Nick Foles A Candidate To Be Traded?

The Jacksonville Jaguars need to continue searching for a franchise quarterback.

Will Jaguars Pick Up Leonard Fournette's Fifth-Year Option?

The Jacksonville Jaguars must decide this offseason if they will pick up running back Leonard Fournette's $10.1 million fifth-year option for 2021.

Biggest Surprises of 2019 - Wide Receiver

The wide receiver position was probably the most exciting position of the 2019 fantasy football seasons, with so many different breakouts and busts.

D.J. Chark Doesn't Expect His Role To Change

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark doesn't expect his role to change going into next season under new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.

Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell seems confident that the team will re-sign defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, who is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
