Jaguars free agents 2023: Every free agent on Jacksonville's roster and key decisions to make

The Jacksonville Jaguars project is finally beginning to come to fruition under the leadership of Doug Pederson. The Jags reached the Divisional round of the playoffs, falling to the Kansas City Chiefs in a one-score game. Their odds to win the 2024 Super Bowl are set at +2800 (way too early, admittedly) at DraftKings Sportsbook, and Duval fans have plenty to be optimistic about.

They finished off their 2022 regular season 9-8, winning the AFC South. As they head into the offseason and look ahead to the draft, there are several major contracts that may need re-negotiating as key players enter free agency. Tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Marvin Jones are probably the two biggest names whose futures with Jacksonville remain up in the air in free agency. Right tackle Jawaan Taylor and OLB Arden Key are two other impactful players heading to free agency.

Engram had over 800 receiving yards in the season and postseason, his first with the Jaguars. Baalke has expressed interest in extending Engram's time with the franchise. Taylor is a top pass protector in a pass-heavy offense that centers around Trevor Lawrence.
