One position in particular that we could see the Jacksonville Jaguars target in free agency is cornerback.
In a recent article by ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler, as he was highlighting the Jaguars’ roster, he mentioned cornerback specifically as a position group to watch for in free agency.
Bolstering the cornerback position–as well as safety–will be a top priority for the Jaguars this offseason. A year ago, the Jaguars would rank 24th in completion rate and 30th or worse in interceptions, passer rating, and yards per pass attempt allowed, with too many big plays being surrendered.
Returning for the 2025 season are Tyson Campbell and Jarrian Jones, but solidifying the boundary spot opposite of Campbell will be a priority.
With help from Pro Football Focus’ free agency rankings, some of the top cornerback options include DJ Reed, Charvarius Ward, Rasul Douglas, Carlton Davis, Asante Samuel Jr., and Byron Murphy.
I recently took a closer look at a few of these cornerback options. Click here for more.
Priority No. 1 for new Jaguars’ defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile is to make sure that his defenders are playing with the right play-style, while the scheme is secondary.
“The most important thing when you talk about defense is your play-style,” said Campanile on Thursday. “My vision for us defensively, we want to be a tough, fast, physical, violent at the point of attack team.”
Scheme-wise, Campanile has operated in a number of different defenses, including from a secondary perspective, Brian Flores’ man coverage-heavy defense, Vic Fangio’s Cover-2 and disguise-heavy scheme, and most recently Jeff Hafley’s Cover-3 dominant scheme.
This wide-ranging background will help Campanile implement a system that is malleable, and able to adjust on the fly based on what the opponent is doing what what his own players do well.
The Jaguars currently have $32.27 million in available cap space, according to Over the Cap. In terms of spending power, this is the 17th-most in the NFL, although like every other team, the Jaguars do have cap maneuvers available to them to create more room.
