. 7 sounds familiar it should because the same thing happened in the 2018 NFL Draft. In the 2018 draft, it was the Buffalo Bills who […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars have undergone some significant changes this offseason. Regardless, it appears cornerback Jalen Ramsey will stick around for the long haul. Ramsey was slated to enter the final year of his rookie deal this offseason. Fortunately for both player and team, the Jaguars have since decided to exercise his fifth-year option, via the […]

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey recently skipped the early portion of the team’s offseason program. Head coach Doug Marrone had to clean up the mess. With both the media and Ramsey chiming in on the issue, Marrone and the veteran defensive back appear to have patched things up in Jacksonville. It is also worth noting […]

It sounds like Tom Coughlin. It reads like Tom Coughlin, and sure enough, it is Tom Coughlin. The head of football operations for the Jacksonville Jaguars wants a distraction to go away. Tom Coughlin when asked if he has a response to the NFLPA, Jalen Ramsey or his agent: “There’s no need for me to […]

Tom Coughlin is known for being a stickler about punctuality, so much so that there was once a time where he would be livid if you weren’t 10 minutes early to a scheduled meeting. So it didn’t come as much of a surprise that the Jacksonville Jaguars’ executive vice president of football operations did not […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of an incredibly disappointing 2018 campaign, winning just five games one year after going 10-6 and making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game and coming within a quarter of making it to the Super Bowl. Obviously, based on the season the Jaguars just had, there were […]

If one thing is for certain, Tom Coughlin is never going to let his players off easy. The Jacksonville Jaguars front office head was a punishing head coach, and he’s taken that mentality with him to his time as an executive. The Jaguars just started the voluntary portion of their offseason program, and there were […]

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles has no plans to trash talk his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles, when they match up in Week 2 of the preseason. “That’s not really my style,” Foles said with a laugh (via the Jaguars website). “And they know that as well. I’m sure they’re going to have a little […]

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was arrested at a Florida car wash last Thursday after police noticed an outstanding warrant for his arrest as a result of an unpaid speeding ticket. However, Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone says that the team will not be disciplining Fournette for the arrest, saying that he himself has […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars were a win away from the Super Bowl in the 2017 NFL season. 2018 was a major disappointment. The Jaguars went 5-11, finishing in last place in the AFC South. What made the season so confusing was how few changes occurred. Blake Bortles was still the quarterback and Leonard Fournette was the […]

Leonard Fournette has made it into the NFL news cycle but for the wrong reasons. The Jacksonville Jaguars running back was arrested on Thursday after driving on a suspended license. Fournette reportedly had a suspended license due to failure to pay a speeding ticket that he received last November. This doesn’t bode well for Fournette […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting in on the Quinnen Williams party. Although, they may be dreamers. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Thursday morning that Williams will visit the Jaguars today. Jacksonville has the No. 7 overall pick. It is doubtful Williams gets out of the top five picks. In fact, there is a strong chance […]

Ohio State’s quarterback Dwayne Haskins was a Heisman candidate and could end up being the first quarterback off the board in the 2019 NFL draft. Haskins looks primed for his debut in the big league and could be a difference maker as well as a star in the league for the foreseeable future. Haskins’ 50 […]
