The Jacksonville Jaguars came into the 2016 offseason with the most salary cap space in the entire NFL by a significant margin. This was thanks to the wholesale decimation of the roster enacted during the regime of former general manager Gene Smith. The Jaguars have literally nothing to hang their hat on from Gene Smith’s 4-draft classes and the team has paid for it to the tune of a 12-36 record under Gus Bradley.
The future should be significantly different, as the Jaguars have drafted good players over the last 3 years under new GM David Caldwell. Consequently, the team is going to try and re-sign some of their draft picks to second contracts.
