Especially about the tight ends.
“That’s a room that’s going to have to be rebuilt in some ways,” he said.
With Tyler Eifert and James O’Shaughnessy becoming free agents when their contracts expire on Wednesday afternoon, the four remaining tight ends under contract for 2021 have a total of 14 catches in 59 games. Eric Saubert has the most, with 10 catches for 85 yards in 40 games, but he had just three catches last season with the Jaguars.
So, yeah, a rebuild there is critical, but at least the Jaguars are doing it in a year when there are several good free agents available, as well as what is regarded as a solid draft class. With the most salary-cap space available ($74.4 million) of any team and 11 draft picks (seven in the first four rounds), the Jaguars have the ability to make significant changes and finally get good production out of a position that hasn’t really done much over the past decade.
