Welcome to 32 teams in 32 days. To get us through the offseason, we’ll be taking a closer look at every team in the NFL, in order of projected 2024 win totals. Up next: the Jaguars.
Lawrence had the Jaguars in first place in the AFC South with an 8–3 record, but then was helped off the field with, leading to a disastrous 1–5 finish to the 2023 season and missing the playoffs. Once again, the Jaguars had an up-and-down season with Lawrence. They did make the postseason in ’22, but that was after the team brushed off a slow start and benefited from a weak division.
Lawrence and the Jaguars have had shortcomings the past three seasons, but they paid their star signal-caller because of his high potential and what could come in the next five years. For 2024, the organization is banking on a few bold decisions this offseason to possibly help Lawerence reach elite status.
Many are talking about the Houston Texans in the AFC South, but the Jaguars could quickly contend again if Lawrence delivers an MVP-worthy season.There are pros and cons to the Jaguars letting Ridley leave for the Tennessee Titans after he only played one season in Jacksonville. The team didn’t overspend for a receiver who has had availability and consistency issues as he heads into his age-30 season.
