Every NFL contract eventually comes to a crossroads, and the Jacksonville Jaguars have a few players approaching that moment as we enter the 2025 season. Some are entering the final year of longer contracts, while others are back in Jacksonville on one-year prove-it deals.
With a new coaching staff and considerable potential, Jacksonville is poised to become a dominant force in the AFC. High hopes, yes. The margin for error is thin, and showing consistency, durability, and impact will determine whether these three players secure a new deal—or watch the team move on without them.
