2018 Key Additions: Doug Marrone’s talented squad scored one of the biggest coups of free agency with the addition of former Carolina Panthers guard Andrew Norwell. He adds a little more muscle to an improved offensive line that helped the Jacksonville Jaguars lead the NFL in rushing this past season. The club also boosted its wide-receiving corps with the addition of receiver Donte Moncrief, late of the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. The signing of tight end Niles Paul probably went under the radar a bit but it is a solid addition and offsets the decision to part ways with veteran Marcedes Lewis.
Offseason Review: The clubs saw its share of familiar faces depart this offseason. But thanks to some good drafting in recent years and some shrewd moves the last few offseasons, this is a club that could stick around for a bit when it comes to playoff contention. Of course, the remainder of the AFC South didn’t stand pat the last few months and the Jaguars did lose a pair of games to the rival Tennessee Titans this past year. And while he played solid football for the most part in the 2017 postseason, quarterback Blake Bortles sputtered in the regular season down the stretch. There’s still plenty of work ahead.
