There are players who started in 2016 for the Jacksonville Jaguars who were cut in roster trim downs to reach the final 53 man list. These weren’t cap-saving moves, they were legitimate cuts of guys who weren’t good enough to make the team this season.
Whilst these cuts raised some eyebrows from some of the Jaguars fan base – purely on name awareness basis – this is a significantly positive reflection on the state of the roster.
So who were these players, and what brought us to this position?
Linebacker was a position that got a boost from the draft with the arrival of the versatile and mega-talented Myles Jack.
